I purchased the Media bridge/access point so that i can get maximum speed via Wifi. The B315 will only give you maximum 30-40mbps due it it being only 2.4ghz and being a 150mbps wifi router (It has gigabit Ethernet ports). With the access point you can get up to 90mbps throughput. You need to install the Poynting antenna on the roof (Bracket will be supplied).

The LTE AUP is as follows:

It is soft capped at 300GB then they half your speed

Past 350GB then they cut your speed to 2Mbps (Netflix still runs very well, Ive pushed it during the lockdown tp 400Gb and counting)

The monthly cost is R529.61.

You do not have roaming access nor 3G fallback. The onus is on you to make sure you have coverage

I need to also get clarity on transferring the account, from what i read they will make you sign a new AUP which i am not sure what it entails.

Only reason i'm selling is i am getting a 1gbps fibre line and kicking DSTV to the curb. I can only deliver/arrange or ship once the lock down has been lifted

I can advise, if you transfer the contract, it will have to be resigned at the new contract package.
Unfortunately you can't transfer a month to month contract.

I have looked at this before.
My advise, see if you can find a friend who would take it over and pay you or telkom directly, otherwise, just cancel and sell the hardware.
I'd be keen on the antenna if you do sell it.

Cheers

Out of curiosity, when you say telkom will half your speed after 300GB what is this speed and what was it before it gets halved?

Ive been asking around, if i dont get anyone to take it over (im also open to them paying me) ill let you know and ill sell the hardware separately

It runs between 75 and 98 mbps up to 300gb and after that it goes down to between 30 and 40 mbps. If you are not a heavy user the package is brilliant, ive just been capping it out to about 500 gb the last couple of months
The only problem i have is after 350Gb you will be down to 2 mbps

I would be keen on taking the month to month telkom data

 

[DieMan]

put me in line for the month to month simcard.

Looked into transferring the contract, would not be possible at the monthly cost and the risk of keeping it on my name is to high.

Therefore I will cancel the month to month and sell the hardware separately
