MTN 5G is here - Prices and coverage

[ghostRgg]

For once Bloem gets something before Durban...be happy for those sad Bloem people for once...they have crappy winters and no ocean compared to Durban, at least now they can can get MTN 5G...

I would be happy for the bloem people, had it not been a ripoff and locked contracts...

Typical MTN pricing. Rains wins once again.

Rain when MTN launched 5G

ask @cavedog

There has been issues but it's been really decent lately

Well clearly this is not for your average South African.

This is meh. Besides for the pricing night data and contracts are SO last decade.

Yes, many of their 5G towers are congested just like their LTE ones according to the complaints I see. Go look in the RAIN section.

I've been looking at some complaints and it's not congestion. Congestion doesn't disappear when you go closer to a tower or others are working just fine. It's way too early for congestion on 5G anyway. Some people have been really pushing it and even gaming the system when they aren't in proper 5G coverage.

It doesn't make sense to buy the unlimited option even with the device. You can buy the device at R2499 which over a 36 month period will cost you R69.44 per month. By taking a 200gb package and then buying the modem you will save R2900 over the 36 month period or R1100 over 24 months.

lol, rain is practically unusable for most people due to congested towers.

Thank goodness I have never had a problem with congestion on Rain
