    Gauteng, being the main business hub for the big corporates, is where the most money can be made upfront by the companies offering their services.. If you look at any coverage map for Vodacom/MTN/Sentech/IBurst their best service locales are located in Gauteng...

    On coverage I get it. On speed, frankly I don't. Arguably, there are probably more connections per tower in Gauteng compared to KZN. The hand brake seems to be in the pipe between Gauteng and KZN, or in the priority given to that pipe.

    On more than one occasion Vodacom has been caught with a transparent cache setting between KZN and Gauteng that ensures stuff that is OK in Gauteng simply does not work in KZN. Not even-handed and not amused.

    Might be to keep the Gauteng "yuppies" happy... And in using the word "yuppie", I was there once upon a time...

    Well they are the HQ of SA atm.

    this is slowly moving into a different direction though Dave.... don't be surprised if i say that Durban is going to become the new HQ of sa. Alot of businesses are moving their HQ to durban or CPT and away from JHB.

    there are other plans atm to bring about new wireless infrastructure in Durban. so Dave... it will happen we just have to be patient as usual
