Well i doubt that one of the most successful businesses in the world will bite for this. But it is scary to see how things really work.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX must have black ownership to launch Starlink in South Africa – ICASAICASA recently published new regulations which require all telecoms licensees in the country – including ISPs – to have black owners.
So much for getting good internet...

Elon Musk is a TWAT - I have a very serious problem with global companies just doing whatever the F they want wherever they want.
Not that I am pro the whole black ownership thing - I just dislike the God-Of-Musk-Fandom!
Look at the latest idiot nonsense with his stupid car.

Lucky you yea right now these "WIFI wanbe ISP providers" wants R1k for 20down, 5up i think and they want 4k for the installation and if i recall R300 for insurance against lighting that puts them at higher cost then well almost anything else and is why i am LTE contract 40mb down and 5mb up

In spite of all the negativity, I have stuck with Telkom who is giving me a very good service. (just don't try talking to a call centre)
Connectivity is good and I have had maybe 98% uptime in the more than 20 years that I've been with Telkom. Yes, and Telkom to Telkom calls are free!
I have recently been able to convert my LTE contract (after only 3 months) from 20 + 20 GB to 40 + 40 GB at a 50% discount on their latest offering.
With the private guys this would not have been possible as you are locked in for 24 months.
I have had such problems with the international cell companies and in particular with MTN with whom I will never do business again.
MTN makes it virtually impossible to cancel a contract after expiry and keeps charging on a month to month fee while you go from pillar to post to cancel the subscription. This was in spite of them being informed before the expiry date that I do not want to renew my contract.
Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...
I have Mweb 100 up 100 down for R1.4k - The service is fair....not wonderful. I have all the cellphones on Telkom though - The service is ....OK or totally CRAP
i have been with Vodacom from the very start... Then i got a Cell C, Telkom, MTN thinking that one of them should work eventually XD

Vodacom double billed my wife a couple of years back and no matter what we did we couldn't get the money refunded - they are also a bunch of clowns
