Arrived home this afternoon in Tarlton - about 10km outside Krugersdorp on a small holding - only to find my ADSL not working.

I decided to use my 8ta evaluation router and 8ta sim and was totally surprised - I have LTE reception inside my house. The reception is not good and the router indicate a signal strength of -113db.

The following speedtest results were achieved with LTE only enabled:
Download Speed: 2448 kbps (306 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 638 kbps (79.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 75 ms

Not as great as in Woodmead or Parktown but download about the same as my ADSL (when it works) and upload faster than my ADSL. Now 8ta, please assist me with affordable bundles and I will install an external arial to improve reception and use LTE on my "farm".

I just checked the reception map and on the reception map the closest area with LTE is indicated more than 15km from my house.

I think LTE commercial launch will surprise many people with the wide coverage that 8ta will provide.
