At least you're getting a free speed upgrade.

The free upgrade served it's purpose, I guess.
I'll have to upgrade to the R 999 package end of this month. 400/400 is perfect.
@AfriNatic / @Afrigirl when would be the ideal time to upgrade to 400/400 to not have to downgrade back to 50/50 and then upgrade again?

Yeah that's the issue. It's all what you want out of a package, at the end of the day.
I'm not touching that lol

@AfriNatic to confiurm, sincme I'm making financial plans here now to move over or not.
From June, Afrihost (MFN) will have:
50/50 @ R797
250/250 @ R897
Does 400/400 stay at R997?
These are the new final prices, yes?

Hi.
Please note that the pricing for 250/250 has not been confirmed yet. However 400/400 will stay at R997 and 50/50 will be R797.

Hi.
You can request the upgrade on the 25th of May, it is manual. We should be able to submit it with Metrofibre before the 31st.

Wait but @AfriNatic said above that 100/100 users are going up to 250/250 at 100/100 pricing.
So is that not final then...?

Im currently on openserve using rocketnet for R1045 for 300/300.
I was waiting for reseller pricing on rockenet but seems that its way more expensive than metrofibre direct. Whats the pitfalls of metro direct? At R799 for 250 its a good deal imo

R575 Activation Fee and from what I've seen, bad support.

And 50/50 at R797.. bit cruel. I know you and @AfriNatic don't have a say in the pricing, but it really is unfair to have 50/50 users at 400/400 for 3 months, then expect R100 more for the old 50/50 speeds.. I mean, I'd be okay with 100/100 at R797, oh well.

It's most probably not Afrihost making that call, but rather MFN if I had to take a wild guess.

Yeah, pretty sure every ISP is going to lose on this. Hopefully a drop in clients means MFN ups the 50/50 speeds.
