Vodacom and Cell C diss Rain over fixed-LTE

Vodacom and Cell C have taken aim at Rain over its decision to halt fixed-LTE product sales from 1 November 2018.

The company recently said the popularity of its mobile products and its strong fixed-LTE sales have put strain on its network, requiring it to manage its network capacity by temporarily halting fixed-LTE sales.

The last thing I will do is to switch to Vodacom, with their OOB Shark.

Still raining heavily at my location.

Vodacom and Rain, which offer their own LTE services, have taken the opportunity to diss Rain for the move – as shown in the tweets below.

That is a bit weird?

They must have allocated mine as an mobile Rain network. The speeds get shaped between 18:00 - 11:00 to 100kbps. But speed test shows 50mbps and over.

I had a friend come over had 120Mbps on a MTN network with he's cellphone. amazing if could have that 24/7.

Rain and Vodacom is the same infrastructure so their diss is a bit...in bad taste.

So you get full speeds between 6 to 11 pm still?I heard many Rain fixed LTE customers complaining about this?

 

[InfidelGastro]

Fixed LTE is of no interest or use to me, I have fast FTTH instead, but Rain's mobile data is. I hope there's no drought forecast on that front.
