Compared 3G and 4G coverage in rural versus urban regions.
3G coverage is below 40% in agricultural holdings south of Bronkhorstspruit and other rural areas.

Abstract

Other areas with 3G coverage below 40% of an EAs cellphone coverage, are agricultural holdings south of Bronkhorstspruit and Rayton, Doornkloof smallholdings close to Irene, nature reserves like Bon Accord and agricultural areas west of Atteridgeville. In comparison, 4G coverage of below 40% of an EAs cellphone coverage is evident in many more areas, especially in the central part of the metro stretching from Ga-Rankuwa in the west to Bronkhorstspruit in the east. 4G coverage above 60% can be seen in subplaces with high population density like Soshanguve, Montana, Wonderboom, Silverton, Lynnwood, Monument Park, Valhalla and Centurion.
