Cape Town mobile data speeds tested

We tested South Africa's four mobile networks in Cape Town - here are the results.

No idea MTN was the leader in Cape Town

Jeez, nice job MyBB! A large sample set, must have taken some time to do. A few places I can't figure out where it is, e.g. "Main". I don't see Melkbos, the closest is Big Bay or did I miss it?

When ever I test MTN never go above 6mbps, even in different devices.

Hi, I'm going to have to disagree with your findings. In my area, Goodwood, as well as in the greater Cape Townarea including the CBD none of my results have ever been as low as your best result for Vodacom.
I'm not sure if thats due to my use of higher end devices, but i can confidently say both up/down speeds as well as latency are on avg 13/35 mbps and 25ms respectively.

Thanks though for the info, most helpful in relation to the other networks.

My result, near Bayside, Table View.

3/5 bars LTE. It's about the same as CellC, but the ping is a lot better.
I think Vodacom here is about 7Mbps but higher ping.
