That is very good R199 including vat, anyone have any experience with that router?

 

[D4N]

Surely that's a mistake, it's 1/10th of RRP

Colin at 10:14, Dec 10:
Thanks for your question, please give me a minute or two to check for an answer for you.

Boss at 10:14, Dec 10:
ok

Colin at 10:18, Dec 10:
that is the charger only

Boss at 10:19, Dec 10:
it's a router - does not have a charger

Colin at 10:19, Dec 10:
the router is no longer available

Boss at 10:19, Dec 10:
was it incorrect pricing?

Colin at 10:19, Dec 10:
i have the supplier on the phone, that is what they telling me

Colin at 10:20, Dec 10:
the price is for the ac adaptor/charger not a router

Boss at 10:20, Dec 10:
well then the description on your website is wrong

Boss at 10:21, Dec 10:
a friend has bought 2 already

Colin at 10:22, Dec 10:
the ea4500 is replaced with the ea6700

Boss at 10:22, Dec 10:
That doesn't answer my question or help me in any way Colin

Boss at 10:23, Dec 10:
was this an error on your site? incorrect pricing? wrong description?

Colin at 10:25, Dec 10:
error on the website

Boss at 10:25, Dec 10:
i suggest you remove the item as there are a lot of people on mybroadband.co.za that are going to purchase it without knowing the truth

Called it.

 

[Nimz]

Seriously hate dealing with that company - avoid using them at all cost

 

[rubber_otter]

I have it on a recorded call that they will honor that price. Bought 2.

That price is for a power adapter if Nimz post is anything to go by.

So just double check the product you're getting.
