Huge Vodacom data price cuts

Vodacom and the Competition Commission have announced that they have reached an agreement regarding the Data Service Market Inquiry which will result in the mobile operator dropping prices by over 30% across the board.

Speaking at a media briefing in Pretoria, Competition Commission deputy commissioner Tembinkosi Bonakele said that the agreement is subject to confirmation by the Competition Tribunal and certain conditions are confidential to protect competition in the market.

BS headline. R99 per 1GB? F**k right off.

If vodacon agreed to it there is a catch or they have thought of something the authorities haven't. Vodacon cannot be trusted.

30%? Try 80%

Public: -1

I don't get it.

I have been paying R99/month for 1GB on prepaid for a long time.

Contract customers pay that same amount for an extra 1GB (once-off) data bundle above their included allowance.

This is blatant misadvertising. Please change the thread title.

Thank goodness sanity has prevailed and we didn't get Communist intervention in our free market from the Competition Comrades.

BIL is visiting Australia at the moment :

Mobile Data : AUD20 (just over R200) for 48GB, valid for 28 days.

It's also cheap in most other countries.

SA has a long, long way to go.

You posted this before, and I only remember ever paying R149.

Enjoy your Vodacom Data!

Is this going to be one of those 30% reductions in the blended rate charged nonsense that Shameel likes trotting out?

[Pitbull]

Does this apply to Fibre?

That is usually a once-off to hook you, after which you pay more, once it expired.

Half of the family lives there, so am always on the lookout for nice deals.

Which carrier is that by the way?
