Afrihost Mobile double data returns

Will Axxess also offer the double data promotion? Is the Afrihost deal also "3 month data rollover" like Axxess?

I think that is the differentiating factor between these two offerings at the moment,so will probably stay that way until end of the year.
 
It is a good offer but remember Vodacom is also running it's double data promotion at present. I hope these double data promotions become fixed!
 
numbers are looking good... gives 20Gb (10+10) for roughly what ADSL cost is, but much faster.
and the valueable point of not having telkom line issues included
but still need bigger.... 20Gb+20Gb please, i would love to ditch Telkom line for my 30-40Gb pm usage

Just buy 2 sims ;)
 
:) yeah, can take 2 x (10 + 10)... that will be almost R1000 ..... actually hoping for 20+20 at about R800 or so, then good replacement for ADSL.
tiill then will just have to keep bietsing in Telkom's less than willing ears
 
1. First Afrihost say this promotion is ending June 2014.

2. Then it changes to end July 2014.

3. Then they release press statements, it even appears on News24, Fin24 that they are loosing money because of the promotion; doing a huge favour but sorry it has to end. Boo hoo.

4. Then they send a secret link that we can send to our mates that the general public can't see to get this special super duper promotion again; but sshhhhhh.
"Dear XXX
After we stopped 2-for-1 mobile signups end of July, I received an avalanche of emails asking me to help those who missed out on the extra data.
So I've made a plan for you:
https://clientzone.afrihost.com/mobile-double-data-internal
(That's the direct link our team uses to sign up Double Mobile data packages for special cases)
This 'secret' link is not available from our website.
And you (or your family and friends) can use it right now to get double the data on our mobile packages."

5. Now today it's extended, amazing!

What's next on this? Any bets?

These should become the normal fixed prices
 
Too bad the maximum speed I get on this at night is about 0.2 mbs....

At least when I travel I get great speeds though.

Amateur hour from the Product or Marketing Manager. While I like getting double data, they would be better to stick to one or two stories. Not five.
 
Being with afrihost almost 2years had been a great pleasure and support from a handful of their talented team but I must say wish there was a 20+20GB package would be awesome
 
They are obviously negotiating with MTN on this, and so the situation is constantly changing.

Don't be so hard on them.
