    Scrapping of Rain's uncapped 4G plans appears to have had little impact on its mobile speeds

    I think it was Vodacom's way to justify their prices 🤷🏽‍♂️. "Hey Mr Joosub, why don't you be like Rain & give us cheaper bundles? " Joosub: " With that business model, they will soon fall I tell you" 🙂

    Scrapping of Rain's uncapped 4G plans appears to have had little impact on its mobile speeds

    Their 4G unlimited LTE was broken. Remember when Shameel Joosub warned Rain that they will soon run into network constraints. Since it was great value, customers quickly got Rain SIMs & so did their friends. But then there were way more people than the Airwaves could handle. That's why most...

    Home Affairs crackdown - fires 18 officials for fraud, corruption, and other offences

    Once arrests start happening, the corrupt ones will think twice before they play with the HA system. It will also make new recruits very aware of the consequences. The reason it has gone on for so long is because there were no consequences to the crimes. Now that there are, watch the spaces.

    Home Affairs Minister says proposed "premium" service not about fast-tracking documents

    Maybe the cost is for the delivery fee 🤷🏽‍♂️. Like how MrD does it.

    PS5 Pro price vs a gaming PC with similar performance

    I mean if they're willing to pay R17k for it, what's stopping them from forking out an extra R1.5k 😁. More money for us. I'm sure that's the thought process

    Schreiber reveals a third of Home Affairs offices can't issue Smart IDs

    You just reminded me of the reality show "Million Dollar Baby" , where a Geordie Shore type celeb tries to get a million pounds for her baby so they are set for life. I Remember the photo shoots and ads she would always chase. There was about a £1000 in the first week. It's funny how this...

    Schreiber reveals a third of Home Affairs offices can't issue Smart IDs

    Well, with just a few clicks and the green book vanishes from the system - thus rendering it useless to any potential fraudsters. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    MTN boasts fastest mobile speed recorded in South Africa

    Yep the 1Gb/s is impressive. The engineers will always tinker around improving already great products. Sports cars keep getting meaner 😁. Heck even Colgate & Sunlight keep coming up with a "New & Improved" formula every month. 🤣

    MTN boasts fastest mobile speed recorded in South Africa

    Those are fantastic speeds and all. However you don't use your mobile phone to download large files while on the go (or at all). Most likely you do that when you are in one place, probably on WiFi (fibre). Great speeds, but noone is crying for faster mobile connection, or it's just me...

    Vodacom/Vumatel deal and Starlink stall - how South Africa kills progress

    There's always the argument that it's either good for business & bad for the consumer. I think since the authorities can't regulate the prices directly, they stop the bleeding from the top. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.

    Vodacom/Vumatel deal and Starlink stall - how South Africa kills progress

    The Voda-Vuma deal got rejected. Other Networks saw it get rejected. No one wants to invest as they will get rejected. The deal might be for growth in rural Gauteng, yes. With mergers getting approved, other Networks can seek growth in other rural parts of the country with their own mergers...

    Rain has lost its value proposition in the mobile market

    I think it depends where. Friend of mine had it for about 3years now. Xbox connected along with 5 devices either streaming or downloading. And he lives in PTA central. I've never seen a buffer.
