Left office in Kuilsrivier about two hours ago, 8-ta completely dead there.

Still awaiting their response from more than two weeks ago. I just don't get around to loading my CellC sim. But apparently the whole of SA is sitting with crap mobile data at the moment.
 
Slow speed, unable to open webpages and just the general problem as reported by other CT users.
