Wow! Vodacom!

Well this is not just a moan and bitch post but a pat on the back for VC in respect to the data service from my tower in Sunward Park, Boksburg.
The performance is now great during the day (low usage time) with the expected cell breathing at peak periods after hours.
The following is a Speed Test result just obtained using a Novatel MC950D USB modem (7.2mbs)

Now just get you prices right before I renew my contract again.

cell c all the way! 8mb/s downloads - what a pleasure.

Remember the results I achieved was using a 7.2 modem. Also I wonder what will happen to Cell C when their networks really load up later on. I have seen a lot of unhappy posts in their section.
It's only VC's prices that are my gripe now.

Wow looks like VC is getting their network in order, now only if they can shock us with some sweet data packages.

8mb/s a pleasure? Your standards are seriously low! (m = milli or 1/1000 and M = mega or 1000000)

Do not underestimate Vodacom.

Let's see how CellC cope with a lot of people on their data network. Like someone else has said, they have not proved themselves yet.

I think you missed my point - the difference between 8mb/s and 8Mb/ is a factor 1 000 000 000...

OK, so I gave VC some praise. Maybe I was just lucky then! From last night I had disconnects from the server continuing till today. The Vodacom site is broken so one cannot get data and airtime balances.
Must phone VC to get the lapse date of my contracts. (I know it's soon)
But hey, all the mobile isp's seem cr*p.
