About this network

Cell C (CELL-C) — one of South Africa's mobile operators, the third major entrant after Vodacom and MTN.

What it's used for

• Mobile data and internet for South African subscribers.

Notable

• A South African "eyeball" network: addresses here are typically mobile devices behind carrier-grade NAT.
• The smallest of the big three by network scale; it has increasingly relied on roaming/network-sharing arrangements with larger operators.

Interesting

• Cell C went through a major financial restructuring in recent years and shifted much of its radio-access footprint onto host networks rather than running its own towers everywhere.
