MTN hikes contract data prices

[Valhallan]

here I was thinking about a data contract. fsuckn thieves. lemmie check what afrihost is offering. on my way to prepaid fast. have to wait till December though. going to take the cheapest contract next month. will save upto a grand just like that.

Don't forget you can't use Afrihost unless ur on a MTN contract...Pre-paid wont work with Aftrihost

yep that's why im getting the cheapest topup or 'bring you own sim' contract.

I don't know if this was already posted elsewhere...

Where has all the mobile revenue gone?

SA's developing trend will be no different, I expect.

Are MTN trying to force people into Afrihost's APN service?

Would make sense if they did not own 50% of afrihost

New CEO doing the same things that cost the old CEO thousands of customers and his job. Winning!

If all mobile operators take this lead, that will be the government's broadband to all in "sy glory in".

It does, if the Afrihost network infrastructure is separated from the conventional MTN network infrastructure.

If you complain about network quality you get given a form to fill in then they never respond to it, ever again. complain about that a week later and they give you the form again. (7 times I have filled in the form in the last month, still no response.)

I did the same thing with Cell C, their network was so bad in Durban CBD that it wasn't even usable, they took at least 3 months to respond and another 6 months to do something about the network not working.

EMpTyN, taking you back to the dark ages. Funny it's happening on the heels of LTE.

TM has had tasty options that have all but vanished now.

- Gone free SMS
- Gone 5GB data
- Gone 300MB roaming (MTN) data

Plus they have serious coverage issues. Until the network sharing deal is in place with MTN, they aren't the best by far.

I was looking at a T-Mobile UK SIM only contract today:

4GB Data
Unlimited Calls
Unlimited SMS

£22.99 pm or around R420 pm if converted to SA Rands... Highlights how much we are being robbed here!!

MTN lose a bucket load of customers to (mainly) Cell C and their response is to get the remains of their customer base to pick up the slack in their income!!

data is where the revenue comes from these days but emptyn is gonna see their gat with these prices.

These Sps think they can take people for granted. Bye bye MTN, hello Iburst.
