The last time we had inside information we were told that 20 gig vodacom special will run again in December. I hope it is not the same birdie this time.
Hope there will be lots of improvements in 6.1

All I care about is that they fix the WiFi stability issues. Not really interested in LTE... My speeds on HSPA+ are above Vodacom's suggested LTE average at present.

cellc doesnt need this. mtn customers who are stuck on edge all the time needs this. but probably wont have coverage again.

It will definately include Cell C. They run their LTE on a different spectrum though. They are already flying at HSPA+ so I can just imagine what this will be like.

I am interested in LTE AND I want my wifi stability issue fixed! All my other iOS devices work perfectly on home wifi but iPhone 5 is very sporadic and sometimes won't even connect. Extremely annoying to say the least. Hope version 6.1 fixes it.

I tried that a 100 times and everyone else I saw on Google but the problem persists. My hopes are now set on iOS 6.1.

I can confirm that there is still no LTE support for iPhone 5 with ios 6.1.
I am running iOS 6.1 beta 5, which is actually now the public release. No LTE support as far as I can see.
Edit: It seems that only Vodacom has been added. See www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
