Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but what happens after the 2 year contract is up? On the 50gb data deal offered in 2016 on Black Friday?
They'll call you to renew your contract.





























* Promotional data and minutes excluded.

Oh, I never got the call promised to me on Friday so emailed them, cancelled the deal, back with Vodacom who sommer gave me 20+20gb with a router for R229.

Sadly this is the year we have to say goodbye to our awesome packages..

I really do hope they have some awesome plan to retain all of us, especially those clients that ported into MTN

Slim to none

I wish they are more pro-active than CellC and their 2 year old data special (5GB Day + 15 GB Night for R99/pm x 24) which ended in March. CellC could not offer me anything remotely close to that when the end date of the contract was there and I therefore just cancelled.

I'll more than likely port to a telkom freeme package if they don't come up with something similar.... but man, these contracts have been bloody awesome!!

Same here...if MTN don't do something for retention then they're gonna bleed thousands of subscribers to telkom.

I don't see them coming with this again later in the year. Maybe next year after they realised how many us left them.

Hah they'll go through usage and see who actually didn't really use it and "randomly" pick people as lucky users to renew.

Hi all, have any of you experienced slow to sometimes totally non-existant internet on the 2016 MTN Black Friday special?

Nope, quite the opposite!! I'm seeing unbelievable speeds, for a while now, up to 70Mbps in some instances and seldom below 20Mbps. Around 4 months to go and then these beauties will be no more!! Damn, it's going to be hard to say good-bye.... :(

Both hubby and myself have them and we are both experiencing terrible speeds. I've got 2 sims in my phone (MTN and Voda)...wonder if that could affect it in any way?

Nope. This is the best product out there. Honestly hasn’t given me any issues for the past 2 years. November is gonna be a sad month for most of us.
