Recently the cables in my area were stolen and Telkom stated over a voice call that they will no longer replace the cables in my area due to this even though this is the second time within 2 years a cable was stolen. overall Im left without internet. Is there any cheaper alternative for uncapped internet?

My suggestion, get yourself a LTE router and a Rain mobile sim card with the R250 uncapped addon which runs from 11pm to 6pm (19 hours in total). Between 6 and 11 its not in effect so keep that in mind. Just check their coverage map to see if you're covered.
 
I'm deciding on rain, although a major point going against rain is that almost every one in my house works till late and none of us get home till around 5, so effectively rain affords us 1 hour internet use, I'm trying to find something similar to rain for that 6pm to 11pm gap at a similar cost

Ah, understandable.

Doubt you'll find something uncapped wise for that price, unless you look into capped 100GB / 200GB LTE package for those hours.

EDIT: Here's one I found by Googling - https://www.webafrica.co.za/lte/

Check the prices for 100GB and 200GB. I'm pretty sure other users on LTE can share their experiences with their packages and what providers to avoid / use instead :)

Cell C Fixed LTE for capped.

Telkom has 2 uncapped options, one is dependent on whether you have a fixed LTE-A tower near you while the other works on LTE and is not fixed but limited to 10Mbps.
 
So i decided to get the Telkom Fixed Line Look Alike to sort out my landline issues. But will i be able to run my old internet package on it just like a normal Adsl Line? if so How? I had Mweb before and was wondering if its possible to migrate my package over to this FLLA device.
