I stay in Parklands East in a free standing house in Surrey Street. Since residing here for the last 3-4 years ago the network has been very poor such that you cant real make a phone call with Telkom. You must rely on Whatsapp calls via the wifi.
I am certain that other home owners are also experiencing the same around the area. I wanted to check if MTN has sight of this issue from an infrastructure point of view? I dont think it makes sense for us to be living like this in a modern city as if we live in a farm somewhere in rural areas?
How best can we address this issue?
I stay in Parklands, Cape Town, Wester Cape
The is the network is so poor such that I cant even make a call from my house, let alone the inability to use my mobile data. I solely rely in wifi to make whatsapp calls and when its off it means no calls for me. I need to drive up Parklands Main Road to Caltex Garage to be able to make a clear call.
This problem is common for me on Telkom and even MTN since my wife uses MTN.
I am on Andriod and I also have iOS.
I use Samsung A50 for Telkom Mobile, and iPhone 12 for MTN. This is not a devuce problem, it is a poor network issue in Parklands East, Surrey Street and Brompton Bend. Anyone that comes to our house cant make calls at all. So it is a common issue which might be linked to the lack of towers for the major networks such as MTN and Telkom.
Plz advise.
