Cell C explains why it is shutting down fixed-LTE

[Thor]

Really my Rain LTE is better than my Helkom ADSL ever was. Just wish they had a reasonable peak time data bundle aswell.

Rain has so little clients.
They won't scale.

Telkom will kill ADSL, and they will put you on their LTE ...

Regardless of whether they call it FLLA or whatever ...

Ja, but what about the towns that have no fibre? The only internet access they have is ADSL and WISP. Not even Telkom LTE coverage in that area. Take Ermelo, for one.

Well, we do not know the ADSL switch off time frame...

R250pm for the unlimited off peak data and then another R450 for like 100GB should do the trick

How many movies can you watch with 100GB of data?

This is also another excellent example of why ADSL is not going anywhere and any blog post from mybroadband stating otherwise is sensationalism at best.

Telkom will not and cannot kill ADSL.

LTE is not and will not be a viable option in South Africa to replace ADSL. SA does not have the consumer economics to fund the infrastructure required.

Quick tell Telkom that before it's too late.

Only streaming movies between 18:00 and 23:00? Well, then download them outside those hours.

I would love if they added an on-peak package, set to 10mbps and uncapped for more then that

How many movies can you watch with 100GB of data?

100GB is enough for me with a ton of youtube, netflix and some gaming thrown in

I am sure you can watch a lot during that time, and when the 100GB is depleted go and play outside for the rest of the month

they could just make it a permanent 10meg line

That could work too I guess

Depends on the resolution you watch at, but 720 you should get around 100 hours of movies ...
