Hi Guys
So I am moving from SA to Namibia and due to the high price of ADSL down there I thought I might give our local 4G a try.
There are two options I can choose from, either a 4G Usb stick or the Huawei B593

At the ISP it is advertised at R3500 which I think is a bit steep.
Can anyone dig up some info for me on this router and its specs and features and most of all if its available here in SA.
Update:
Ok so I found out some things about this router.
Besides the ridiculous price point it lacks Gigabit Ethernet which for 3500 Rand is a bit absurd.
There are a number of different models to match LTE structurers of certain markets.
B593u-12: FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz
Here are a couple of links for those of you interested.
