MultiChoice launches DStv Internet with MTN

[Vorastra]

@Jan do we know if MultiChoice have negotiated an SLA or will they be treated like any other data at the tower?

 

[G.A.S]

Well, at least their "25GB" package is "25GB + 25GB night time". Not 10+15 or something like that...

 

[Sads-1-zn]

When I read the headline I assumed it would be something like Openview Connect. Meanwhile it's this nonsense.

 

[backstreetboy]

Holy crap that is slow. Do you only have edge?

Prefer a larger cap than faster speeds thank you very much.

 

[NeonNinja]

What the hell is this people?

do i need to pay extra if i want to google sport?

 

[Swa]

But that means you need to use Cell C.

Yup, great value.

 

[Thor]

This will fail and the project will be killed.

@backstreetboy might be able to tell you if there is a month-to-month version or not.

Telkom also offer a 1TB deal but for R999pm, You may have to go into a store to get it at month-to-month though.
For those with good signal to a 2300MHz tower without any congestion, I'd recommend Telkom.

DStv Internet prices revealed — all the details

MultiChoice has published pricing for its newly launched DStv Internet packages, starting at R199 per month.

The fixed wireless access service uses a SIM card and Wi-Fi router to connect to MTN's network.

 

[$m@Rt@$$]

This is so dumb. Much cheaper with MTN directly.

This is like buying meat at the cornershop when there is big butcheries all over the town. Don't think it will last, but who am I to say.
Expect numerous calls from call centers, trying to sell this deals.

 

[charlieharper]

Lol the headline made me think, maybe they are finally offering a new streaming only service that would mean we could pay less to ditch the decoders.

 

[Moosedrool]

I haven’t paid multi choice a dime since 2011.

Now they’re a isp?

 

[rubber_otter]

This seems like a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Entering the ISP market at this point in time? A sinking company grabbing at thin air.

I like it.

 

[Gudnews]

Is this their plan for folks who watch the other services on the Ultra decoder? I thought fibre was the play.

 

[Joe Average]

None that I can find..

That makes this offering pretty useless
