MTN 5G is here - Prices and coverage

MTN has launched its new 5G service in Gauteng, Western Cape, and Free State with data plans from 75GB to 500GB.

The service is offered in two variants - 5G home Wi-Fi and 5G mobile.

A fair usage policy of 200GB per month applies to the MTN Unlimited 5G packages, and the launch promotion pricing is only valid until 31 July 2020.

Thats useless.

The area in cpt that it covers has fibre anyway.

They can take their contracts and shove them where the sun don't shine.

-None in Durban, but Free State gets.
-Low cap numbers on data with 100 to 500 GB makes no sense
-smallest coverage in that area
-contract based
-uncapped has FUP...

Yeah this is even worse than my expectations, and they were low. I still think mtn has one of the best networks though.

"MTN 5G is here - and why you should Avoid it" would have been more contextual.

 

[Kaysway]

Typical MTN pricing. Rains wins once again.

Am happy MTN has coverage in Bloem it shows MTN is committed to cover limited areas in all 9 province's in near future, unlike Vodacom who will prioritize Metropolitan cities like Johannesburg, Tshwane, Cape Town and Durban only for next 3 years.
MTN pricing is still too much but least they tried to be competitive with Rain and Vodacom 5G offers especially the fact that MTN chose to have unlimited/uncapped plan which is not really uncapped
But it showcase MTN is committed to be competitive
I think MTN will use coverage rapidly roll out plan to have more 5G subscribers than Rain and Vodacom

You can get 20-50Mb uncapped from most of the areas covered by 5G for R900.

[ReeceDBN031]

DAMN... and here was i hoping they would be the smart ones.. here in durban we say " cake laaities"

It is cheaper to take the 200Gb+200Gb package than the "Unlimited", which has a 200Gb pm FUP. Even the 300Gb+300Gb is cheaper.

 

[MRTOM]

EmptyN.....

 

[Yuu]

It is cheaper to take the 200Gb+200Gb package than the "Unlimited", which has a 200Gb pm FUP. Even the 300Gb+300Gb is cheaper.

The uncapped plans includes the 5G device.

 

[NeonNinja]

After 200GB FUP on the uncapped how does the throttling go?

 

[Dretastic06]

After 200GB FUP on the uncapped how does the throttling go?

[wingnut771]

After 200GB FUP on the uncapped how does the throttling go?

yeah, no mention of that very important relevant point. great journalism.

 

[Botha22]

Keep it you naaiers.

That is quite a strong reaction to something that you are not forced to sign up for!

 

[nomadmp]

These 36 months contracts nowadays. How do you only get a sim at that prices, meaning you have to buy a router or have a 5G capable cellphone. Clearly not for the general population.
