Vodacom grows data users to 11.4 million

It's nice to have improvements on the network regarding data, but I'm still not happy about the data costs per megabyte
 
Those are all impressive numbers but wonder how it translates into EBITDA/NP.
 
the R18 billion in profit and these subscriber numbers kinda put into perspective these MyBB broadband conferences and such. They just have to put up a smile and talk through their teeth for a day or two to keep a handful of pesky nerds and geeks happy, and then its back to raking in obscene amounts of money via the most ludicrously overpriced data transfer services known to man.

:\
 
That is a big pile of money. The investors will be happy. There are a lot of idiots out there that are staying at vodacom and paying big bucks for data......and yes i am one of them. still on topup.........*hit head againts the wall*
 
So even with Cell C and MTN's aggressive price cuts on data, Vodacom still grew massively? Either South Africa is full of idiots or Cell C and MTN is doing something wrong.

As long as they grow we will not see a reduction in data tarrifs soon.
 
Nah I reckon its because so many south african consumers will pay the extra premium to stick to what they know.

Vodacom is actually the only service provider that has 3G in my area, so even if the other providers have good deals I wont be able to use it with Edge.
 
So... there are 11.4 million users who can afford the prices we pay for DATA?

I can't even imagine it...

I got the ISP package and damn, the prices of more data are hectic!
 
I'm at a B&B near Kokstad and only getting edge speeds. Come on Vodacom! I need my 3G ;)
 
I've stuck with Vodacom data for a long time simply because their network is excellent, and speeds/ping are stable almost everywhere. Thumbs up to you guys, good job.

This. Vodacom has the best 3G coverage, some of us have no choice. :-(
 
You can add 4 more numbers to your growing customer base. I am moving 4 MTN contracts over this year to Vodacom. Even though I think they are pricey, they do offer the best network coverage, as some readers already mentioned. MTN is more expensive with a poor network. I am tired of the MTN network always lingering on Edge. Not interested in Cell C, 8ta or all the other. I am tired of sub-standard networks while they pay fat bonusses to their executives. At least Vodacom is investing in their networks and it shows.
 
If it was 1000 Terrabytes in a day or week with that many towers I would of been impressed.
