Unlocked the 5G connection today

[SeaSickMama]

The only real issue I can see with 5G is Rain is stingy they don't have backup generators so extended power outages means extended 5G outages. Very unfortunate compared to Openserve fibre in my area with battery and generator backups....

Go look at your WhatsApp I sent you a sheet that shows all the approved devices for this year a few 5G things in there

Yeah they not big enough to roll out such and also they don’t have any crazy SLA agreements with anyone for no power. I know in the middle of Sandton at the HSBC building my brother says If there is loadshedding then rain is offline.

So my tower is back. Finally after 5 days from the last outage which lasted 4 days prior. Speeds are back signal is good BUT I hear a lot of thunder outside so I'm pretty sure mother nature is not happy I got my 5G back she is sending the angry clouds to come and take it down again

Yes tonight midnight. Free CPE no once of fee and still R1000 monthly unlimited


My tower was struct by lighting. No power at the tower so Vodacom and MTN made a plan with generators. Rain did not so I'm guessing they are charging the batteries or what and then let them deplete or what I'm not sure but before it was perfect.

Facebook. Ad just says 5G so fast blah blah R1000 uncapped 5G * 5G cpe included

 

[chakniks]

It would be a very nice deal for those in 5G areas.

I hope the Mother City gets 5G early 2020.

Pretty pissed off that I paid R3500 literally two weeks ago

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Will try and order today, hopefully some towers in cpt have 5g.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Hmm its 24 month contract now

 

[NeonNinja]

also think they optimizing things for black friday as they expecting a lot of sign ups, I said it again if they can settle on 200mbs peak speeds it would be amazing

Don't think many will be keen on signing a 2 year contract...

Would you have rather sign a 2 year deal then?

If that's the catch then I'll pass thank you very much.

Do you guys think that if the signal/download speed isn't good enough they will refund the R1000?

Mine wasn't good enough and they supplied Outdoor unit. Although not sure how many of these units they have left. Needs to be special case I'm told. They are hellish expense I have been told.
