Afrihost launches fixed LTE-A packages

[system32]

It's a good option for people that don't have DSL or Fibre in their area.

Could replace DSL as most DSL is soooo slow with "upto" 4Mbps.
Just need bigger caps and DSL will die.

I feel your pain...

 

[Vrotappel]

Too much price for too little cap.

 

[Gaz{M}]

Not everybody is downloading 25GB Blu Ray rips of every movie ever made.

30GB a month is plenty for me.

That said, I don't think the pricing is that competitive and also the entry price is too high.

I'm not sure I follow? :erm:

A Capped Data model allows a good balance between affordability and the amount of data that you get.

Oh, I am not ragging on your company/brand. You dudes need to make bucks, just like any company.
It's the incumbent government/policy models that you all have to conform to, that are outdated, and the consumer ultimately suffers on their monthly ROI.

Nothing personal If it came across as such, then my bad.

Ah! Okay, I see your point. I may have interpreted it a bit literally.

Any free midnight data included?

640GB is enough for anybody

 

[Petec]

640GB is enough for anybody

So is 512k RAM

55GB @ R459.00 p/m on LTE ( Not Bad )....... BUT....... Here are the but's;
1. No midnight data ?
2. Have to pay R2500 for the Router ( Once off)

Afrihost should have SOLD this deal ten times fold with subscribers streaming in, if they only offered the following:
1. 55GB midnight data
2. Included Router if signing up for 24 months, forget the once off charge
3. LTE available in most areas, this is not the case currently?

Telkom's Big July promo still better 20GB + 20GB midnight data which incl the LTE router for R299 per month on 24 month contract ..... But I still will wait to see the Aug Big Promo from Telkom, before committing.

Midnight data please. Tell Gian.

Not bad top ups.

Price, Data, and Top-ups

There are three month-to-month Rain packages from Webafrica and MWEB, with pricing the same from both ISPs.

55GB – R549 per month
85GB – R799 per month
120GB – R999 per month
Users are also required to purchase a Huawei B618 router as part of the deal, which costs:

R2,249 from Webafrica
R2,199 from MWEB

No competition...

 

[dotcat]

MTN packages must be aligned with these price points too please.

 

[AfriGenie]

Any free midnight data included?

Not at the moment.

Not everyone just checks mail once a month or uses the google to check a recipe on making prune juice.

Streaming, steam, etc etc
