As of Wednesday, Johannesburg and Pretoria will be connected to Cell C's new HSPA+ network, the operator has confirmed.
Mobile broadband users previously voiced concerns that the Gauteng region was so far down on the list of cities to be connected by Cell C. However, CEO Lars Reichelt explained that the company opted for a cautious city-by-city network roll-out approach to ensure any technical glitches were kept to a minimum.
Cell C has committed to 34% coverage of the entire South African population by the end of the year, and 67% coverage by mid-2011.
The mobile operator currently offers two packages: a modem capable of speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and 2GB of data per month, for a period of 12 months, for R1 499; and a modem capable of speeds of up to 21.6Mbps and 5GB of data per month, for a period of 12 months, for R2 999.
