Free 3G modem and data with your ADSL
Consumers have been treated to the best broadband deals ever in South Africa in 2010, and with increasing competition in the market, the aggressive pricing is unlikely to stop.
Telkom is the latest company to sweeten its broadband deals to attract customers, and is offering all new Telkom SIMPLE subscribers a free 3G USB modem and 500 MB of data (once off) when they sign a 24 month contract.
Telkom SIMPLE currently offers 24-month contract subscribers the following:
- An analogue phone service
- DSL384 access
- 1GB of blended data & 10GB of local data thereafter
- Free landline calls after hours and over weekends
- Free ADSL modem
- Free installation
- Free 3GB email account
- Free 3G USB modem with 500MB of data (once-off)
Telkom has long promised that they will start offering bundled ADSL, mobile data and telephony offerings, and this promotion may give an indication of things to come.
Although the 8ta service is essentially a standalone service at this stage – and essentially a way for 8ta to attract more data subscribers – Telkom is making sure that they get a Telkom ADSL line and an 8ta service into people’s homes.
If a subscriber has all the necessary hardware and active subscriptions it may be easy to up-sell such a customer to a fully converged ADSL, telephony and mobile broadband solution in future.
