    Free upgrade for DStv Compact Plus customers in South Africa

    I find the new R799 x 24 price lock including access and extraview fees a good deal. This includes 2 anywhere streams. I used to pay R1 104.00 per month. A good deal if you willing to commit to a 24 month contract.

    Openserve 30 up 30 down

    Yes like always... loyal long term clients continue to pay the current prices and cannot migrate to this new package. Disapppointing indeed. So the only way to get this, is to cancel your current line and sign up for this new package? Ridiculous.

    DStv subscribers get shock Disney+ bill

    Glad I got rid of these clowns years ago...still get comeback email offers, sms and even calls, but ignore all. It is way overpriced with repeats - I choose to get my entertainment and sport elsewhere - streaming is the way to go...for far less.

    One fibre customer in South Africa consumed 1.4 petabytes of data in the first 11 months of 2023

    The Top Guy must be sharing with neighbours or downloading the same content over and over again, or running and WISP. We have a 200/200 line and it is really not that hard to use several TB's per month - my household of 11 all has smart devices and streaming content like Youtube, Disney+...

    I had my Vodacom contract since 1998 and started with a Nokia 3210 - was epic phone, then upgraded to Nokia 3330, then almost had every nice Nokia brand that came out every 2 years. Later I stuck with a Samsung S8+ for about 4 years, then took a Samsung Note 10+ that is still going strong. Very...

    Maybe other FNO's can follow suit? Many people on VUMA, Openserve, Frogfoot etc wish they can have a cheap package like that.
