They typically run on a business grade fibre connection and a service provider will gladly extend that to your house for around R10 000 per month.

ok i know the tower runs on 37.5 megabytes for LTE advanced. i just want a 100 megabits connection and 50 megabits upload 500 GB Cap unshaped no contention

i am very sure that copper has a limit of 5 megabytes per second so they dont run multiple lines of copper to the tower

Yes I realize that, but you also said you are looking " insert specifics". I am therefore replying to your needs as you mentioned, not a general question as to if a tower runs on fiber or not. But if that is the only answer you are looking for, then yes, most of them do as you cant provide that kind of microwave link or LTE speed with a tower running on copper. Even though the tower runs on fibre, does not mean you will be given access to it unless Vodacom is rolling out fibre as a consumer product in your area, therefore I gave you a option of a access technology that would meet, or try and meet your needs as close as possible.

Howzit. Here is a order that I am busy with at the moment for another customer in Johannesburg. The non recurring coloumn is pretty much what you looking at for the install (minus the x 2 R32.00 amounts as that is for two voip lines he is taking with it).

We do not offer non contended, but the contention ratio will be a lot less compared to 4G. I speak under correction, but I believe on Microwave it is 1:10 and fibre is it 1:5 (the BC Wireless Lite Product). You should be getting very close to the speed you requested. If not, then it should be investigated as it then most likely is a issue on the link to the Microwave Hub that you are linking to. I have a client in Nelspruit that runs a mini data centre of his link, and he has no issues.

i have heard people saying Bad things about This wireless Service. its slow. it lags. i've read on MyBroadband the things people say about it. is it suppose to be a more reliable service if LTE is slow??

I used this before, 10mbps, and I had no problems with it, streaming, gaming or downloading. If it wasn't for the price, I would be using this at home.

@Ockie How can I contact you? Unable to PM you. :(

Backbone carrier fiber, it's probably a core route which won't be cut into for client connections.
