Celtel is not just connecting all evening inspite of presence of gprs signal. Anyone having similar experience?

Hey guys, just popping in to salute my brothers and sister in Africa's most populous country. Can't believe you guys still don't have 3G. I'm writing this message looking at a little wi-fi tower atop my favourite restaurant happy in the knowledge that I can connect some sort of "broadband" service almost anywhere in this wonderful city. Things are not perfect though but there's quite some options for a fast connection...from the much maligned 3G to WiMax which is slowly being rolled out.
Hope Telkom does something with their purchase of Multi-Links...its quite weird, as they're expanding in Africa there's talk that MTN will buy their South African operations- including their landline network.

And if that happens, MTN will own MultiLinks by default?
...that would be MTN's second landline after acquiring VGC Comms last year.
I wonder when Globacom's landline and broadband internet will commence operation, not a word about it for over a year now.

@brym: AFAIK Telkom has split its South African operations and that on the continent in two seperate companies. That means MTN will only buy the SA operations of Telkom. This means that Telkom will sell its 50% stake in Vodacom (a majority) which will be bought by Vodafone. This will leave the new Telkom with enough cash reserves to make more telecoms purchases on the African continent which management has targeted as an area of expansion.

@brix: Thanks for the clarification. Sounds strange though for a SA owned company to sell its home business to invest abroad. Lets us hope for better days for Multilinks then.
@all; I still can not access the net through Celtel. Have they changed their APN again or am I the only one experiencing this problem?

AYA: Thanks. Could it be that we are going to get new APNs since it appears hackers were having a field day browsing for free?

What about Vodacom? Any news of its latest strategy?
I eagerly await what Multi-links/Telkom will do here in Nigeria. I find the Nigerian market strange.
-First eveyone bought one line
-Then every elite got two lines each
-I think we are in the thrid wave: getting a CDMA line for local calls
-Multi-links/Telkom may catch this second wave or create a third wave: cheape internet access at home
