Hi all, looking for the best deal on 20GB or higher bundles at a good price. Currently Telkom Mobile seems the best bet with 10gb+10gb for R499 but just looking in case there's another deal I'm not spotting somewhere (I'm assuming the 20gb doesn't have extra night data). Don't want contract as I'm waiting on ADSL or Fibre

The Telkom LTE / LTE-A bundles
10g + 10g R249
20g + 20g R349
4 more ...
200g + 200g R1049 biggest bundle
 
Buy a LTE Huawei B315 router off Gumtree and get a prepaid LTE SIM from Telkom shop.

No contracts, just buy data when you need it. Use the 20+20 Gb for day to day stuff (R349)and the 500Gb for after hours stuff (R50).

20Gb per month for the day to day stuff and 500Gb bolt-on cost per month is R 400.00 total
 
Cell-C have large prepaid data bundles that are valid for 365 days.
e.g. 100GB R1599, R200GB R1999

Does anyone know if the b315 router works with the other providers like cell c, mtn, Vodacom or rain?

I've seen the 500GB bolt-on mentioned before but can't find anything like that on the telkom site. Also will these packages work on a smartphone or only on the newer modems?

I checked with them today. They said they only have 50gb for R1599? Do you have a link to the price?

So I got myself a sim, switched tariff mode, loaded up R400 airtime, "service not available" when I try to buy LTE bundles...

AFAIK you can only purchase the 365 days bundles in a Cell-C store.
 
Sorry that was on telkom mobile. Eventually managed to buy and now I get 1% of the speed I had before midnight. Fresh speed test 11pm - 20.8Mb/s; speed test now - 0.19Mb/s. Not much point in 500GB Nightsurfer if you're throttled so hard you'll never use 20GB

0.19Mb/s is bad. You should at least get 10Mb/s.
