MTN & Afrihost Network Failure

<p>My MTN 3g data connection (via ****le, airtime via Afrihost) has, barring the odd issue worked since September 2015.</p> <p>Last Friday 15 July 2016 as of 08:00AM I was able to connect but not send or receive mail or use the internet.</p> <p>Sequence of events:</p> <p>Friday 15 July: 4 calls to Afrihost who tended to lean in favour of blaming MTN<br />2 calls to MTN 808 to try to get this resolved – Treated like a **** by a lethargic consultant <br />Several calls to both over the weekend<br />Several Tweets to MTN over the weekend…only vaguely responded to on Monday…..<br />Called an area technician at MTN who has assisted me in the past, he has changed areas and referred me to Gareth Wepenaar and his superior, Yasseen.<br />I was told that there is interference in the area probably due to a private individual erecting an ******* repeater……<br />Today is a week and one day later, Friday 22 July and still no resolution, after both parties have played the “blame game” and been vague beyond belief.<br />Strangely, my wife has her cellphone contract with MTN and is able to use the internet and data without a problem, yet my Afrihost data connection still does not work.<br />I work from home in the IT field and have been unable to work for a week….Oh, and on informing Yasseen about my wife’s phone data being in working order, he suggested I use my wife’s phone as a modem….ok, then what does my wife do as she needs her phone at work…..not the smartest suggestion!</p> <p>My contact number is ********** (below number is the data number)</p>
