Dropped Calls/Signal

Over the last year in particular, Vodacom's signal has deteriorated to such a bad level, that my cell doesn't even ring, I just get sms's saying I missed a call. It doesn't even show on my call logs. When I do get the chance to answer, during the call the connection makes a horrible noise and then the call drops or freezes until I disconnect, even if I have 4 bars. I have noticed this especially when it is windy as I get a lot of "No service" notifications.

This has become a serious problem in my personal life, for my family, as well as trying to run a business using Vodacom. I am seriously considering migrating. MTN used to be bad in this area but I don't experience these problems with MTN . I live and work in the Howick/Merrivale/Mpophomeni area.
