MTN grows broadband capacity

MTN today unveiled their interim financial results for the year ended 30 June 2011, revealing good progress on their fibre networks

I think it is a bit ironic that they release this on the day the data network goes down.

152 mil subscribers....WOW...no wonder they don't really care about the SA market...

 

[surfs-up]

152 million subscribers !!!! That must surely put them as among the largest in the world. With that kind of subscriber base, I would think that they would be leading the pack in bringing affordable data to the population. However, the opposite is true - we see them grudgingly lowering data costs, only after others have made the initiative.
Here in SA, the leader that is showing initiative and providing us, the users, lower data prices is Cell C - and for their courage and commitment to give us affordable data, we need to give them our full support

Rip Off, Indeed !!! So happy that Cell C HSPA is working quite well in this area since recently. Spent almost as much for half a year on a crappy EmptyN Prepaid USB dongle, only with EDGE as I paid for one year on Cell C R1499 promotional 24Gb offer.

MTN South Africa has also embarked on a pilot long term evolution (LTE) network which consists of 100 LTE-capable base stations.

I presume they won't call it a 4G network?
