There's definately a niche market here.
I got my edge modem on a very affordable R75 contract. Yes the R2/meg is expensive, but if you factor in a)Telkom fixed line installation, b)Dialup costing model (line rental plus time spent) then for my home purposes, a messenger, email (with very little browsing) then R75 per month is very reasonable.
Fit for Purpose I'd say.

I can't fathom why anyone would want to pay Cell C's data rates. You can get better performance for the same price from Vodacom or MTN. Virgin makes sense if you're on a very tight budget and only using small quantities of data each month. Past a certain point you may as well get better performance for the same money by going with MTN or Vodacom.
I'd like to support Virgin and Cell C, but they're going to have to improve their performance to at least 3G.

After suffering CellC connection problems this weekend, I am positive about the following:
a) as and when my various CellC contracts expire, the WILL be moved to a new supplier.
b) That supplier will NOT BE Virgin, because they are connected with CellC and Richard Branson has proved for once and all that it is easy to blow your mouth off about bad service, but when your companies deliver the WORST service ever provided in South Africa, you just turn a blind eye to it and do nothing!
