I am from the U.S. and will be living in Camps Bay in Cape Town for 3 months (Aug-Oct). I have been unable to get a straight answer from Sentech (or IBurst) as to when wireless will be available in Camps Bay.

Does anyone have any general information for me to consider? I would LOVE to have an internet connection in my apartment while I am there, but I am starting to doubt that it is possible...

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

i think your best bet would be vodacom 3G, but it's not that great either, especially b/c of the one gig limit.
 
dbillmark,
EDGE technology is another option that is available (from MTN).
 
I cant believe theres no wireless access in camps bay.. theres thousands of loaded ppl living there!!
 
dbillmark, got your PM, thanks.

3G should work fine for you in the area. Can you PM me a physical address to double check 3G coverage? Or maybe a Vodacom GSM cell-id?

For three months starting in Aug, you'll have a couple of choices.

1) Pre-paid data bundles should be available round that time. Failing that,
2) Normal pre-paid will work @ R2/Mb.
3) I also know there are some companies in Cape Town renting short term data contracts to the movie industry. Maybe this can work for you?

Let me know if I can help any other way.
