Expect competitive data pricing from 8ta this month

2009 - DSL R70 per GB
2009 - Far to high for 3G per GB

2011 - DSL ~R25 per GB (out of bundle, in bundle looking at ~R15)
2011 - 3G ~R75 per GB

2013 - DSL ~R5 per GB? (out of bundle, in bundle looking at ~R3?)
2013 - 3G ~R20 per GB?

Exciting times ahead.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my services as proofreader to MyBB. I will perform this service for free even, as long as I can correct all typographical and grammatical errors as well as spelling mistakes before the articles are published. My inner grammar Nazi will be happy to do this so that I can read an article for once at least without seeing countless errors.
 
Maharaj also jokingly questioned whether 2GB of data per month is still enough for current internet usage.

My gosh...There may be hope yet for Telkom (at least a division of it). Will wait and see.
 
Since Cell Cs coverage map does not show the promised rollout of 3G I have to assume they've stopped the process, hence they will never cover the area I am interested in. 8ta already covers the area, and if their prices are better, here I go. I'm not going to RICA my Vodascum sim, Cell C's mix of airtime and data works better for me, and the 365 day 3Gb bundle is perfect for my purposes.

Dont say well done till they actually do something, if I got R100 each time some company came out with a statement saying they would change the landscape I would be a rich man.

What is the use if the line rental for a 4Mbps ADSL is more than R500 per month (analog included) ? This is the real area of concern in terms of costs.
 
How typical of them hey, so i guess all them sell same things at the same price 2gig 4 R149. Eish, some people so are lazy to think.
 
Probably be something like : R140 for 2Gigs but be tied to a 24 month contract.
 
currently,8ta data pricing is a copy of Cell C.If 8ta could price better,then it will be good news.
bellow is 8ta's current data pricing:
R50 Bundle 100MB Data, 50c per MB
R100 Bundle 250MB Data, 40c per MB
R150 Bundle 500MB Data, 30c per MB
R250 Bundle 1GB Data, 25c per MB

At 2G speeds 'use' is a relative term. So, yes at the speed of a snail with a faulty lube gland, NO at XG, where X is not less than 3
 
Anything less than 10 gigs does not compete with adsl... somebody bring on the damn competition.
