Wireless internet in Pretoria East

[TurkeyMan]

Hi everyone

I recently moved to a new place in Pretoria East. The complex that I'm in (I'm in Equestria) doesn't have a Telkom line so I cannot get ADSL. I have looked around for some wireless internet companies and found quite a few but I was hoping that anyone on these forums could give me some advice on which companies offer the best package etc. From what I can tell Megasurf seems to be the cheapest, I just don't know what their coverage is like.

Any advice on your experiences with wireless internet companies in Pretoria East would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Fill this out http://www.wapa.org.za/coverage/request/ and it will give you all the wisps in your area.

If you can rather go Telkom Uncapped LTE https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/futurehood/lte/.

Whatever you do, do not go for Amobia they are the Openweb of Wisps.

First time someone has recommended Telkom for anything haha. Thanks it seems my area is covered so I'll check it out. I filled out the form too so let's see what happens. Thanks Scary_Turtle much appreciated.

The Telkom LTE works really well in the day, speeds of about 40-80mbps, but between 8pm and 10pm it falls to about 3-4mbps. Just beware of this before making a decision. I am also in Equestria, and during the day it is superfast. So for me I just do most of my downloads either during the day or after midnight.

Thanks Skimmie, to be honest I'm not too bothered about super high speeds I use it mainly for casual gaming and working on academics so even 3-4mbps sounds fine to me. Thanks for the reply.
