Great that they show us what they are capable of, but the important thing is when they are going to implement LTE.
They are a few years behind the other networks, and the best they can do at the moment is H+ on their network.

They have launched LTE. But small footprint

The Cape Town roll-out is supposed to be at the end of this month but I've already been getting LTE in certain areas. When I asked a CEllC rep about about it, they confirmed that they were busy testing.

Getting +- 16Mbps download with 2 bar LTE coverage in Western Cape northern suburbs.

I get HSPA+ best in a LTE area, maybe I should check my phone's band.

But what about call quality?

Will need to reduce prices to make use of it. Can just imagine: "Honey, didn't you load that 100MB data bundle 10 seconds ago?"

Impressive. So the government is in the way of this with the Spectrum issues....

 

[Piet Le Roux]

In Pinetown you get a steady 18 Mbps ....a little bit faster than HSDPA+ !

Can you host a server using LTE-A and if not, why?

If there's open ports then with dynamic dns yes.
