April Fool, a little early?

A few days back I received an sms to say Vodacom had upgraded their service in the Byrne 3780 area. Clearly an April Fools joke! There's been only either Edge or no service since. Vodacom has been down more than up [not very different to their usual service provision...], regardless of which of my devices using Vodacom sim cards I try. Go back to the drawing board, Vodacom. MTN remains the way to go.
