Hi

I have the 10gb contract. But unfortunately 8ta doesnt seem to have stock of the 7.2mbps modem
Which other modems work with a 8ta sim? Where can I buy it from? How much?
Can I buy 8ta modems from anywhere else other than 8ta?
 
Look out for the Onyx 3G HSPA Wireless Modem with the Qualcomm chipset. In Cape Town they retail for about R400 bucks.
 
It will work with 8ta. Frequency details as follows:
HSUPA/HSDPA/UMTS: 2100 MHz
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 900: 1800MHz
Speed: 7.2Mbs

Don't know where you could get it in JHB.

Might be a drive but I bought an 8ta 7.2 modem on Saturday at Wonderpark. Maybe you can phone them and ask them if they have stock?

I got a 21.1mbps today at Clearwater.
 
if you get the 21mbps modem do you actually get those speeds, or will you still be getting the same 1mbps or whatever regardless of which modem you purchase?

Quick question - I hve the vodafone k3565z zte dongle - will it work on the 8ta network

Pretty much the same speeds with all modems, although the newer ones are a bit more efficient, so a small gain (emphasis on small).

I've tested a 7.2, 21 and 42 mbps side by side, quite similar performance.
