Inadequate service

<p>I have just converted my internet system to LTE and following this i am informed that this is incompatible with DSTV and the explora and I cannot connect unless I have an ADSL line. Apparantly DSTV's firewall prevents this. I believe this is unacceptable as both 3g and LTE are a better way to go than ADSL which is outdated and very slow. This is a typical situation where a monopolistic system which has numerous repeats and not enough competion prevents a supplier providing a decent service. I have accordingly cancelled Showmax and will now be using Netflix. </p>

Dear Mr P Rogers

Internet in your home (we recommend an uncapped ADSL account, with a minimum 4Mbps download speed. For the best experience, a download speed of at least 10Mbps is recommended).

This is not answering my question. Why must i have an ADSL line and also pay for LTE. I suggest you slowly read my initial query again and then try again to answer my question
