Cell C has made a pit stop in Polokwane in its race to hook up the country’s main towns and cities to its third-generation mobile network.
Polokwane, the capital of Limpopo province, will have 67% network coverage for now, slightly lower than many of the other cities in which the company has launched its new network.
However, Cell C’s head of marketing, Simon Camerer, says the city will have 98% coverage by January next year.
Residents of Polokwane, which was formerly known as Pietersburg, will receive average download speeds of between 6Mbit/s and 9Mbit/s.
Gauteng residents will be hoping Pretoria and Johannesburg will be the next on Cell C’s list. Cell C CEO Lars Reichelt has said Gauteng should go live in mid-November.
However, he has also said that the Gauteng roll-out has been more difficult than expected. — Staff reporter, TechCentral
