I have used vodafone for 6 months, but am now going to return to Qtel. On vodafone, my calls drop off at least once a day due to connection error. Twice a day I can expect to answer a call and get some bizarre harsh static noise on the phone, and at least once a week it will take redialing 10 times for the call to go through as the network is busy.

I am all for competition and would have enjoyed seeing vodafone succeed, but unfortunately no amount of special deals or high gloss marketing can offset a poor network.
