Cell C's broadband conundrum

Cell C's apparant lack of a comprehensive mobile broadband strategy may not bode well for the cellular provider

Well my contract expires with CellC in 3 months and I am moving to MTN or Vodacom. I need the 3G connectivity

cell C has been chasing me to sign a voice contract - seems they have inside info from Vodacom as they know exactly what my mobile spending is. However, I will use smoke signals before I use them

Maybe cellc should just be cheaper per MB and let vodacom take the speed

Cell C are in a better position to harness the lower-income and rural markets - they must just learn how to tap into it with affordability at the core and they can over-take VC in next to no time.

Why the hell should lower income users have to tolerate anything less than 3G speeds? Why should ANYONE have to tolerate this?

Virgin does that pretty well. But there are many people out there that loves paying R2 per MB because vodacom data is like driving a Porsche

 

[Netguy]

Trust CellC soon gets a visionary on board who will succeed in giving them the BB direction required

What if they give uncapped for web browsing only and not downloading like openbrowes. Do it cheap for people only needing emails and web surfing from their phones or phone+laptop.
