Hello guys,

Sorry if there is already i thread for this but im getting confused, because there is two uncapped wireless telkom packages and i cant find this one

http://www.telkom.co.za/today/unlimited-broadband/

I would like to find out from anyone here who had/has this deal, if its worth it, im currently stuck with 2 meg uncapped ADSL and its giving me grey hairs. My Average usage is between 100 gigs and 200 gigs per month (on adsl) and i would like to know the following

50 gig FUP applies to? Torrents or to everything?
how good is the speeds on this? (i know this is area orientated but on average)
is this really uncapped LTE without any weird strings attached?
How good is this for streaming and gaming? (i dont do torrents but only NZB's 20 gig usage sometimes on NZB's)

any info on this would be apreciated

Regards,
Faziki

http://www.telkom.co.za/today/unlimited-broadband/ Start here, this is where you get your ticket, you can wait for the call which I got a week later or take your ticket to the Telkom store... You need to be in the covered area.

My Average usage is between 100 gigs and 200 gigs per month (on adsl) and i would like to know the following. It is def worth it moved from an 8mb ADSL line. DL'd 7gb in less than 30min on steam yesterday.

50 gig FUP applies to? Torrents or to everything? Just Torrents

how good is the speeds on this? (i know this is area orientated but on average) See speed test: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5091339962
is this really uncapped LTE without any weird strings attached? As far as I can see, as long as you stay away from the torrents:)

How good is this for streaming and gaming? (i dont do torrents but only NZB's 20 gig usage sometimes on NZB's)
I play StarCraft 2 and CS:GO with no issues. Streaming OMW its amazing run Netflix on Full HD and then Youtube always runs on HD with no buffer issues.

any info on this would be apreciated

is this really uncapped LTE without any weird strings attached? I have done over 1tb this month...
How good is this for streaming and gaming? Youtube 4k 60fps no buffer! ,Gaming ping worse than adsl ,LOL eu is 240ms :(

Cool i want to apply but, sucky thing is not even 200 meters away from my house there is coverage.... but my friend that stays with me has a phone contract with telkom and he gets full LTE. is there a difference or can i set my address in the coverage area and tell them to come to my actual address and test it here? i have line of sight with the tower as well and the flat im staying in is against a Mountain and im on the fourth floor...
