MultiChoice launches DStv Internet with MTN

[ToxicBunny]

It's just fixed LTE, as offered by other ISPs, except through DStv.. Seemingly only compatible with the DStv branded ZTE routers..

I would actually hazard a guess its compatible with most fixed LTE solutions, just DSTV want you to buy their branded one.

MultiChoice has sent through the correct link. We've updated the article and added prices from the website.

Why do I have to do this proof reading for you..?

As a journalist, it's your journalistic duty to ensure any resources you are linking to is accurate, surely..?

Even if that means clicking on a link and spending two minutes verifying that it actually references the contents of the article..

Bwahahahaha!!! No thanks can get 1TB with Cell C for just R100 more. No brainer.

We do anyway, but nice to know they can't even do a basic press launch properly

Never been so confused, can someone explain to me in simple english what product is being sold here?

Looks like DStv just became a pseudo-MVNO offering fixed wireless internet packages.

And worse, with MTN, so along with the mono choice adverts you are going to get constant spam massages from MTN that you can't switch off and if you do manage to do so they start sending sim messages and a week later just continue sending spam sms's

Didn't DSTV offer internet access via the their satellite service back in the day?

I distinctly remember it was some sort of add-on..

I don't remember that ever being a thing, but that sounds super interesting.
Can you find any official mention of that? I can't seem to.

It was a 56k dial-up modem that included a transparent blue infrared keyboard to read and send TV-mail.

Wonder if it would technically be possible for MTN to release a router locked to DStv Now with uncapped viewing?

MultiChoice is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets it's last hour upon stage until he is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
