Vodacom's Internet Starter Pack: Modem, data for 12 months, under R400

Let me be the first to call this a COMPLETE FAIL, a complete RIPOFF.

Vodacom: R400 for 1.2GB incl. modem over a 12 month period = R333 per GB :sick::sick::eek:
Cell C: R1499 for 24GB incl. modem over a 12 month perod = R63 per GB
Cell C: R2999 for 60GB incl. modem over a 12 month period = R50 per GB

Vodacom you make me SICK.

I think this is a great offer for the lower end of the market - basically you pay for the modem and get the data free of charge!
 
Pass - not interested. What can you do with 100 meg a month? Not much!
 
100 Megs! Woot! I can watch 4 Youtube Videos. And then what? Back to R200000000 / gig?
 
what they've done is stretched their 1gig data bundle (R289) through a year. Wow if u get 7.5 of these packages at (R399) Then u getting 750megs a month for R3000... What a hit back at Cell C... 5gigs a month for that price... Well done for getting my hopes up vodascum. Drop your fkin data bundle prices.
 
So after 100 MB or half a Windows update, you're back to paying the very high prices for topup databundles. No thanks.
Cell C FTW.

CellC = WTG
 
I am glad vodacom thinks the average user only needs 100mb a month. mybroadband needs to introduce a lame award and present it to vodacom.
 
Vodacon hits back with even higher prices =D

Fscking bastards. How biased is the staff writer to write this as if vodacon is shaking up anything at all.. out of bundle charges is how they will make money here!
 
WTF - Like seriously now this is Vodacom Come back too freaking expensive but wait a second if the USB modem works on CELLC this is a bonus instead of paying R500 for the dongle for the entry cellc bundle :)

Well done, I might just take this offer in case CellC doesn't work in different cities.

How much do the modems cost standalone. Then we can truly work out how much it is per month.

3G USB modem (ZTE K3570z), 100 MB of data per month for 12 months and a SIM pack for a once-off price of R399.

Actually, I may pick up one of these for when I visit places where Cell C has no 3G - for example, I was near Tzaneen this last weekend, no Cell C 3G - but there was VC and MTN 3G.

I may bin the modem, though, I prefer to use a single brand (Huawei), it just makes thing easier.

Edit : Seems to be a real crappy modem, pity that they can't give you a K3565 (Huawei).

+1, I agree. Pathetic article, and no mention on how much you are going to pay after 100Mb is up, probably their usual R2 per Mb rip-off. Stay away from VodaCrap as far as possible. :twisted:
 
No seriously the writer if probably being paid by Vodacom to write crap like this. Please compare apples with apples next time.
