@RHINO8.The reason Vodacom GPRS is slow because we have more customers than other 2 networks combined.Thats where 3G comes in the pictures.GPRS and EDGE speeds is affected when people make,receive a call,SMS.GPRS,EDGE and voice calls uses the same time slots thats why you will get slow connections.3G has unlimted capacity.If you want me to explain how 3G works....I think i did mention on this forum how it works.If you dont know how GSM AND UMTS works.All i can say is KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

Hey open your eyes and read mr high and mighty vodacom.... I told you i dont give a flying shite why, MTN is giving me mo probs and faster service, ill use that. Since voda started rolling out 3G they just stopped caring bout other users. Now you dont need to explain anything to me, i know how 3G and 2G nets work, and i know the diff. You think you know more than anyone. I got news for you, there are other ppl that know this stuff, we just dont make such a big deal bout it.

@Tahir... You couldn't possibly hurt my feelings...only a woman could.
@uthetha: I hear you mfowethu, people buying branded phones don't know that they're limiting their options ...the phones might be cheap but there's a definite catch.
@Rhino: Don't blow a gasket, it's not worth it.

@ brix, i know.
@ tahir, since they started with 3G, i started getting problems. Delayed sms, sometimes the sms never gets delivered neva had this prob before 3G, if you wanna make a call it says network busy and that keeps on for hours, voda may be the best network around but at this moment they are not doing much good.
I only use the best i can get at da best price i get. And thats not voda at the moment.

Mr HOT SHOT RHINO 8 in your previous post you said you know how GSM and UMTS networks work.....Well if you know how they work.I dont think so because now you are complaining after Vodacom launched 3G you got problems with sending SMS and making calls......If you did not know 3G traffic does not go through 2G.

What i am saying, is that once 3G started they stopped caring bout the 2g network. I never had constant problems like this. It doesnt really have anything to do with 3G. Except that they now dont care bout 2g users anymore.

@Rhino 8 Vodacom connections on month to month is on the increase.Some months it even higher than December sales.Although stiff competiton Vodacom still has 60% market share in SA and Vodacom has the lowest churn.In year 2000 Vodacom was complaining to goverment they wanted the 1800mhz spectrum to grow there business.Its only from this year Vodacom has the rights to the 1800mhz band but Vodacom is implementing 3G because the licence fee is same for the 1800mhz spectrum and 3g capacity is greater.Thats why Vodacom is trying to sell 3G because it 2g network is over subscribed.In the next 5 years Vodacom 2g network will not be in existance.....Vodacom wanted extra spectrum 5 years ago govement said no.Now its whos fault............................BRIX i see in the NIGERIAN forum you are telling them lies that Vodafone branded handsets cannot view other sites.Thats BULL SHIT.Try a Vodafone handset and i GAURANTEE you can browse other sites.

Not without my permission they can't. I see you're not debating the fact that with a branded handset you can only download content from the network's portal unless you flash your handset to it's original fw.
