Unless they're going into orbit and confiscating the satellites good luck to them...

Our government is exceptionally greedy and they want a large portion of Star-link. Obviously trying to take what they didn't work for as is our Government's custom response to everything. However this is abuse of power from our government and it should be credited as such. That said Star-link is very expensive for South Africans so I don't see people using it.

People will easily use it in rural areas and offshore in a heartbeat. It's reliable, cheap and fast compared to the alternatives in those areas.

Fibre doesn't exist everwhere.

True, I can see them use it full time actually. However in towns like where I live we have access to fibre LTE and 5G services. I like my Metro Fibre Prepaid. I can't tell you how happy I am with their service. That said if you don't have access to anything yea Star Link is an answer and actually because it is not dependent on our infrastructure it might be more stable

Look me too. I'm in a major metro. My fibre connection is pretty reliable. I wouldn't bother with Starlink.

I get why others would though. Must be crazy difficult to get a decent connection out on some farm in the Karoo for example.

Look at this trash email. Directly from the CEO. What a dumbass.

Hi XX (My name removed)

Gian, CEO of Afrihost, here.

Just a heads up:

Next week I'm going to give you 10GB FREE mobile data and R100.00 airtime for your phone.

You can use this on either an eSIM (if your phone is able to) or a new physical SIM (which we'll deliver to you for free).

Please keep an eye out.

It's our way of saying a HUGE 'Thank You!' for trusting us with your internet and it'll also give you a chance to try out our brand new AirMobile data and cellular service that we're relaunching.

For free and at no risk to you.

We've spent the last 21 months working flat out building it completely from the ground up and I honestly believe it's the best mobile service out there.

And I'd love for you to try it out for free.

But there's a catch...

And here it is:

A ton of people WON'T get to enjoy the free 10GBs and R100.00 airtime.

I don't want you to be one of them.

I'd hate for you to miss out.

And that's the reason I'm telling you early.

The truth is we simply cannot afford to give 10GB of mobile data and R100 airtime to everyone for free.

And if you miss that email from me or if you get it but don't grab your 10GB and R100 airtime in time then you will miss out.

Why could you miss out?

Well we'll be offering this 'Thank you' to ALL of our clients next week.

That's HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people.

And in today's world everyone loves and uses data BUT everyone loves FREE data even more!

And we obviously can't afford to give everybody 10GB and R100 airtime for free.

I'd LOVE to do that but if we did then we wouldn't be around next month!

There will be a limit to what we can give away.

So this means that there WILL be sad and disappointed people who don't get their free 10GB mobile data and R100 airtime.

And I don't want you to be one of them.

So what do you need to do?

PLEASE look out for an email I'll be sending you on the 6th of Feb (that's this coming Tuesday).

And when you get it, if you want to grab your free 10GBs and R100.00 airtime please do it right away.

No pressure if you don't.

But if you do want this, please be sure to grab it quickly when you see that email.

See you next week!

Have an spectacular day.

Gian Visser
CEO, Afrihost




*P.S.*

The only 'CATCH' is that we can't afford to give this to every single one of our clients.

So, if you'd like 10GB mobile data and R100.00 airtime for FREE, please keep an eye out for the email I'll be sending early next week so you can claim your GBs while they're still available.
 
That email from Afrihost was very unprofessional , its like they got a 10yr old to write it, surely they must have poeple who read these things before they send them out?
 
no matter what special offers Afrihost offer,ill never go back ,pathetic call centre and arrogant staff .4 years now with another company and zero issues ,was with Afrihost 10 years ,allways regretted it .

I really want to see the ANC government build a rocket to get into space and grab those satellites. It will never make it off the launch pad.

Actually... no scratch that, I'm sure it will all be fine. In fact we will obviously need a crack team of highly qualified afronauts for the first flight. I nominate the entire ANC NEC. They'll sort out those colonialist satellites.
 
Yeah don't tell me to check my email on the 6th and then it Never arrives..
