VAS 384kbps?

The 25pro package should have been 50gigs in total instead of splitting it midnight to morning which one could have used for VAS. Terrible marketing and tricking their customers. It just shows a disdain for promoting South African online activity.

Eish! The products were developed as a result of online feedback. I wouldn't classify that as disdain?

This is the Uncapped + product!

The uncapped+ caps you after 3gigs per day! Thats not uncapped! Plus you don't get the midnight to morning uncapped included in the package. So if your downloading during the morning you could use up your 3gigs and your stuck at 384kbps for the rest of the day.

I was actually referring to the VAS 128kbps + midnight to morning product which could do with an upgrade to 384kbps plus keeping the midnight to morning.

The 25+ pro doesn't need to be split if you have midnight to morning VAS. In my opinion.
 
Capped means you are blocked from using the network and placed in a walled garden. With Uncapped + this is not the case but you are rate limited to 384 kb/s for the rest of the day. By your reasoning an ADSL 384 kb/s Uncapped product is not uncapped?

Each product is priced as an entity without any cross subsidization. It would be possible to do an Uncapped Unlimited at about R1200 but there would be a few considerations about the demand for such a product? Wouldn't help if only one person subscribed.

Not the first time I've heard a person shoot down an idea based on the premise that only one person wants it.

You should rather name your packages dial-up uncapped+.

It did not shoot down the idea but merely expressed an opinion that a product needs to be researched before release or it becomes an Edsel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel).
