Be aware: CellC Fixed LTE special

[nicroets]

They are running a special that expires today. Approximately R400/100GB.

So I rushed out and signed the contract assuming will work with my B593-s601 which worked so well with their R500/50GB and R2000/200GB deals for many years.

But it doesn't. It works on my P9 Lite, but that's not ideal.

That it may be necessary to fork out a grand or two on a new router because of unforeseen compatibility problems.

Yes, I have coverage, but I'm close to the edge.

If the B593s-601 is compatible, then I should try a few different windows.

 

[nicroets]

Ok. It's working on my B593.

They are running a special that expires today. Approximately R400/100GB.

Was this deal 100GB of anytime data at R400 per month for 24 months

 

[nicroets]

Yes. 100+100 GB for R389/month to be exact.

How are Cell C going to make good on these offers the way they are disbanding their entire company right now?

 

[nicroets]

They need a recapitalization, but the bond holders are sophisticated and know what they're doing.

These contacts may very well be profitable for MTN *after* they are signed. MTN doesn't need to do marketing, customer support etc. MTN may even later decide to shape the cell c traffic a little bit to relieve congestion on its own network.

I don't care too much. As long as I can stream 7 GB or so of video per day during the day.
