Cell C officially launched their first 21 Mbps HSPA+ mobile broadband services in early September, offering the best mobile broadband prices ever seen in South Africa. Its prices are even competitive as compared to  ADSL and other mobile broadband providers.

At launch Cell C offered clients two prepaid broadband packages:

1. For R1,499 you will get a modem capable of speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and 2GB of data every month for a period of 12 months.
2. For R2,999 you will get a modem capable of speeds of up to 21.6Mbps and 5GB of data every month for a period of 12 months.

   The above packages including a

• a white Cell C branded USB Speed Stick
• a Cell C SIM card

Cell C has now complimented its prepaid pricing with accompanying twelve month contract offerings which are significantly cheaper than Vodacom, MTN and the newly launched 8ta.

1. The first package offers a modem capable of speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and 2GB of data per month for R149 per month.
2. The second package offers a modem capable of speeds of up to 21Mbps and 5GB of data per month for R299 per month.

The contract packages are likely to increase uptake of Cell C’s newly launched mobile broadband offerings because it removes the barrier of entry associated with the prepaid packages without compromising much on price.

Cell C’s R149 per month package for a modem and 2GB of data is significantly cheaper than Vodacom’s R385 per month (for 24 months) for their 2GB broadband advanced service and MTN’s R389 for the same offering.

Cell C’s 5GB package for R299 is even more competitive when compared to Vodacom’s R945 for a modem and 5GB of data.

For those who prefer to buy bundles, the pricing is as follows
