Coverage
In cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, and Port Elizabeth, as well as in the highly frequented tourist regions of South Africa, you will enjoy reliable network coverage and fast internet connections. However, in remote rural areas or regions that are difficult to access, especially in the game reserves and mountainous regions, coverage can vary and occasionally be less stable.
