    Wellllllll......In Rustenburg the CellC still runs EDGE and they have promised that they should have the Woooosh running by end of this month. So I am holding my breath.
    It took Telkom 2 1/2 weeks to get the lines up again. Turns out the municipality dug up Telkom cables and neatly closed the hole again ultimately cutting 1500 lines and not telling Telkom even where the dug up the lines. !

    Cell C

    Cell C are just Great!! I baught the 2gigs package for R1499. Last night when I went to bead I had 1.6 Gigs left. This morning when I woke up I had 5GiGs.

    It looks like they are even giving Gigs away for free now.

    :-)

    P.S Cell C outpeforms MTN by far. Except I battle to get a connection when I am in Central, East London.

    I've just made the change from Vodacom 3g to Cell C's new speed stick deal and all I can say is

    Whoooossssh!

    This thing pounds V3g for speed in my neck of the woods.

    Internet - the way it should be - finally

    Yip, other than losing the signal at inopportune times the CellC dongle is a hell of a lot beter than most. Not near the speeds they claim but still impressive enough to warrant buying it. I have a 7mb dongle with 2G pm and intend getting a 22mb 5G pm too. That will give me a cap of 7G per month at the higher speed. No-one can compete at those rates. Had I known of the 22mb, I would have opted for that rather than the 7mb, possibly even 2 of them. I might just do that anyway.

    Yup its good stuff. I have also had the 5 Gig "boost" for no reason, they didnt seem to pick it up, but never used it either just in case.

    I have noticed a reduction in speed last 2 nights though although i think it is the international connection not the local... not sure.. but must say have been pretty happy with it.

    Sparks i have tested that 5gig package now thats WHHHOOOOSSSHHHH!!!... it's like almost twice the speed if your in signal (edge is same)

    Oh i still have major connection issues with the Linux, but the solution i am waiting on is the router... apparently the first batch was faulty and withdrawn. Once thats in... fantastic!

    Thanks Garthu, I expect it to be double.What I would like to know is not so much the misleading download speed but rather the actual "transfer rate". Some speed tests do not show it. That, afterall is the actual speed that you are working. If you could perhaps check that on the 5G I would appreciate it.

    Hiya Sparks,... sorry cant do the 5G test, it was a test unit from the cell C shop when i went through. Most of the Cell C shops seem to now have both available to test with... it shouldnt be a problem to use one for a few minutes
