Poor Reception and low connection speed

I have been experiencing poor reception with very poor connection speed since I moved into the SW5 suburb of Vanderbijlpark two years ago. I have logged a couple of calls to MTN and have followed various steps like resetting settings on my device, doing a sim swap etc but no improvement. The MTN website shows we get 3G coverage in the area but the best I am getting is edge. My neighbors are also experiencing the same problem.<br> <br> Some months back a lady from MTN call centre told me that technicians and engineers where busy working on the tower nearby and that I should give it a few days and see if there is any improvement. There has been no improvement in the signal strength as well as the connection speed whatsoever.<br> <br> My ref nr is: ***7<br> <br> Please address this matter as my MTN contract is running out in 2 months and I am considering moving to another service provider if the reception and connection speed does not improve.
