MTN Fixed LTE vs MTN LTE - whats the difference?

[InternetSwag]

Hi guys, I was gonna sign up with Axxess Fixed MTN LTE. But when I tried to cancel my fiber with mweb(moving to another house), they tried to retain me by offering me an MTN LTE package, but it's not fixed.

What do you think I should pick?

Vodacom, probably.

With the (MTN) Fixed service you get a router, not just a sim card.

With fixed LTE your router is fixed to one tower, the solution only works with their approved routers and you cant move it around. Normal LTE works with any compatible device and you can move around to different towers

My MTN 3g SIM outperforms Afrihost fixed MTN LTE by far.

I think the data bundles or packages sold directly by MTN have a higher priority than the Fixed LTE services that are resold by ISPs such as Afrihost, WebAfrica, MWeb etc.

From my experience the Fixed LTE products from MTN still outperform the consumer LTE products directly from Telkom etc.

I am under the impression that MWeb offers the same Fixed LTE products as Axxess, Afrihost, WebAfrica etc. They don't offer standard MTN data contracts as far as I am aware, only Fixed LTE products.

Price and Restrictions.

LTE, portable and expensive.

FLTE, fixed to location (and even router) and less expensive.

They do not actually. People might think that but it's because with MTN mobile data or Airmobile data sold by Afrihost it's not device locked so inserting the sim into a phone that can do multiple lte carrier aggregation will likely get faster speeds than the approved router list that Fixed LTE supports. These routers can only do 2 lte carrier aggregation.

That one extra lte carrier that a mobile phone can get mostly Band 8 can give you an extra 20-30Mbps on the download. Band 8 signal also travels much further than the higher band 1 and band 3.

Okay... Thanks.
This is really difficult to choose.
