FTTH price shoot-out: Telkom vs MTN vs Vodacom

MTN has reduced the prices of its fibre data bundles by 50%, with the aim of boosting the competitiveness of its products.
“Customers who sign up for an MTN Supersonic 24-month contract before 1 October 2016 will also receive free installation, a free router, and bonus data bundles that are the equivalent of the bundle option,” said MTN.
Subscribers will also get night-time data, which can be used between midnight and 06:00.
The installation fee for month-to-month MTN fibre contracts has also been decreased, from R3,000 to R999.
