At the annual MyBroadband Conference held at Vodaworld on Wednesday, Cell C was awarded the 2010 Mobile Broadband Service of the Year award for its new HSPA+ 900/2100 network, due to be launched in Johannesburg and Pretoria in mid-November. Cell C CEO Lars P. Reichelt received the award from Rudolph Muller, the founder of mybroadband.co.za.
The awards which are based on two surveys completed by more than 1900 participants also saw 48% of consumers voting Cell C as “the broadband provider which did the most in 2010 to improve the state of broadband in South Africa”. Cell C's pricing for its launch offer has also been deemed "the best ever broadband pricing in SA" as the company slashed mobile broadband prices from “the usual R200 per GB to as low as R33 per GB”.
All this comes at a time when Cell C has been confirmed as the fastest ISP (Internet Service Provider) in South Africa according to Netindex from Ookla.
