Vodacom hits 270Mbps with live LTE Advanced (4G) test site

Impressive. At R1/MB out of bundle, you can rack up your bill by R200/s.

EDIT: My bad: Forgot the number is in megabit not megabyte. It's actually only R25/s.

Isn't this LTE-Advanced?

Edit: Should have read the article before I answered.

Hey at least they are over the 4mbps barrier.

Telkom just cannot upgrade their ghetto infrastructure because they need that precious return on investment, so how do the mobile operators do it, I wonder....

Yip... first thing that came to mind was OOB at 221.05 Mbps would surely be some kind of world phenomenon.
 
Can my iPhone 5S hit those speeds?
Why can a Huawei hit 200 and im only hitting 50?
 
So that's what, 25 megabytes per second, or R3000 per minute of OOB...
 
Given that the original specs calls for 1Gbps when stationary, we are getting closer to the target. Nice to see.

Oh. Sorry meneer. :o I went according to this:

THE IPHONE 6 SUPPORTS MORE LTE NETWORKS THAN ANY OTHER PHONE

The iPhone 6 supports LTE advanced, with speeds up to 150Mbps. It covers more than 20 LTE bands, which Apple claims is more than any other smartphone. It also supports next-generation network technologies such as VoLTE and carrier aggregation.
