Cell C Speed Test Results

[Jola]

wow - that is fast. i'm getting far less speeds in pinetown. does it show 5 bars on your cell c manager jola?

Yes, that was with 5 bars, good reception here.

I've been shooting my mouth off this week regarding Cell C, glad to see that they've vindicated my faith.

Umhlanga 11:25 9 October 2010 with E1820



Must say, I'm impressed. They can call it 4Gs if they want to, it's faster than Sprint 4G in the USA.

Why does the speedtest show < 50km Johannesburg, JHB is further than that?

Impressive speeds though, how about to NY and to Paris?

It looks like they sending data all the way to joburg and back, silly, would be nice if cellc was in the CINX, if only for the latency.

Okay, I'm impressed with local Speed tests.

How about some international Speed tests?

WTH??? :wtf:

I'm sold, the international speeds/latency is good enough for browsing and downloading.

Good stuff Cell C, I await your official JHB release.

Thats a software reporting glitch, that speed is physically not possible on the hardware given

True, you might as well get rid of Telkom and Mweb. You get great results with Cell C.

Great savings coming your way.

That is, of course, assuming that Cell C performance stays good once every man and his dog gets it - we will see !!!

I may just downgrade to Telkom 384kbps/1GB just to keep a backdoor open while using Cell C.
