    Cell C pulls plug on fixed LTE, leaving ISPs, consumers in the lurch

    I have noticed a lot more tiemouts and disconnects with Cell C LTE since the announcement. Netflix and Showmax on average disconnect 3 times during a 2 hour viewing session, where as before I would get disconnected maybe once a month. There is definitely something going on and I can't actually...

    Cell C pulls plug on fixed LTE, leaving ISPs, consumers in the lurch

    LOL Just checked, Axxess offers Telkom Fixed LTE and provides rollover ... which is essential for me due to my Air B&B cottage piggy backing off my internet ... so I will be going to Axxess. Has anyone had any experience with them? I understand there is a 6 month cancellation fee of R999 if you...

    Cell C pulls plug on fixed LTE, leaving ISPs, consumers in the lurch

    Just be careful with Afrihost ... they now tell me they don't do rollover over the LTE data from Telkom ... which as far as I am aware is against the ruling of ICASA. Their excuse is because they don't control the upstream provider and hence can't offer the rollover ... absolute BS. Why are we...

    Cell C pulls plug on fixed LTE, leaving ISPs, consumers in the lurch

    Well that is why I am going through Afrihost ... hence I don't have to deal with Telkom directly. From my initial investigations, it is either CellC or Telkom ... I can't really find anymore alternatives.

    Cell C pulls plug on fixed LTE, leaving ISPs, consumers in the lurch

    I just spoke to MWEB, apparently they are going to ask all Cell-C customers to sign a 24 month contract and move over to Telkom LTE. I have just cancelled all my business with Mweb and will commence the move to Afrihost shortly. Basically you have to give Mweb 30 days notice which means if you...
