w00t VM flying tonight

[Conspirator]

TiredOfWaiting: Thanks for VM menu info

Performance appears to have improved here

Yeah, lots of downtime recently, but it seems to have worked out OK.

Now if we could only shoot a few Cell-C weekend callers...

peak speed 177kbps on EDGE

Wow, your tower must really like you. Or is there a trick? 10KB/s is cool, but 22 would be better.

[DragonLogos]

Nothing and lots of it

 

[AirWolf]

@ Conspirator, I'm getting a signal strength of -67 dBm. What's your signal strength like?

 

[CellBel]

I am on MTN again after VM gprs went down on my side at 11h00.

 

[Boodles]

Yep, went down for me toooo..

Back on now, though

 

[DragonLogos]

Still nothing, can they not pay people to work on the weekends, having a service down for three days is a bit much

 

[CellBel]

Yes i see it's back again.

This ongoing daily problem needs to be reported to icasa - its surely against virgins license agreement.

Good idea, though I don't know if there is any stipulation about service quality at all. They also seem to deny most problems or just refuse to report them (mostly) so we would need to rely on some evidence.

Perhaps we ought to revive the letter campaign to Richard Branson (Screw it let's do it ).

-73. *Goes to find 4 blueteeth dongle*

Unlikely.

Had a bit of downtime this morning too.

ETA: The Gamco speed test blows. Just did a test and got 96KB/s (770kpbs). Yeah right.

 

[DragonLogos]

Still not working this end - maybe we should start a fund so they can pay people on the weekend

 

[CellBel]

Since this afternoon it's sloooooooow & unstable.

 

[AirWolf]

The flying Virgin crashed into the sea here about 30 minutes ago Connects but only getting traffic on way - up

Still not working this end - maybe we should start a fund so they can pay people on the weekend

Maybe part of the problem is the "You can talk for free on weekends" people hogging the network

 

[CellBel]

VM GPRS down again on my side.

 

[Skeptik]

On MTN today. Boy is it FLYING . Hope it stays this way during the rush hour.

 

[AirWolf]

VM is up again with pretty decent speeds. The beginning of a new week brings some respite from the "talk-for-free-on-weekends" network hogs

 

[CellBel]

I am on VM GPRS now, but it is slow.

 

[AirWolf]

I am on VM GPRS now, but it is slow.

Speed dropped here too, and also 2 dropped connections in the last 10minutes

 

[Boodles]

Logged on at 10pm, and its been fine.
