Vodacom 300GB + 400GB Feedback

[cavedog]

From 1 June 2022, your MBB plan increase will be 3%

 

[cavedog]

Are they increasing the 3% on the discounted price or the base price before discounts?

Good question, I was also wondering

Well according to this, my plan does not exist.

The deal is actually R1300 per month. A 3% increase is R39 extra per month.

If the 3% is applied after the discount then it's only a R10.47 increase.

Damn. I guess it's in their Ts & Cs to increase contract prices on a whim.

Anyone else struggling with these daily deals they subscribe you to? I unsubscribe to all, next day I'm subscribe to another R5/day service.

And I haven't checked my statement, but I don't think this affects one's price per month. I may be wrong?

Yes, but it's not listed under the plans due for an increase.

I'm on the 300GB+300GB in Sandton. Internet is dogshit today. Youtube keeps buffering and dropping to 144p.

What's weird though is that when I run a speedtest I get 40Mbps down and 20Mbps up. So maybe Youtube is being throttled or there is an international speed issue?

 

[Forum Reader]

Getting worse today. Everything is loading slowly and can't even start a speedtest.

 

[NeonNinja]

No issues here whatsoever.

 

[NeonNinja]

yeah i am sick and tired of youtube dropping to 80 Kilobits It making me Xtremely unhappy and miserable

Oh. What have we become...

 

[Dan C]

what device are you using ? Huawei B535?!

B535 is probably the worst router ever made !

 

[Forum Reader]

are you using unrestricted APN or internet apn?

It might have been something to do with my work laptop. When I restarted the speeds were fine again.

Cn't be worse than the Alcatel

Can't say, but I had 2 B535's and both were really bad compared to even my MIFI router. B618 is way way better.

I'm not following. I have 2 x B535 and I don't have any issues.

So disappoint with this midnight speedtest. Double this during the day. May have something to do with load shedding.

Is the 400gb deal for R349 5g ready or do I need to call in and activate? I tested my sim and 5g speeds are quite constant (5Mbps) and terrible. Even lte is faster. I tested on on my samsung device and huawei modem. Results were consistent.
