Vodacom 5G Home Broadband pricing table with the lowest and highest pricing offers highlighted. The prices also vary slightly according to the router used. Vodacom currently offers some 14 Home Broadband plans with pricing ranging from R1,199 to R1,799 with contract terms varying between 2 and 3 years. The so-called Home Internet / Broadband makes use of bulky routers and is intended for home broadband use. This might change in future as Vodacom might come-up with separate pricing for 5G mobile data. When making use of Vodacom’s 5G on a smartphone, the pricing is currently the same as the regular 4G/3G/2G network for data connectivity. Vodacom is offering two types of 5G plans: Mobile and 5G Home Broadband. The last two are intended for fixed wireless access while the LG smartphone is obviously for more.

Huawei 5G CPE PRO Fixed Wireless Access Router.Vodacom was the first network operator to launch a 5G commercial service in Africa in Lesotho in 2018 and was also first to bring 2G, 3G and 4G services to South Africa. Existing 4G tariffs for mobile and fixed will initially apply to Vodacom’s 5G service offering, with special 5G tariffs to be announced in due course.
The current 5G network equipment deployed also operates in the same frequency bands which are expected to be permanently assigned through an auction later in 2020. Vodacom said it expects to expand its initial 5G rollout as more smartphones, Wi-Fi and Fixed wireless access routers become available.
This is largely due to the allocation of temporary spectrum by ICASA which has already mitigated the network congestion we have experienced since the start of the lockdown period.” During this difficult and unprecedented period, we are proud to offer world class network technology to South Africa, and all of its associated benefits, as we provide an essential service to keep the country connected. Shameel Joosub, Vodacom Group CEO, says: “Vodacom’s 5G launch in South Africa comes at an important time as it will help us improve our network efficiency during the COVID-19 national state of disaster. Vodacom customers with 5G enabled devices, and within a 5G coverage area, are now able to access one of the fastest and most sophisticated network connections in Africa.Īccording to Vodacom, the deployment of 5G will help the cellular network manage the 40% increase in mobile network traffic and the 250% increase in fixed traffic experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown. This network supports both mobile and fixed wireless services and is currently available on 20 live 5G sites, 18 of which are in Gauteng and 2 in Cape Town. Vodacom SA has launched on Africa’s first live 5G mobile network in three cities – Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town – with further rollouts planned to other parts of South Africa.
