MTN LTE launched commercially

That is great news. Just need to drop their prices in bandwidth so we can take advantage of this.
 
With this launch, MTN is offering the LTE Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9” on a MTN 2GB TopUp contract for R799.00 per month :sick: , over 12 months.

“Our 2020 Broadband for all vision :eek: includes the provision up to 100Mbps to consumers in urban areas. MTN’s commercialisation of the technology is a quantum leap towards realising this vision,” said Lambotharan.

These two statements do not make sense to me at all. :confused:

There only thing I like about these LTE sites is that their need fibre backhaul to the tower, in a way that will help even 3G, because these cell phone companies will be forced to build fibre at a rapid race, so the winner is not on people with LTE but normal 3G/HPSA
 
I phoned MTN now they are ****ing useless i tell them to provision my simcard for LTE, they tell me they cant that i need to get the galaxy tab bundle for it, even thou i have an LTE enabled device.

lol, thats just daft.
 
LTE is still limited by teh cost of bandwidth. Once these apitalist pigs decide to reduce rates on communications we casn take advantage, its like having a Ford Mustang and the petrol price is unaffordable. Hopefully it spurs these guys into reducing data rates, call rates and sms rates.

SNIP
This broadband evolution offers broadband speeds of up to 70mbps and consumers can expect speeds of between 7 and 20 Mbps on average, dependent on network conditions

I hope it's above 7-20Mbps - HSPA+ gives 8-15Mbps.

At 70Mbps, 2GB will be used up in less than 4min
At 20Mbps, 2GB will be used up in less than 14min

At R2.00/MB OOB, an additional 2GB will only cost R4,096.00

Yip. When I'm at my local gym in Houghton I usually connect to their s hitty wifi network, 3G is flaky at best and most of the time I'm stuck on edge. A couple of weeks ago their internet was buggered so I connected to 3G and it felt abnormally responsive. At best I would get around 1mb-2mb on my 4s, but intrigued, I did a speedtest and this was the result.

MTN wake up

FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Who the Fcku can afford these ANC idiots these days. MTN = ANC

Swear me... whatever. I am entitled to my opinion. They steal honest hard working South African subscribers money and plough it out of this country into forbidden areas, ask the UN, they'll tell you.

You guys are only funding just "no goods" in society.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Their data is MAHALA...lmfao
