Axxess has launched new fixed-LTE packages<\/strong><\/a> which run on Cell C\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

The LTE services are priced to take on Rain\u2019s LTE packages and are resold through ISPs – as Rain’s are.<\/p>\n

Rain and Cell C have have both partnered with Internet Solutions for the distribution of the products to service providers such as Axxess, Afrihost, MWEB, and Webafrica.<\/p>\n

Currently, only Axxess has confirmed it will sell Cell C\u2019s fixed LTE services.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/h3>\n

While the basic prices of Rain\u2019s packages are the same among all ISPs, the providers differentiate themselves by offering promotions and value-added services.<\/p>\n

Afrihost offers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Rain subscribers a free Huawei B315 router, a discount on a Huawei B618 router, or up to three months free if you don\u2019t take a router, for example.<\/p>\n

Vox offers one month free on SIM-only Rain data deals and a discount on Vobi<\/strong><\/a>, its uncapped voice-over-IP product.<\/p>\n

With Cell C\u2019s fixed-LTE services, Axxess is offering free delivery, and your activation month free on SIM-only deals, a free Huawei B315 router, or a discount on the Huawei B618 router.<\/p>\n

The tables below show how the prices of Rain and Cell C fixed-LTE compare. Router and activation promotions are not taken into account.<\/p>\n
