Thanks.

I also noticed Telkom is selling the E5577 for R599 but couldn't see what frequencies it supports.

I decided to play it safe and I got the TP Link M7200 which supports both frequency bands B3 and B38 that Rain uses.
It's on black friday special for R799 at both IC and Dion Wired.

Have you got a link to the Telkom E5577?

@AirWolf: Doesn't the Telkom E5577 support TDD Band 40 which is their largest and fastest spectrum allocation? There are probably several different versions of the E5577.

Yeah, on the tomahawk. To give me the capability of using a 3950x or whatever is the latest.

Just use the old processor to flash it as it won't start with the 3000 series until it's flashed. The reason I called it beta BIOS is because Ryzen 3 on these boards are still in beta from what I understand. MSI does have production BIOSes but I found that these sometimes take some components back a generation or two from the latest beta. If you want to try out PCI-e 4.0 you'll need to use the beta bios.

Afterwards you'll have the lite version of ClickBIOS as the memory isn't big enough to support the graphics with the new Ryzen code.

I walked into the Telkom Store in Menlyn on Saturday . I asked if they have a mobile router you can buy once off. She said yes and pointed to a poster that said Huawei E5577 LTE MiFi Router. Not sure if she talked Kak but she said it costs R599

I didn't ask until when that price is valid for.

It and the TP Link seem to support the exact same frequencies.

TP-Link M7200
4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B8/B20 (2100/1800/2600/900/800MHz)
TDD-LTE B38/B40/B41 (2600/2300/2500MHz)

Huawei E5577
3G/UMTS Frequencies:900, 2100
4G/LTE Frequencies:1800, 2100, 2300, 2500, 2600

Maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell us if there is a difference between the above

@skimread; Many thanks for the feedback. That looks like a very nice router with an LCD screen etc. I might go round to my local store to have a look as I don't see it listed in any of their online adverts. It's a more sophisticated model than the E5572 and E5573 that I posted.

Huawei E5577 LTE MiFi Router (White)

Not just beautiful inside <br>Elegant design. Flowing curves. Matte materials. Every aesthetic detail compliments an array of built-in innovations. With black or white colour customisation, a double external antenna interface, and a smarter touch screen, you now get it all. <br><br>All the power...

Cash Crusaders had this Flashforge Adventurer 3 3D printer on a Black Friday Special - not sure whether it's reasonable or not but it looks interesting!

Anyone bought a Wootbook?

Most decent price I've seen for the specs compared to anything else however I'm not sure. The gut says "feed me" but the heart says "maybe. can it stand the heat?".

UFD Tech did a number of reviews on them. I'll probably buy one at some point. Really like the customisation angle.
 
Any cheap 40 - 43" TVs available today? Looking at the Hisense N43B6000 43" FHD Smart TV for R4,068 from Loot

How did Wootware think it was a good idea only allowing you to buy 1 fan?

I can't even buy one on special and add another at a non special price :confused:
