Telkom 8-ta Data Contract

I should have known better: "what sounds too good to be true, is too good to be true". Got an LTE data contract with modem. Firstly, the modem's battery runs down in no time, secondly, connectivity is almost a universal problem, unless you sit ontop of a tower. I would say that in the majority of places you won't have 8ta connectivity. In the middle of Rosebank (around Total head-quarters) and around Century-City are Cape town. It's not like I am trying it in Pofadder. It is a almost-completely-useless contract. IMHO, think carefully before taking a contract on 8ta; the radio add does not meet the horror of the product.
