Nee ek het nie kontrak gevat nie, ek dink ons het nie signal hier nie maar hulle site wys wel daar is goeie signal. Eks bly jy het reg gekom maar gaan kyk op Hallo Peter daar is duisende mense wat oor hulle kla. Ek dink hulle moet net eerlik wees en se as daar nie signal is nie dan cancell asb en ons gee jou geld terug? Maar ons almal weet dit sal nooit gebeur nie! Groete
Regarding the Home Connecta Flexi product, most customers usually purchase one of the smallest prepaid bundles like the 4GB for R45 or the 12GB for R89 to test the service first before purchasing something more expensive. I don't get great speeds myself (probably around 5Mbps on average) but up until a week ago the service was relatively cheap and convenient. They have now discontinued all of the larger cost-effective bundles and replaced them with smaller more expensive bundles which has annoyed a lot of their current customers such as myself. If you want to avoid a lengthy contract the 80GB for R189 might still have merits if the download speeds are adequate. You could also try moving the position of your router or putting the SIM card into a different device such as a phone to see if that helps.
I actually bought that exact package 80 GIG for R189, I had great speeds and service for the first 3-4 days and after that it just started slowly getting worse. It cane to a point where I had no service on device and cell said emergency calls only. Customer care said my router settings was faulty, using same router at exactly same place. I tried my friends router and moved it around, sometimes it gets a bit of signal but red light on most of time. So basically I have given up at my house, going out with the router is better but still very poor downloads. Anyway going to move to MWeb using Telkom 80Gig for R199. They have checked my area and it's the best way forward I recon...
I was going to suggest that you visit a Cell C and ask them to test the SIM card as a number of customers were having trouble with faulty SIM cards but you do seem to be able to browse the Internet? My download speeds are not great either but I have been satisfied up until the latest product changes.

If you decide to switch to the MWeb/Telkom Fixed LTE, this thread might be of interest (read comments by BCR). I was under the impression that you could transfer data to other Telkom users but this does not appear to be the case with this product. On most Telkom data products you can transfer up to 10GB per month of data to other Telkom users but this does not appear to be the case with this product unless you purchase an additional package from MWeb.

Telkom Fixed LTE - Works Everywhere!?
I am super impressed with Telkom Fixed LTE (up to now anyways). I used to have fixed LTE with another provider. They were just pathetic. Locked to a single tower and to towers that are not maintained. Eventually switched to Telkom Fixed LTE. Speeds are not always great, but generally I get...
If you are not very familiar with the Home Connecta Flexi products, 5 days before your current bundles expire you need to roll over your remaining anytime and nighttime data balances to extend the bundle for an additional 30 days instead of expiring after just 30 days (*147# -> My Account -> Bundle Rollover) . You must also manually set the out of bundle spend control (*147# -> My Account -> OOB Spend Control) to R0.00 (all settings) as any remaining airtime on the SIM card will be used up in seconds once your bundles are finished (need to do this on both AIO and HCF SIMs)!
