I'm stuck with MTN (primary) and Cell © (secondary) for at least another year. I personally don't think there are enough options available in the cellular provider market for us rape vict... err, I mean consumers.

The journo forgot that there is also 8ta to choose from. Found that they are making good progress in signing retail outlets for airtime etc... making it easier to recharge. Hope the will launch some 21Mbps in the future

Im always wondering about these surveys , in my entire time of having a phone ( nm a cell phone ) i have been phoned once re a survey ( was for highveld / 5fm what one i prefer ,i said neither but getting off the point ) ,in a country where we have millions of people with cell phones how do we end up with 1203 people who bothered to answer , and thats a good reflection of the market ????
My 5 cents
Lies , Damn Lies , Statistics and then Surveys

Cell C for data (voted) - but Vodacom for voice
I see the votes are no longer anonymous

My preferred Cellular Provider would be Cell C, but I am currently stuck in a contract with MTN. So I voted MTN, even though it made me sick in the stomach.

Well they did enter the market late, and with 3 mature players in the market already. I think they have a great product, with their cheap sms and data.

If it's a representative sample, then 1000 is a fine number for a survey. It's surprisingly accurate (statistics)
Of the 1,203 people surveyed, 197 indicated that they have a secondary account (around 16%).
Like its been said elsewhere in the strain.........
What sort of a representation is 1203???
Wait until just before election date...... then there will be opinion poles from the "big boys" about the outcome. You will be lucky to have 2000 respondentd out of 20 000 000 voters.

Can't believe it isn't CellC. On the data side they are by far the cheapest and my dad get 100 anytime (any network) minutes for R70 p/m.
The ignorant still believes Vodacom have a premium network.
Lol @ Virgin, he ain't getting none :D

I wanna port from voda to cell c.
Since the launch of their data network and improved brand, they are doing well. I would rather support an operator that started bad and improved.
