Telkom has launched
what is, for most users, effectively an uncapped mobile broadband product, offering a terabyte per month of data, for R999.

The Sim-only Smart Broadband Wireless deal offers 4G/LTE access and 1 024GB/month of data with no fair-use policy and no bandwidth restrictions on a month-to-month contract.

In a statement on Wednesday, Telkom described the 1TB LTE offer as a “market disruptor and a new level of data quantity” offered by a South African mobile operator. The company said the product is suitable for gamers, collaborators, movie makers, podcasters and other heavy data users.

For those needing a router, Telkom is offering a Huawei device on a 24-month contract at an additional R70/month. Data bought on the 1TB plan has a rolling 60-day validity period.

It is only available where Telkom has network coverage and is not available for use through Vodacom, the company’s roaming network partner.


Awesome, I am at the end of my 200+200 GB contract, perfect timing and a great deal. For me that is effectively uncapped. And cheaper than my current deal.

Seems good, I would highly recommend using a VPN ie: Windscribe and see if they throttle your speeds.

I've been using Smartbroadband Wireless LTE for two years and it's mostly really good. No problem taking this deal. It's cheaper and I get 1TB vs 200+200GB.

Just need to confirm that I can use both 1800 and 2300MHz and multi-sim as I do currently.

Doesn't support multi sim. So not great for me as I have three.

I have ordered this. Waiting for the sim. Just ordered the Huawei B818-2634G as well.

Will see how it works.
