Telkom LTE FAQs
What is LTE-A (LTE-Advanced)?
LTE-Advanced also known as 4G is the next evolution from LTE technology and Telkom was the first to commercially launch this technology in South Africa. LTE-Advanced supports a lower latency in comparison to LTE technology. This is important in supporting services that require real-time online capability like online gaming and high Quality of Service.
What is the difference between LTE vs Fibre?
LTE and Fibre technology both fall into the next-generation basket of internet technologies. LTE is delivered over a dedicated, licensed wireless spectrum using advanced technologies, while Fibre is delivered over a physical fibre optic cable. Both technologies are capable of delivering faster internet speeds with lower latencies and higher dependability than traditional technologies.
What speeds can I expect from Telkom's LTE-Advanced network?
Telkom's LTE-Advance network supports download speeds of up to 150Mbps and upload speeds of up to 25Mbps.
What happens if I relocate?
Telkom LTE is designed to be a fixed-wireless service that remains at a single location, however should you take it with you when you travel or move, it will work just by plugging it in depending on whether you are still in a LTE, 3G or LTE-Advanced coverage zone (should you have an LTE –advanced router/package).
Does RICA apply?
RICA compliance rules will apply.
What supporting documents are required if I sign up in my personal (consumer) capacity?

Where will my LTE SIM and device be delivered to?
The hardware will be sent directly to the delivery address specified on the application form. In most cases this will be the client's premises address, so you can expect a delivery from Telkom directly unless you have arranged our agents to install/deliver.
What precautions should I take when setting up my LTE Wi-Fi router?
Users should reset their login username and password on the router, as well as the password for the Wi-Fi connection. For assistance with this or advanced security, please call the Telkom support desk on 081180.
