That's really not bad for 5G, is it consistent?This is a speed test run a area with Telkom 5G on the 2TB sim.

Apparently not...The 2TB sim isn't hard locked to LTE-A??
R749How much is this deal currently and is it still available?
I'm currently on Telkom's 2TB LTE package. Do I need to cancel this in order to move to their 2TB 5G package if I have coverage?How???
Telkom 2TB is R699 and up to 2TB of data. Even works on 5G now if you have coverage.
Never used all the data once since I have the thing.
Only sad part is you can no longer have it as a MultiSIM.
(Yes some of us have it as a MultiSIM)
Holy hell, first speedtest. I thought it would be capped at 50Mbps:

I've never had speeds anywhere close to these ever. My previous best speeds with Vodacom/Telkom were not even a 10th of these.
Not sure where/how to check how close I am to the 450GB FUP though. Can't see anything in the coolzone client area (website).
Bliksem, @Forum Reader ! This is FAST!
Just to confirm, this is Vodacom 5G from Cool Ideas, correct?
Thanks, @Forum Reader. I'm seriously considering getting a Cool Ideas 5G Vodacom package and cancelling my Telkom 2TB.Yep. I'm on the 50Mb/s package. They said they will cap it at some point. Not sure when. I've had those speeds for 3 months now.

Please confirm, does any unused data on your Vodacom 5G package roll over to the next month?

I don't know if there is a cap currently. Technically I should be capped at 450GB and then be throttled to 1Mb/s. But I don't think they have enabled these limits yet. I also don't think I have used over 450GB per month so I can't say for sure:

Really hoping that they don't introduce the speed and bandwidth caps on the early adopters accounts until after the World Cup Soccer. I was hoping to stream most of the games at 1080p but this uses between 1.5 and 3GB per hour and SABC+ will be showing 34 matches. Thankfully the matches are split over two months but I think it will be relatively easy to use 200GB+.I signed up last week and my package is capped. 50mb package only gets 48mb down and 23 up

Did they confirm this?

Are you planning on staying with Afrihost if your original account is still active?
What do you mean by this ? Cause the package sold is a 50mb package but the earlier accounts haven't been speed restricted but mine is, I also haven't asked Cool Ideas yet
Are you on Vodacom or MTN?
