So I received this below letter from Telkom, they are now going to cancel their WIMAX solutions because it is old technology... this made me laugh so much, but i also feel a bit sad for those who still use the service.

Wimax is just as old as 3G, and the technology allows for even faster speeds at a more stable rate than 3G, it is almost considered 4G. Unfortunately Telkom limits their Wimax to 512kb/s, where the technology upgrade in 2011 allows Wimax to go up to 1Gb/s.

I am so lucky that they decided to do this now and not before, because in less than a month I will be in Sweden living the rest of my life with No more hellkom. I already have a 40meg line installed for the time being at a fraction of the price telkom offers my 512kb/s line.
if you are a gamer and care about a stable connection, then WIMAX>3G hands down. iI you are the casual internet user do not fray, the 3G will improve your internet for you. If you are a heavy downloader.. to bad, you are gonna pay for capped accounts now and it is going to be more expensive for you.
I hope the telecommunication in this country get's sorted out for the sake of the people, but this is not gonna happen in a long long long time if ever in my life time.
