I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure my 8ta prepaid sim has an option for 2gb of data for R149+- topups

**edit - uploaded picture of the 8ta/Telkom mobile prepaid packages. a lot lower than R153.60, I'm not dissing AH, just wondering on what they are basing their figures on? :)
I will also be one of the F5 bashing people tomorrow morning ;)

Remember, that pricing is within a bundle... They are talking about non-bundled (per gb)

hi Afriman, I'm considering signing up with you guys but need some advice, I'm currently on a 1meg uncapped account with mweb, I'm considering taking the 1meg business uncapped account with you guys but at the same time considering just upgrading my line to 2mb and taking a normal 2meg uncapped account, what would you suggest between the 2?
Click to expand...

It depends on what you want to use the account for and what your monthly budget is :)
As Dr Evil says (and no, I'm not quoting Austin Powers here ;) ) our Business Uncapped packages are completely unshaped, 24/7 - while our Home Uncapped accounts are only shaped when the network is seeing a lot of traffic. Noted that the shaping on Home Uncapped accounts will not affect your realtime services like browsing, streaming, VoIP etc.
 
Afriman, AfriGuy or AfriGirl. Will you guys start a new AfriHost Mobile Data Feedback thread ?

Very smooth experience thus far... :whistle:

Critical Care has asked me to do Tracerts with regard to the slow international speed plaguing a number of users for the last two weeks. I have pasted them below for those who are following this case's interest.

Probably going to start receiving hate mail, but only saw now there's another product added that I missed earlier. I like what AH has done with the ClientZone and this offering. Take note other ISPs.

If you haven't received a mail - DON'T PANIC!

We'll post a message in your ClientZone that you can use to Pre-Order and do the invitation thing. This will only appear very close to the 10am launch time. Reason being that emails go through ISPs and spamboxes, but a clientzone link will appear within minutes (seconds) and we can be sure that EVERYONE will get one. So even if you got the mail, you'll get a backup message in your ClientZone.

Just click on the Envelope Icon in ClientZone 2.0, and go from there.

GOOD LUCK Everyone! Hoping we'll have quite a few of our MyBroadband peeps running on Mobile Data soon :)

Are we going to use this thread ? for the mobile part to? or is it getting its own :D
 
I received my link for the mobile data but it looks that a contract for R145 p/m if we sign up for the 5GB deal and get a free mifi modem. My question is, is it a contract or can we just get 1 without having to pay another monthly bill?
