    Am I Being Charged Too Much For Prepaid Electricity?

    I bought R500's worth online on TheMeterMan.co.za last week. Cost was R1.22 per unit, or R1.40 per unit including VAT. A total of 356.4 units. There seems to be quite a big variation between what people pay in different places.

    Best LTE or LTE-A providers/pricing

    Can anyone please recommend a good ISP in Fourways area? Or is it better to speak directly to Telkom and CellC? I assume that Rain is currently not an option for LTE, correct? Incidentally, the particular area has very poor signal from both Telkom and CellC - might an antenna make a big...

    Fedhealth or Discovery Medical aid

    Just FYI - I spoke recently to the person who manages medical authorisations at one of the major clinics in Johannesburg and she told me that Discovery beats ever other medical scheme hands down when it comes to payments for cancer treatment.
