Data doesn't expire, but it does evaporate.

It was a nice idea, but it's vapourware After being unhappy with MTN, I grabbed onto Capitec's Sim offering with both hands. Data that never expires. One flat rate. Sign me up and port my number immediately, I said. Sadly today is the day when I admit that at best it was a well intentioned but poorly executed project on Capitec's part - at worse it was something altogether more malevolent. The data is non existent. It really appears that regardless of where I find myself geographically or whether loadshedding is in progress, the signal is so weak and so slow that even Google Maps gives up and says "you are not connected to the internet." As for the data never expiring - that much may be true, but it certainly evaporates. The reason I can say this for a fact is because I bought a second Sim card for an LTE router I use as backup for my fibre at home. I bought about a gig and put a reminder in my calendar to just do a quick speed test on there every thirty days so that the Sim card won't be cancelled if it has zero activity for 30 days. The speed test was able to download at way less than 1Mbps and not upload at all, until last time when it told me I had no data. I contacted the call centre and asked them for a statement of data used and it doesn't show me using any data, and yet the data is gone. That's it. I'm deciding between Telkom, Vodacom, and Cell C. But I'm once again having to get my number ported, but I'm not even going to try to solve this with Capitec. The product is of extremely low quality.
