FNB CEO Jacques Celliers said their pilot to test uncapped broadband over iBurst\u2019s LTE network is going well.<\/p>\n
Celliers did not\u00a0reveal how many FNB Connect subscribers were on the trial, saying it was a \u201chandful\u201d.<\/p>\n
The uncapped LTE pilot has been running since December, offering select\u00a0FNB Connect subscribers a chance to test the service for free.<\/p>\n
It launched after\u00a0Multisource acquired Wireless Business Solutions<\/a><\/strong>, the parent of iBurst, at the start of November.\u00a0The trial\u00a0was initially set to finish at the end of February 2016.<\/p>\n FNB extended the trial twice<\/strong><\/a>, with the latest extension ending on 30 June. The bank said this is the last time it will be extended.<\/p>\n Celliers said there was confusion surrounding the bank’s use of two network providers and their respective LTE networks. FNB offers all its Connect clients LTE access via Cell C.<\/p>\n However, it is still \u201cearly days\u201d and the uncapped fixed-wireless iBurst service has not been launched commercially.<\/p>\n Celliers declined to comment on whether they will launch a commercial uncapped LTE service in the future.<\/p>\n Good news for FNB Connect uncapped LTE trial subscribers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This is the network powering FNB\u2019s uncapped LTE trial<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n FNB testing uncapped LTE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n iBurst to roll out LTE-Advanced network<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nTwo LTE networks<\/h3>\n
