I very seldom use TM's hotspots and when I do, it's only "because I can". I'm not a data hobo but if I was, it might be feasible to go and camp to do a few downloads/updates. Hell knows what people are doing with 10GB per month.

Location: Caltex Ruhama, Roodepoort (Seattle Coffee)
Service type: 10Mbps ADSL
Device: iPhone 5S
WiFi connectivity: Good but only really inside the convenience store

I would be helpful if the Cisco access point reached outside to the car park as well but maybe there are laws regarding radio signals and petrol stations. Who knows...

If more establishments in my area (The Glen) had hotspots would actually go and camp there everyday :p

I refuse to camp at Telkom store

Pretty feasible if someone wants to come and camp here a bit and burn some GBs. Great line speed!

Hi I am Hackson and I am a Data Hobo. I camp for the 10Gb and almost always blow it. I do not camp at a Telkom store however but I always camp at the McD resturant next to campus.
