My 3g is pathetic at the moment. Same last night. :( got 50meg data to use up and cant even get on line. So now i must throw away the data. :( I personaly think the more towers that are 3G the slower the data is becoming. The mount Pleasant area used to be quite fast, almost impressive. But now Eish!
 
Tried getting through to 155 LOL! after pushing a bunch of buttons and waiting impatiently, the moegoe puts the phone down on my ear! :mad::eek::mad:
apparently they have a high call rate at the moment! :p Wonder why? :rolleyes:

No data connection

Same problem this side of milnerton.Getting messages of connecion of time out's.This is the 3rd night is a row around the same time every night.Using my mtn sim to connect to the internet at the momemt.
 
If this is the result of Vodacom upgrading their towers with Alcatel equipment, maybe they should downgrade right back to Siemens again ... just going by the messages posted lately - the situation is getting a bit ridiculous.
 
I've been having problems with my 3g connection for about a month now... I am using a vodacom and a mtn sim and both does the same, it will be connected and working fine and fast then all of a sudden there will be no throughput and then I have to wait a couple of minutes and then it will work again without re-connection en though re-connecting fixes it faster. This will happen every 10 minutes or so and is very frustrating :( it just did it before typing this and then before I even got to post it again!anyone else in brackenfell having the same issues? I wonder if the tower is messing arround?
 
I was up for about 4 hours, left the pc for a while, came back now and it was disconnected. Reconnected and posted. So I dont know whether there was possible problem in that period when I was away. chiz. :cool:
 
I've been having issues (major) for the last 5 days consistently disconnected from the network from around 19:30 until whenever - sometimes until the next morning, sometimes for 4 hours and like tonight from 19:30 until 21:00 I was disconnected.

During the day, my signal couldn't be any better (well, u know what I mean - in context) only a pity, that that's the time of the day they decide to call to troubleshoot. Wish they would call me to troubleshoot when I'm experiencing the issue ?! I mean hello?

The funny thing is, they're trying to pin this on modem. Like my modem suffers from good manners and disconnects itself from the server when the server's load spikes ... a gentlemanly device indeed

The swap-out is currently in your area, so that might affect you.

The guys are swapping about 50 towers per week, so getting them all optimised again is quite a challenge.
