Virgin Mobile South Africa
Poor 3G/HSDPA signal coverage

Telecommunications

The 3G/HSDPA signal in my area, Roodepoort, is completely unacceptable. On the weekends it works wonderfully well but during the week, the signal is non-existent even late at night. I can understand that it might be a little slower during the week with possibly more activity but all I can get is EDGE. It's impossible to anything productive at that speed.

It's almost as if there is one standard for weekends and another for weekdays. The coverage map from CellC shows that I should have a great signal but alas that is false advertising.

I have been disappointed with the coverage since day one and will not be taking any further contracts with Virgin Mobile as a result.
