R44 per GB ADSL

Discovery Vitality is offering broadband ADSL from R44 per gigabyte

 

[Praemon]

Not bad at all! Discovery already offer discounts for shopping, gym etc. So this is great.

hmmm...

 

[Necuno]

The service is only available to Vitality Discovery members.

thought as much, and who is footing the bit before the cost price - us the discovery member probably.

So, to clarify, I get 1gb account both local and international for R44/m. I assume this excludes Telkoms line rental?

i cant believe a medical aid is now entering the DSL competition market, man that's f**cked up, don't you think? They should stick to their core business "medical aid"!!!!

 

[LFX]

it's advertised as R45 per gig, but in the sign-up dialog the only option for 1gb is listed as R65


either I'm missing something or . . .

I think it is quite cool...I mean my family is on discovery...and so far it contributed to our gym membership, movie cards, and now possible broadband...why not?

Actually, it is precisely because they are NOT sticking to their core business that they are doing so well and are able to offer good medical cover packages. That guy has vision. He is a Marketing Actuarial. He knows the math.

yip under power adsl at the bottom of the list

R44 for 1 gig but no local once capped.

 

[aadil-old]

Not bad at all. But 10gigs is R600? Why not just get 10 1gig accounts? Maybe they limit it via your discovery account. Still very good.

10 gigs is R440. not bad at all

Ya, I see if you choose power user and then the bandwidth it works out to R440. I was just going on the article

well obviously that too. But wont be using their broadband anyway.

 

[Ou grote]

Indeed.
I'm sorry, but you are not covered for any pills or operations, but we can give you 10 gigs of local only bandwith for free.

Seems like everybody's forgetting that it's R44/GB if you're a member of Discovery AND a Vitality member, which is R92 per month extra.

Ja? ... and?

I get more than R200.00 a month back on my food bills from Pick and Pay. I get gym membership for life at R500 once off. I get enough points four times a year to buy R500 worth of gifts for each family member from Vitality Mall. My wife gets her prepaid vouchers for R220 instead of R270.

...and they are introducing a new plan as well where I get 25% discount on all health food bought from Pick and Pay over and above my normal discount.

What's your point?
