Mobile network speed changes in South Africa

MyBroadband Insights’ Q3 2020 Mobile Network Quality Report showed that MTN offers the fastest mobile speeds in South Africa, while Rain’s speeds are the lowest.

The report is based on 334,257 speed tests which were performed by thousands of MyBroadband Speed Test App users across South Africa between 1 July and 30 September 2020.

Rain CEO is singing an old song. Make a difference or make way for someone who can.

As explained in the last thread, if I'm to believe the claim that the majority of users are on the 24/7 package, then the correlation and average speeds of 10mbps makes sense since this year as it's impossible to climb that average and the comparison wouldn't make sense in this manner. One thing that still holds true however is that the speeds have declined since 2018 because of the current situation, but I digress.

You can't compare speeds of capped networks to uncapped networks.
Basically, why would I want faster speeds if it just means my data bundle will deplete faster.

If I can do 150gb in a month for R250 (rain) why do I want to do 150gb in a week for R5,000 (Vodacom)
