Anyone else experiencing slow speeds in the Hartbeespoort area?
I'm getting low 3G speeds (2mbps if I'm lucky) and even worse LTE speeds (1mbps). This is anytime during the day.
The upload speeds seem OK-ish though.
Hi All
Anyone any input as to connectivity type(s) and costs available for a farm outside Stellenbosch?
I believe there are no ADSL available, and was looking into Wireless.
Mobile data signal is very weak and very expensive.
This seems costly, but would I be able to source my own...
How much it costs to upgrade from 3G to 4G in South Africa
Vodacom CEO Shameel Joosub has revealed how much they pay to upgrade towers from 3G to 4G technology.
We are promoting a mobile app on Friday and I was thinking we might do a better job if we can offer those who show up at our stall free internet. In other words, we are looking to place some kind of wireless router, that works with a sim card, that anyone close by can connect to. So far I've...
We decided to start a new thread.
And for our first news post we are glad to announce that we have a new logo design.
We needed a more comfortable logo with strong meaning for our company so we took it to a graphic designer to redo the whole Logo for us.
We are pretty happy with the...
I’d like to warn everyone about Telkom. Taking money from my account which they are not authorised to do so. Didnt take out a device with them!
I have logged a complaint in May already and have been on several calls, chats, with Telkom representatives (many of them). Have logged a few...
Hi,
I recently got a Poynting Airpoynt 3G router with integrated 3g modem.
I have a couple of questions for anyone who uses this product:
Can I get shell access?
My MTN sim work perfectly on a signal of -79, giving me a 3g (umts) connection.
I was hoping to use Cell C, and even...

Hi
I hope you can assist.
We run a self-catering agency in Cape Town and some homes don't have internet.
The best way to provide it is 3g data distributed via WiFi through the house.
This is the ideal modem and I we already have a few but there's no stock of the B68A...
Hi
I have applied for a new contract, and the lady assisting me says I've been approved, I was contract, then pay as you go, now back. Now she is asking for the "engraved" number for the sim card that is engraved on the gold part of the sim.
Is this a legitimate request?
Kind Regards...

The Good
The ASUS DSL-N14U Wireless N300 modem router packs quite a lot of punch at a recommended retail price of R699, and you may find it cheaper by shopping around. What you get for your money are router features usually found on the...
Does anyone use the Vox SIP account package https://www.voxtelecom.co.za/sip-accounts? I get that it's just a SIP account, but they sell it as "mobile SIP" and refer to the "Mobile SIP Client" product which isn't really a thing. After I subscribed, the service was called "VOIP - SIP Voice 1"...

Free router on their capped deal which works out to R1 per GB.
Free router + 3 month free on uncapped ADSL.
Free 3G modems too on 12 month contracts.
A friend recently visited from Finland and told me about a 3 euro bolt on to his contract -
It gives him priority 3G in those instances where the cell tower's throughput (or whatever) is not enough to handle the amount of traffic.
Anything like that offered in SA - either for a consumer...

Hi Forum,
My accusations in this subject line should not be taken lightly. I received a phone call from a Cell C sales person on the fourth of August 2015 regarding my Giga20 data contract. It expired and was due for an upgrade. So this sales person weaved together a nice lie in order to...
Hello MyBroadband World!
I have just purchased a 3G USB dongle from MTN for my sister to use when she is away from home (and uncapped wifi) and I would like to to know how to limit bandwidth use by apps in the background.
Is there an app that can whitelist only certain apps (e.g. Chrome)...
It seems Telkom Mobile is the best? They offer 10GB daytime and 10GB night data for R299/month.
Vodacom's deal comes at around R550. And Afrihost mobile is around R500 or so?
In the wake of Telkom Mobile's *unt move with the prepaid data bundles, I'm happy to provide a simple breakdown of the cost and value of the Cell-C Giga and Telkom ****ty offerings.

Cell-C comes out tops by far. Please feel free to also lambaste Telkom on their...
