Moving to an area without Adsl service : Alternative options ?

[Midnight_choir_drunk]

Good morning. So I am moving to a new place where I can not port my Telkom adsl line. Nor do I fall in the parameters of the Telkom unlimited wireless offer. I used to have a 10gb (20gb) data package with Afrihost but I'm wondering with there are better value options out there. The minimum data I can live with is 20gb per month but ideally it would be 50gb plus.

Any suggestions of providers I could consider ?

Thanks in advance.

iBurst?

Ok, you fall outside of the Telkom Unlimited coverage, but do you fall within the normal LTE coverage? They sell a 50Gb+50Gb package for R699, which is pretty good value for money.

Vodacom, Cell C, MTN or iBurst - and, yes, you will need to pay their fees. It will cost you quite a bit of money, but nothing you can do about it.

Telkom has started the past 6 years in cancelling landlines and ADSL in many, many neighbourhoods across the country. Landlines and ADSL is no longer available in new areas. They only offer wireless access via 8ta in areas where it is available.

So, next time you, or anyone moving, before buying or renting, make sure the area you move to still has Landlines and ADSL, or at least 8ta wireless. The value of properties in areas without it has started dropping significantly over the past year. Buying a property in these areas today will be a bad investment. In about 5 years from now, you will experience at least a 20% drop in value of the property.

Your last alternative will be to live without Internet access.

which area you moving to

because any other advice would just be speculation. it's like asking us what the weather would be like and what to pack but not telling us where you going.

That is a good deal. I will have to check to see what the coverage is like. I would like to be able to do some gaming at least as well.
