Hi Paul, 

Just a cautionary word about your thoughts of Cell C. My brother
recently signed up with them and is already regretting the decision. He
lives in what is supposedly (according to Cell C's coverage map) a
high-level connectivity area, and signed up for their fastest offering.
(can't remember off-hand what that is - supposedly multi-Mbps)
Unfortunately, his connectivity is generally slower than my Telkom 384
Kbps ADSL, or my low-speed HSDPA connection via Vodacom. He is currently
exploring ways to negate the contract.

Robin
