Vodacom 3G sucks!

Unexpected error!

Not really. Just the regular inadequate service from Vodacom 3G in the Durban North area at this time of the evening

It's really starting to tick me off

I think I'm going to keep updating this thread as things happen, or at least sort of happen. Call it my own little diary. Got to vent somehow

Today I get another call from Vodacom - "Have I been contacted by planning?"

It emerges that one of those phonecalls I got about three weeks ago when the issue was escalated was someone from planning. It is confirmed and logged on the system - not enough capacity on the tower. The only question left is how long will it take for Vodacom to fix it. After all, not enough capacity means too many (paying) subscribers. I'm assuming it must be financially viable to increase capacity, whatever that might involve.

The problem is also getting worse. Last night was just ridiculous. And I can't be the only person in the area who is getting really p'd off by this.

dave it sounds like you need to move away from gateway...someone told me they are having the same problem with 3 G up that way...try virgin mobile or telkom broadband

...found it...

Personally I think Vodacom as a company has a fairly big problem on the customer services side, the problem is simple, they are VERY stingy...

I looked at vodacom, my mom got vodacom, I tried vodacom, I am very thankful for telkom! I feel your pain Dave.

I'm no computer genius, so I cannot comment om the technical side, but yes, the dropping off the network and slow speed after 18h00 is just so annoying - I would rather watch 7de Laan on SABC2 than connect via 3G...........

Oh Murdock, ever so sorry!!!

Shall I arrange a party for you at Alice's club or perhaps at Cherry on Top? That way you may also enjoy your dinner in "style"......
