Price of mobile data.

[DTBA]

For a while now the price of mobile data has gone down by a big amount, but I feel its still not enough.

I know of a few ISP's and other company's that will tell you the users just want to download the internet. While that might be true for some users, I don't think they can blame us?
In this day and age where we are seeing 4k videos on cellphones, streaming tv over your internet and massive downloads and updates.



I am on the afrihost package. While Its one of the cheapest out package for 10GB of there, I feel its getting too small.
I play 3 main games dota 2, csgo , eve online. This week alone had 1.1 GB patch from eve online, 1GB patch from dota 2 yesterday. O and almost every day dota 2 has a patch of 50 MB +.

Its almost 4GB this week before we even started playing, maybe watched a youtube video or downloaded antivirus update or windows updates.

It seems also "game matches" takes more data as well.



It makes me wonder if we will get to the point where the growth in data outside of south Africa while be so fast we will never catch up.

Mobile data should never be your primary connection. Get ADSL/Fibre for those uses.

I would have but telkom has no lines in this area and are not planning to add lines here.

I was on ADSL. Telkom will not up my speed ADSL.
Next best thing is LTE.
Fiber and ADSL improved speeds will not happen for me.
To far from the exchange.
