Why can't they implement a system like this (pricing just an example to show the principle)

Package Bundle

100 Meg (Price R100,00) Out of bundle R 1,00 per meg
200 Meg (Price R180,00) Out of bundle R 0,90 per meg
500 Meg (Price R350,00) Out of bundle R 0,70 Per meg
1000 Meg (Price R500,00) Out of bundle R 0,50 Per meg

Basically the bigger the prepaid bundle you buy the cheaper per meg and the everything you use over that at the same price per meg. I think that is a fair system.

The networks are there to make money and not friends.

They penalise you if you do not have a big enough bundle. Therefore forcing you to buy a bigger bundle of which you most probably will not use all of it and thus forfeit the surplus. You will then continue to buy and again buy more than what you need.

It reeks of a scam. Were these companies really customer orientated they will accept your suggestion. However we are living in a capitalistic economy which in part requires management to maximize the returns of the investors money. Not a reasonable profit but maximising it.

Add government involvement, "control", with a lot of the high brass having a personal stake in these companies, and you have a classic African democracy.

In European democracies these people would have been criminally charged.
