Afrihost cuts mobile data prices

Afrihost will be giving existing clients up to 100% more data than they currently receive for the same price.

Oh, that's nice of them

 

[CuppaJoe]

Is this a limited time special?

Nope, that's the pricing going forward. Permanently

 

[Ockie]

Meh.

Vodacom works out cheaper than Afrihost these days. Yes you have to sign a 24 month contract, but for 3 + 3 gig you pay R169.00 wheras with Afrihost you get 3gig only for a higher price, well, 4gig now.

Sure, the other 3gig with Vodacom can only be used after midnight or something, but if you can schedule your downloads then it comes in handy.

Good. Let the price war commence.

edit : I don't want to sign a 24-month contract, I want to be on prepaid, so as to avoid OOB...

Stop being a sissy! Live on the edge man!

Well, I just cancelled all my 3 sims last month because you had become too expensive after this afrihost plus bs

I think it may be a good time to re-activate then

I cancelled mine and my sister's one also.

EDIT: Someone brought the Halaal thread back to life. Last one there is a rotten egg!

I may just cancel. horrible speeds whole week so far in Halfway House, Midrand

 

[Elite Override]

Aren't we pretty much back to the old prices?

 

[Solitude]

Afrihost has announced it is revamping its mobile data packages, with existing clients getting up to 100% more data than they currently receive for the same price.

The article fails to mention that the higher packages get no increase at all.

Clients on higher packages will also receive more data

No they don't.

When I saw the headline for that article I became so happy but nothing changed for me.

Kewl.. hrm might downgrade as i dont use current allotted amount already haha.

@AfriGuy Any chance group sharing service coming (i.e. like MTN's newly created one)? Kinda the only reason i don't have all mobile data with Afrihost.

Sorry to hear that If signal coverage was good before it may be worth logging a coverage query though.

Any love for the Zest clients?

@AfriGuy

When do the new packages take effect? Beginning of next month or immediately?
Reason I ask is that the new package name is reflected in my connectivity dashboard, but it still shows the old data allowance.

Data sharing is something that's been on the cards since day 1, it's just a matter of finalising the details I believe there are some technical hurdles we need to jump over first - but it's definitely something that we're looking into!

 

[iWish]

Thanks. Great service and even better prices.

You can always look at upgrading your current data allocation. The Zest deal is already pretty fabulous, IMHO
