AFRIHOST One Time Offer for Free GB users???

[werny]

I just got an email with a offer telling me that I can upgrade my Free GB account for only R1 and i'll get like 9GB's extra for this month?

Did anyone else get this email, and is it for real?

This is a screenshot of the page the link in the email takes me to:

I also got the email from them, not an April Fools. I don't need as have uncapped so won't be making use of the account, but if you have the 1GB a/c and want 9GB more then seems a really good deal.

 

[MartyMarts]

Signed up for the free 1GB yesterday and it lasted me just under an hour
This is a really good deal, especially for those who don't need/want uncapped.

Well done Afrihost.

 

[Roadrunner]

This is a great deal!

One question though:

If you do decide not to take the additional data next month, do you also lose the 1GB that was free?

 

[werny]

@Roadrunner - You dont lose the free 1GB.

I've just received my 11GB for April

How exactly do you qualify for this because i didn't get any email.

Its apparently only their favorite customers who got the email. Sorry XUMWUN!

 

[Pada]

You only qualified for this if you had a Free 1GB account with them <- or at least that is the reason why I got the E-mail.

 

[Off-The-Chart]

@Pada you mean FREE account without having a paid account as well?

 

[Pada]

Off-The-Chart: yup. I didn't have a paid account with them previously.

@Roadrunner - You dont lose the free 1GB.

Are you sure werny? I just called the call centre and they said you have to cancel your whole account, i.e. you lose the 1GB?

 

[Srack0verflow]

now they have no excuse to not sell a GB at R1 each in future

 

[Pada]

sandton_user: according to their E-mails and the information on the website you get to keep the free 1GB account.

 

[Alestorm]

Even new users get the deal. I just signed up for my free account and was offered the R1 upgrade.

Even if you don't want the 9GB (for example) after a month?

 

[ShaunSA]

Just got my 9 extra gigs for R1.00! And next month I will continue with them. Just the kind of deal I have been looking for. Well done to Gian and his team!

Having dealt with quite a few ISP's over the last few months I have always ended up going back to Afrihost. After this I am not even going to bother looking elsewhere!

I received my 10GB earlier today - now,after using the account a bit,I get this message :

Your ADSL Account is locked.Why lock the account?

The possible reasons for locking an account include that the ADSL Cap has been reached, e.g. due to excessive downloads.
Accounts may also be locked when there is an outstanding payment or administrative matter.
Some ADSL routers will need to be restarted once this is resolved.

Log in to the clientzone for complete details.

If you continue to see this page when your account is active, you may need to restart your ADSL router.

This is kind of a slap in the face to rest of their customers that did not get this email, its almost worth cancelling over this.
