Best fixed LTE option?

[Etienne]

As stated in title I'm looking for the best fixed LTE option for 2 people.

Fibre is not an option as the only package available in our complex is R760 for 10mbps, plus the time paired with installation and activation.

I saw a few uncapped LTE options from Vodacom and Mtn, but at max speed of 10mbps. The other is a capped option of about 300gb at max LTE speeds.

What do you non fibre guys have?

It depends on your needs. How much data do you use in a month?

Go with MTN, I've found them to have the best network.

Opinion: I'd rather have uncapped slower internet than faster capped internet.

We're on Rain at home, it's uncapped but it's really slow. Like 16mbs down and maybe 4 up if we're lucky.

i would definitly first look at your needs, do you really need uncapped right now, net year or so.
i have rain and mtn, also had vodacom (but just didnt work out for me)

use rain for garbage or when im not at home and for the kids, then for work i use mtn (have currently 100GB with 1month roll over) speed it always faster on mtn(sofar).

For rain, try using Huawei band tool to connect to the 2600_TDD band.. Its a hit or miss though, as it depends on whether your router supports it and there's a tower nearby. I get up to 30Mbps (bits) down. Sadly, the uploads are absolutely pathetic, though, its worth a try. (Using the Huawei B535 as a router that I received from a fixed LTE Telkom line)

l use Supersonic R999 every month uncapped, Axxess got MTN R779 uncapped.

careful for FUP's some have FUPs which limit your speed

Afrihost/Supersonic/Axxess if you need uncapped
The MTN FUP are the best out there (1TB Afrihost and Supersonic is unshaped/uncapped I think - check MyBB to confirm the latest FUP policies)

If you are fine with capped then pick the one which has the closest tower to you

Or rain 5G the top end one

Thank you everyone for the recommendations. I'll look into it and do some more research.

Personal experience so far:
Signed up with Axxess MTN uncapped last week 30th. Sim card delivered today, popped in Router, configured APN and I'm up and running. Brilliant speeds. Great service all around from Axxess.

This is what they say about the FUP:

Does the Uncapped LTE have an FUP?​

Yes, Axxess reserves the right to manage the top 25% of users on the MTN Fixed LTE Uncapped service.

I won't even get close to 1TB per month. I've just grown tired of managing data allowance and allocations. Paid almost R700 per month for 90GB on Telkom the last few years. So I'm paying less than R200 more and enjoying peace of mind.

Make the switch to Axxess if you intend on using Fixed LTE, you won't regret it

Same here. They also have month to month options. I pay R399 for 110GB+110GB on an old promo they had.
