When 8ta shocked the nation with its "Go Big" data promotion

I got that R199 for 10GB deal, it was awesome. In fact, I still have that account, I am paying R63 pm for it currently.

I still have my 8ta USB 3G dongle.
 
Where others were still offering 5GB for R479. I think Cell C had a special, 5GB for R399 but absolute garbage reception.

I remember now that I did pay more than R199, maybe R249, because I got some 7" Lenovo tablet with the deal, used it as a hotspot (which could last a whole day easily, compared to those silly mifi devices) with my Galaxy S2 and then my Galaxy S5 mini, since dual SIM was not as common back then. It eventually became my data SIM in my Cat S60 phone.
 
I am still using my 8ta pay as you go SIM and get 1 minute free airtime for every 3 minutes someone else phones me.
Some months I don't buy any airtime at all.
 
I got the 5GB x 12 from Cell C at the time. Can't remember the exact price but it worked out similar. They also had a 2GB x 6 I believe.
 
I absolutely loved the 10GB deal. I moved from a 1GB ADSL line which I think also cost R199 per month.
 
I remember going into a Telkom store in 2017 to get that 500GB for R50 night owl special. Telkom's service might not be the greatest but without them the big networks would definitely still be charging R199/GB
 
That's around the time I switched to 8-ta, as it was then. I'm still with Telkom Mobile. I was on Cell-C before that, and it was pretty bad.

R63 for 10gb? Please say how can I get this?
 
Originally got mine in 2012, unfortunately lost all those emails. Where's the days when 20gbs could last a month. I use more in a day now
