That's pretty good and quite a flexible package. Might be a good alternative to prepaid.

 

[CrzWaco]

Bronze 1GB (local only)
SET-UP FEES:

R50.00
COST:
R25.00 p/m
THEREAFTER R20 / GB

Hmm do I read this correctly but dam R25 for 1 gig local then after that R20? Are they mad?

The setting the limit is pretty interesting and they only bill you for what you have used not bad.

Vox is becoming like our mobile providers [ what you see is not really what you get ] Smoke and mirrors !

1GB ADSL R50 \ GB
Monthly fee R50
Setup Fee R50
Period 6 months

Average home usage example based on 3GB = R50+R16+R2.70 = R68.70 per gig

Not such a great deal - Houdini VOX

 

[RSkeens]

Average home usage example based on 3GB = R50+R16+R2.70 = R68.70 per gig

Are you getting your R16.00 from the R50.00 setup fee divided by 3?

If so, that is not fair, as that's taking into account only 1 month for the setup fee. Otherwise it would be less then after each month and not the same amount.

Where do you see the 6 months?
And the R16 and R2.70?

 

[jirm]

Note this claculation is base on 3Gb usage and a 6 months subsciption. There is a monthly fee of R50 hence the R16 added into the monthly calculation. The R2.70 is the setup fee / 6months and / 3GB. Come on its not that hard. Obviously on larger accounts it will change.

As I understand it the R50 p/m fee includes the first 1GB? Then it comes to R52.70/GB?

Or could be it is just too hard for me ...

 

[labratza]

that does not make sense.

they say R50/gb so why not just make it that. By looks of things it is still cheaper to use MYisp they are the cheapest so far I think or is there someone that is cheaper than them?

and by sounds of things this is more for the user that wants uncapped but only pays per gb, for instances companies that one month they use 5gb and then the next month 12gb due to what ever reason. it is flexiable and also means they never get cut off

 

[matewis]

Splitting the total cost up doesn't make it cheaper.

Line rental + DSL rental + monthly fee + setup fee + GB

I still have to pay everything.

Here's my new ISP plan. R10 / 200MB. It's a steal at only R10 !!!

 

[labratza]

that still works out to R50/GB and who are you going through now?

Wtf is the setup fee all about? Why does it cost R50 to setup a shaped account and R100 to setup an unshaped account? Why is there a setup fee at all?

A con if you ask me. I wouldn't buy just on principle alone because of that setup fee.

Ya wrong. Squirm jirm.

 

[jirm]

Tell me where I am wrong Gatecrasher unless the issue is to complex and a rhyme is all you can up with. Vox is not offering the deal of the year.

 

[MyWorld]

jirm, your calculations make no sense.

R50.00 setup fee divided by 6 months = R8.33 p/m
R50.00 p/m for 1GB
Vat @ 14%

= R8.33 + R50.00 +14%
= R66.49 for a 1GB account.

This goes down if you recon more GB's into the equation of course:
(R50.00 x 3) + R8.33 + 14%
= R180.49 for a 3GB account
= R60.16 per GB effectively.

Still decent I would say.

 

[RSkeens]

jirm, I still have absolutely no idea how you are working it out with the extra R16.00 per gigabyte per month.

As I said before please elaborate where that R16.00 comes from. If I am correct in my assumption that it is derived from the set up fee, then that is ONCE OFF.

 

[Hummercellc]

I should add the R50 already includes VAT

 

[MyWorld]

I should add the R50 already includes VAT

Not according to their site, well, depends on which R50-00 you are referring to?

The setup fee, as far as I can tell, no, but the R50-00 p/m for the 1GB account still needs VAT added according to their sign-up page.

So it is R50-00 p/m for 1GB VAT excluded.

 

[Hummercellc]

if you add it to the shopping cart and check out, it comes to R50 total showing VAT amount of R6.14 now if you add VAT to R50 you get R7....

If you work the VAT back on R50 you get R6.14.

R50X100\114=R6.14

So i donno then?
