I would be all over this if MTN was usable in my area.
Remember Telkom also used to have no FUP on their original uncapped LTE.
Nah, maybe a slight restriction but definitely not rain 2.0, you can't even begin to compare their infrastructure, rain prioritises Vodacom instead of their own customers, and this deal is not available forever and will only last for 24 months compared to rain and Telkom's constant offering, finally the ICASA spectrum auction is going to ease this strain and even provide cheaper rates on existing packages.
It's not like RAIN. It's not R250. It's R999. And MTN’s infrastructure is decades ahead.Darn, so according to this - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/industrynews/384508-excellent-news-about-r199-fixed-lte-service.html - the deals were made into permanent products, that doesn't bode well with me entirely since I was more at ease with the fact that oversubscribing might not have been a issue given the limited sign up time, but oh well. I think they're preparing for the spectrum auction levering that load and keeping us at the fixed price while future subscribers might get better deals
Telkom said the same thing years ago with their original uncapped and now it has a 300GB FUP
Yeah, and also correct me if I'm wrong, but the Telkom deals didn't have an expiry so to speak, one just mustn't cancel their contract to keep it, then eventually the turmoil started.Telkom said the same thing years ago with their original uncapped and now it has a 300GB FUP
Even if MTN's infrastructure is years ahead you will probably always end up one of two ways, FUP or Rain. Someone in your neighbourhood is going to grab this deal and flatline it. It's what hogs did originally on Telkom.
Then get fibre.Telkom said the same thing years ago with their original uncapped and now it has a 300GB FUP

Oh how I wish this could be an alternative for everyone in SA
Exactly. What options does he have?
Cool, lay me fibre in the neighbourhood. I'll pm you my address.
LTE... Also, everyone in this neighbourhood is on LTE or Fixed Wireless. Oopsie, what happens when the entire neighbourhood goes for this with no FUP...
That's my point. Instead of complaining. He must get the next best thing.
yeah that's one thing I'm worried about, from my readings here on the official support threads, fibre seems to have a nasty habit of being down a lot and causing wierd problems, especially on Octotel and Frogfoot. LTE on the other hand, for me at least who has only been on ADSL beforehand with numerous outages, has never gone down once on its own accord, and is usually stemming from unrelated technical issues.
