Afrihost slashes capped ADSL prices

[froot]

Afriman, so if there is no price drop or data increase for your bundled users then it will work out cheaper to actually unbundle the data & line. For example, I am on your 4/10mb & 50GB package for R697...if I unbundle this I can basically get the same deal for R600 and I can get 75GB for just R699.

Should I go ahead and unbundle or are you guys looking into this?

The 4/10 with 50GB/75GB costs R450pm/R572 (bundled)
The 4/10 line and extra 50/75 GB costs R399pm + R199/R299pm = R600 and R700pm

I don't see how you get to R697?

Next to the 4/10/100GB is a dropdown arrow that gives you the option for 50 or 75GB

O wow didnt see that. Thats a amazing saving them. Im definitely going to migrate. Just need a response to the last part of the question.

Ok, my bad, I forgot that I am on the 100GB bundle

Just to confirm I pay roughly R25 for 50Gig if I bundle? (Telkom ADSL rental R425) Bundle through AfriHost R450.

If you bundle the package this price falls away, this pricing is only for the data packages

Ok so I am current on:
Bundle: 4/10mb line rental + 50GB data = R697

If I change:
Unbundle: 4/10mb line rental (R399) + 50GB data (R199) = R598

Mind my blondness, but how will I be going wrong if I unbundle?

Bundled 4/10Mb with 50GB is R450.

Do not understand? Is your website wrong then? Says bundled 4/10 line with 50Gig data for R450. And how will top ups work?

Think I'm missing something, 50Gb + 4/10Mbps = R450pm

No no, that's correct Maybe I'm missing the plot a bit here...
As per the article, this is new pricing for our Capped DSL data products for new clients. Top-ups are done at R29/ GB.

He looked at his R697pm and thought he was on the 4/10 with 50GB... meanwhile he was on the 100GB

No joke, that is the amount I pay. Basically getting 50GB for R25!!!

Such good value!

Indeed!

@Afri
So basically if we are in the middle of the month, ie, and we want a nice topup, it's best to get an extra package and then just cancel it again for the next month?

 

[dyanamo]

So in essence to get most value for money I get the package, if I run out of GB purchase a new month to month 10/20/30Gig package at pro rata rate and then just cancel straight after?

That is a steal of a price I must say. We will how their network perform with everybody signing up now.

 

[KOPITE]

Well done to Afrihost for being the leader in the ISP market.

We're constantly monitoring our network, so there's no need to worry

We only need Telkom to scrap the analogue line and reduce the Adsl line rental by 50% then I will be happy.
