Better to via Web Africa - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wireless/233355-webafrica-launches-sim-only-rain-lte-a-deals.html

EXACT same pricing plus it's NOT Afrihost.

Win Win!

We're not at a point where we can determine pricing on the Rain network yet.

@Afrifella: Any chances of smaller packages for those who want to use the service as a backup?

25GB + 25GB is the smallest at the moment. How small would you like to see?

well our iburst package was a very reasonable 4+4 midnight data,

maybe something similar like 10+10 for 199 with the router

1GB with topup would be ideal - to be used as a backup link

sure it would be possible, maybe with a SIM only deal,
make it for R60 and people might go for it.

Fair midpoint for failover-use would be R100/10gig package (topup already costs that)
No router included of course or a Router bolt-on price
