Cell C in talks regarding 5G activations

Good news for Cell C 5G

Cell C is still in talks with its infrastructure partners Vodacom and MTN regarding a 5G launch, and it says large-scale activations could commence in the second quarter of 2025.

This comes after Cell C chief technology officer Schalk Visser told MyBroadband that the mobile operator was testing 5G with its partners in its lab in August 2024.

Ah back in the day when they did 4g, but it wasn't the real 4g.
Would be nice to have 5g with them

good news and cellC in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Would believe it when they launch. The new ceo may be steering cell C out of trouble waters

How could they go from hero to zero on their Home Connecta Flexi LTE prepaid offerings.

Now they are beggars. Lost track who's network they use for what and who's b#tch they are.

5G is useless if it doesn't come at a better price and entry point.

You're lucky

If I try a 5G router it does indicate 5G however the band that it's connected on is only 4G. However even on 4G, if you get under utilised tower you can get speeds in excess of 300 down and 100 up.
