Aggressive pricing on new 3G/ADSL service

This looks bl@@dy brilliant! Finally an innovative data product in SA! :D :D :D

So for R329 I can have my usual 5GB ADSL cap for home, and from that I can draw out up to 1GB 3G data while on the move. And rollover to make it that much sweeter. Exactly what I needed... wonder what happens if you try to make voice calls on that SIM.

Edit: Hmm, not that much information on their website. Do they send you a new SIM? Activate some setting on your existing SIM? Tell you to use some different APN?

Not bad at all...

Kudos to Sainet for this product....
V innovative and actually something thats v tempting for me considering I'll be moving soon and would need something like this while Telkom messes around with my line move.
 
AWESOME!

Been waiting for this EXACT product for ages!

I'll hear what the company says about changing my package when I get to work.

How the hell did they stay under the radar with their 3G rollover? Or is it new?
 
I like this very much, especially the 3G roll over. I just signed up with another ADSL ISP from 1st March, looks like I am going to have to make another change for 1st April. Well done Sainet!!!:D
 
Great stuff!!! Hopes it makes some companies sit up and take notice, rather than roll over and play dead...
 
Good stuff this... hopefully other ISPs do the same !!
 
Looks like it is month to month unless you want to pay R75 per month X 24 for the modem?
If it is month to month I am signing up this morning!
 
if MTN is able to give its resellers data rollover, whats the big cop-out with its customers? and where's v3G so he can explain to us again why voda cant do it?
 
Bravo! These are the kinds of innovations we need to see more of.
 
Funny how it is the smaller ISPs that offer the better offers. You would think a large company (if they actually cared about their customers) could offer these products at lower rates and with better features (like bandwidth rollover)

How is it that an ISP can offer better prices than the network they run their services over? Easy: Greedy bloody large companies that will do everything in their power to squeeze their hostages for every cent they can! :mad:

+1,000,000 to Sainet
 
Rollover is great so long as you have data to roll over. Can't seem to find how much additional bandwidth is on the site, can any of you?

According to http://www.sainet.co.za/flexibill.htm additional bandwidth is R65/GB.

It's unclear to me how the ADSL and 3G caps work together? Do you get 1.5GB of ADSL plus 250MB of 3G as the website implies, or one or the other as the article implies?

I understand it as such: Take the SMART-5 (5 GB + 1 GB) as an example. When you use the account on ADSL it will eat away at your 5GB "pool" of bandwidth at a rate of 1MB per 1MB ADSL used. But should you switch to 3G at any time the rate increases to 5MB per 1MB 3G/HSDPA used. This is how I see it - they'll need to include a short FAQ on that product page to clear these things up though.

That's pretty much how it works. 3G usage eats more of your base cap.
