Free Netflix streaming on Telkom FreeMe contracts

Boom! Now I can stream music in the car without data cost stress.
Well done, Telkom.
Also, those moaning about contracts, you can actually purchase a SIM-only FreeMe contract on a month-to-month basis, if you don't want to sign a 24-monther.

This is what I will be doing
 
Well if this gives 1080P then well done Telkom - if not - then another missed opportunity ...
Read the article, says 360p. Anything above is your own cost. Remember this includes many music services. Plus 360p on a phone or a tablet is fine. Plus you don't need hi-res for prank videos and many YouTube stuff.
I wonder if the same will be while roaming on the MTN network?
FreeMe works with MTN roaming, yes.
Not for me personally. To encourage others who want to try getting a YT channel going and get a taste even if it is at a lower resolution. :)

I see. I doubt it'll work. I see this as constant downstream data. Not uplink. But then again, interesting question. Would like to know too.
 
This would be an ideal deal ( sticking my neck out here )

For all existing Telkom contract customers on Unlimited Data plan -
- Mifi LTE-A modem
- linked to your unlimited account
-FUP - 500GB (shaping only when 80% reached)
Monthly Fee R299 p/m excluding your current contract

Telkom will then be " KING " and untouchable by any other ISP's :p

More with regard to the specs of the box, than the deal - but on a phone - or tablet - tops.
 
Isn't LIT a reference to drug usage?

/Waits for someone to sue them/take them to court for promoting drug usage.
 
From the description of the box it sounds like it does in fact run Android TV.

If it does Plex properly with surround and 10 bit HEVC I might buy one.

Anyone else having problems with this?

Just purchased a FreeMe 5gb and tried streaming Netflix and DSTV Now.. It's definitely still using normal data.
 
Didn't see the day where i would compliment Telkom twice in one week... I must be dreaming....

Used to do that when I had IDS :-(. They took something great and completely ballsed it. At least Mobile is trying.
