Poor /no signal since Augt 2014 promises not kept

I have written numerous e-mails & made numerous calls to Vodacom & ICSA to complain that I either have no signal or poor signal since August 2014 and it is even worse in the last month. I am on a 3G prepaid ****le system *** and in the middle of doing banking or bidding on E-bay my connection is lost and I then often have to re-download the same website to continue, using up my data due to Vodacoms poor service.<br> Here are the responses I got in writing & verbally from Vodacom:<br> 1 ) . Move to another service provider (if I in my job told a customer that I would be fired for bringing the company into disrepute).<br> 2 ) . New tower going up nearby in Parkrand - that was in Feb 2015 in response to my complaint to ICSA .<br> 3 ) . Chief Engineer for my area phoned me having seen all my complaints and kindly offered as a gesture of goodwill 2gb free data 1st/2nd of every month for 1 year. Got for a couple of months , but nothing this month - Call Centre told me when asked about it , it is not the end of the day yet & anyway I must remember it is a Good Will gesture not a right.<br> 4 ). Vodacom Escalation & ICSA will not reply to my last 4 e-mails to re-open the case

Still poor 3G signal in Boksburg South , now been told it would be resloved since August 2014 , reported to ICSA Feb Feb 2015 and still have poor signal now September 2016. No doubt if I phoned Vodacom or ICSA they would tell me to swop to another servive provider just like all the times before. I was also told by Vodacom I would be kept informed of progress on 2 x sites going up in my area , but heard nothing. Still have not received the 2GB goodwill promised for one year by Chief Engineer for my area for all the inconvienence.

So Vodacom just as *********** as ever and also lying in adverts that they cover 99% of SA.

Nothing changed since my last posting or in fact since August 2014 & no one has contacted me as was promised above by Vodacom.

Absolutely disgusting company & it should have been fines or closed down by ICSA long ago , but Vodacom seems to have ICSA in their pocket.
