MTN has the fastest mobile data speeds in Cape Town and surrounding areas, followed closely by Vodacom and Cell C, according to our latest tests.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband conducted speed tests using the MyBroadband Speed Test app for Android<\/strong><\/a> on four Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphones.<\/p>\n

The mobile speed tests – both stationary and driving – were conducted in 131 locations in and around Cape Town between 22-26 July.<\/p>\n

Data roaming was off for the tests, to ensure that the tests reflected the performance of the operators\u2019 individual networks.<\/p>\n

This means Cell C and Telkom’s results are not what a typical user will experience, due to their roaming agreements with other networks.<\/p>\n

The results show that MTN achieved the fastest average download speed, Cell C had the fastest average upload speed, and Vodacom had the lowest average latency.<\/p>\n

The rankings were the same as MyBroadband\u2019s Q2 tests in Cape Town<\/strong><\/a>, but the average speeds of all operators were significantly higher in Q3.<\/p>\n

The graphic below provides an overview of the results.<\/p>\n
