from allyoucaneat was a bad plan

i could be getting 30 gigs for 199 nealy 300 less than i am now

why o why did i sign a 12 month contract lol

you guys where right grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
At least you had the cheaper months in the beginning and it did work out better than the UUnet debacle so it wasnt all that bad a choice. How many months do you have left?

Surprised we havent heard anything from AYCE about price cuts . . .
 
killadoob, this is what we were trying to get you to understand for the past few months. Why we were so against contracts. ayce don't have to lower their prices and you then can't do anything about it - you're stuck in a contract for another 7 or 8 months. At the moment they are R280 more expensive than Web Africa.

Although I personally have no faith in ayce, they might very well surprise everyone and lower their prices next month. So don't give up hope.
 
I'll never ever bee so lucky (AYCE Lower ther prices).

I should really go and buy some teklom shares now so that that company can crumble and crash to the ground.
 
yea 480 was a good price at the time

well if ayce dont drop their price i can assure you of one thing all the customers they have now when their contracts run out wont sign with them thats for sure

i know i wont

ayce has been great got nearly 120 gigs outta them in 4 months with no problems what so ever just wish they would do the right thing now and drop their price as well

i wonder if ayce new the price's would drop thats why they went with the 12 month contract?

Thats a good question. I'd also like to know the answer to that.

What about those poor sods who signed up when they were charging R980 for 30GB? As stated in another thread, it looks like ayce have been making an absolute killing. @ 480 p/m they were still making profit. So @ R980 a month they were making a killing.

So, if they don't drop their prices to compete with other ISP's, it does prove that the contract was used to trap people. But as I said before, I really do think they might surprise everyone by dropping prices. Afterall, that is the RIGHT thing to do.

that's how contract works.
home renters are also binded to contract (normally 12 months).
contract is for the providers and not for the customers for sure.
 
My take on contracts is that there must be some type of perk attached to it, for me to sign in. Here in the US, if you want DSL but don't want to sign a contract you pay $50 a month for it and you have to buy your own modem. If you sign a contract, you only pay $15 a month, and while we are about we will throw in a top quality modem too for free. I have never had a problem signing a contract with those savings.

if it was $15 pm for a BROADBAND, I would love to sign a 48 months contract... :)

How long are the contracts (typically) in the US?
 
Contracts here are 12 months, and require a $150 to get out of it in the event you need to cancel out early, it is really a no brainer, seen as though after 5 months of having the service you already have the $150 savings in your pocket, if you do need to cancel.
 
Interesting. At least the 'doob is big enough to admit his myopia, and has certainly raised his esteem in my eyes, despite his previous contrary and misguided stance. Very notable that the provider concerned has still not volunteered the reasoning behind their need for contracts, nor taken a position concerning contractual liability in the light of the recent price wars - it's now clearly evident why. Prospective future ADSL clients would justifiably steer clear of this provider.
