Surprisingly enough, I do. No Rain coverage though.

It would be nice if telkom came to the party too and offered something a little more competitive than these offers starting from 10 gigs onwards on their LTE network which has more capacity.

We wont get anything from Emptyn or Vodacon so i rather not even request it.
 
I wonder if you can roam on vodacom using this cell c sim. Does anybody know if cell c has a 4g roaming agreement with vodacom?
 
Rain package from Axxess is not LTE but LTE-A, which is nicer except for the fact that the free delivery takes ages.

Cell C LTE is limited to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban (I am not sure if Richards Bay has). Vodacom, MTN, Telkom Mobile and Rain have LTE where I am at, and this is the Eastern Cape.

Its 2018 and Cell C still hasn't rolled out LTE to other towns.

Cell-C also has some fixed lte products:

Can't find anything on MTN or FNB that compares to Cell-C, RAIN, Telkom, VodaCom.

According to the coverage map, it looks like they have fixed LTE in Richards Bay now, but the coverage is crap. Looks like they only placed one tower to cover the golf estate. Looks like only about 30% of the town is covered.

Because we are much more interested in paying more while being locked into contracts...

There are a couple of LTE sites now in Richards Bay. Waterfront next to the green tower on the building roof, CBD old ABSA bulding roof, Across the road at Foskor, Birdswood tower, Meerensee and maybe one or two more.

All band 3 LTE only no LTE-A. Speeds are averaging at around 40-50Mbps give or take but since it's band 3 all the mobile users will also use it might get slow.
 
Yip telkom mobile has the 200gb+200gb prepaid at R1049 but only valid for 31 DAYS. Thats the problem right there.
 
Poor me.
No CellC LTE coverage in my town and I only live 400-500 meters away from Rain covered area.

Is it compulsory for CellC/Axxes deal to be used only on LTE covered area and not on3G unlike Rain?

Bloem also finally got LTE at the end of 2017. No LTE-A though.

Should work on 3g also.
 
Would love to take CellC up on their offer but :

1. More often than not their basestation is not working properly.
2. Out of Bundle?
3. Telkom beat them to the pip with coverage, speed AND pricing (currently on 10+10 for R299 SIM-only, can upgrade to 20+20 with LTE router for R299).
