Sigh. Had a look to see if I'm in the coverage zone - Nope.

I am also not in the coverage area and my uncapped is working brilliantly. Used my cousins address for initial application but during application process gave my actual home address and got the package. I am nearly 8km from the nearest LTE tower and without the external antenna installed I am getting about 16.5Mbps. The router is standing in a window with line of sight to this tower. I will install the external antenna ensuring that no trees are in the line of sight and I am expecting about 30Mbps.
I did ask the social team on the forum for help and they advised that I use a different address to apply. The tower I am connecting to is one of the LTE-A antennas and as I stated I am nearly 8km from the tower but with line of sight and nearly no houses between the tower and my farm. I am also about 300 meter lower than the tower in Krugersdorp.
Same with me. I am not covered as per the coverage map but applied and during signup used my resume home addressaddress. I get good LTE in my house with a LTE mifi so can't wait to get my uncapped LTE going. Speeds would be way better than my 10Mbps adsl line.

OK awesome news..... CourierIT delivered to my house when I was at work and my mother signed for my parcel.... Lol what rica documents the courier driver asked.....lol
Anyways have everything here now. Pretty fast process since I got the call. Next day debit order next working day delivery. Very cool. Hopefully activation will be quicker....
EDIT: OK NVM The simcard is already activated. Popped it into my mifi and it connected to LTE immediately and it's working..... Sweet
PICS!!!!!:
Very low signal with my mifi in doors and on charge so I can't move it. Once the antenna is up it will be wayyyy faster....

And just to put the distance from the tower into perspective here is a picture I screenshot. I'm far from the tower guys but it works and I did get the uncapped bundle. So I suggest you do some testing before giving up or just accepting what the coverage map says.
Green dot is my house I'm using the LTE on now. Red dot is the exact location of the tower and the purple dot is my sisters address I used to signup.
