Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Could someone please clarify out-of-bundle data pricing for Fatpipe Lite for me please.

I see a figure of R5/GB quoted in the "Please Note" bit of the Fatpipe (non-Lite) page here: https://www.voxtelecom.co.za/fatpipe but I don't see any figure quoted on the Fatpipe Lite page here: https://www.voxtelecom.co.za/fat-pipe-lite

Is the Fatpipe Lite OOB data also charged at R5/GB or is it a higher rate? I seem to remember a price of R10/GB being talked about in the past but I'm not sure if that is a higher figure specifically for Fatpipe Lite users, a higher figure before Vox cut OOB prices across all products, or maybe just me misremembering stuff.

Small suggestion - it might be worth adding the OOB data pricing to the "Please Note" section of the Fatpipe Lite description on the web site to clear up confusion.

Never use OOB, it's really expensive.
Rather buy an additional account and cancel later, it's cheaper.
 
What will be the ideal package for me?, I am using around 170gig, I am sure 150, if I am careful, will be enough OR should I go uncapped, both on a 4mpbs line. I am looking at the price and do not want to pay too much

wait until tomorrow and see what is announced, it may well fit your use case.
Rumours suggest it will be FatPipe 150G with unmeted midnight to 6am use.

Been sick lately, I will escalate the cape town latency issues again.

As far as the announcement tomorrow ... it's close! just a few more hours.
 
Yeah, I read that earlier... rather someone messaged me about it.

Damian mentioned a few things which have been hinted at here, there's been an early post on our Facebook wall as well. But neither mention the little easter egg.

The question is why are you and Damian both sick?
 
Edit: i switched to axxess and all ping's are perfect... will avoid gaming with vox for a while i guess. Infact, got 11ms right now to a local game server... Never seen that with vox...

And the latency of last night has started again now around 6pm (was fine earlier today)....

All local battlefield 4 servers have a minimum ping of over 100ms.

Don't ping to MyBB. They have something blocking/interrupting it.
 
Hi.
Currently I have a 20gb Afrihost account with the Gig4Gig bolt-on account.
I'm considering moving to a Vox FatPipe account, I think the cheapest option was 75gb at R190
Can I then move my bolt-on account to the new Fat Pipe account?
And more importantly, can I move my bolt on account back to the gig4gig account if I am not happy with the Vox Fatpipe?

Thanks
 
no you cant but you can get a Fat Pipe lite 25GB for R89. And no you cant move anything to anything you need t sign up for a new account and add Bolt On to that separate to the G4G account.
