MTN recently cut its Out-of-Bundle mobile data prices. This is how the various mobile providers stack up regarding mobile broadband prices.
MTN recently announced that it is slashing its Out-Of-Bundle (OOB) data rates on its broadband data bundles by up to 84%.
MTN SA head Karel Pienaar last week said that these price reductions were made possible by the company’s continual telecoms infrastructure development in South Africa, and that consumers can expect more of the same as the company’s projects start to come online.
The latest OOB data price cuts from MTN mean that they currently offer the best value for money to mobile broadband providers. This bodes well for MTN’s plans to become the leading broadband provider in the country.
“He who has the most IP packets on its network wins,” Pienaar said jokingly in an interview about MTN’s broadband plans.
The following table provides an overview of the prices associated with mobile data bundles in South Africa:
