I signed up for the MWEB wimax trials a couple of weeks ago, and the guys came around to install today. Seems like I'm not in the right area though, as they could only get a maximum of 2 bars out of ten in signal strength.
Was looking forward to some uncapped bandwidth as part of the trial, but I guess I'll have to make do with my adsl connection for the time being.

I bought a Vodacom 3G package recently and it is working well. I am getting good coverage in both Alberton and Bryanston at speeds of 3.6 Mbit/s. With 7.2 Mbit/s being rolled out internationally and 14.4 Mbit/s to come, it looks promising.
(I also tested MTNs coverage and speed and it appears just as good in the areas I frequent)
I read something recently that said SA is leading the race in mobile connectivity. Whilst the rest of the world is using cable and dsl connections, mobile wireless connectivity in SA is on par with dsl connectivity, and is also amongst the cheapest in the world at the moment.
SA is in the leading race for mobile connectivity only because the entry costs for fixed line is so high but is not leading it. We have also not been amongst the cheapest in the world for a long time and in some countries you can get 5 times or more or even uncapped for what you pay here, some african countries no less. The idea that we are the cheapest is still being perpetuated from Vodacom's false advertisement that they are.
