Substantial price cuts…

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is looking forward to the price cuts that will stem from the meeting Vodacom Senior Executives will hold this week, in which Vodacom’s broadband tariff plans will be discussed. It will be interesting to see whether MTN will this year be the first mobile broadband provider to announce substantial broadband price cuts or if Vodacom will surprise us and take the lead.

A tip to the Average Joes:  Do not tie yourself in long-term contracts (12, 36 and 48 months) at this stage. It is expected that the cost of bandwidth is going to come down even more later this year, and then you don’t want to pay more for bandwidth by being stuck in a long-term contract. In addition, the current economic turmoil can cost you your job and then you don’t want to be stuck in any contract, especially a long-term contract. The reality is that it’s easy to lose one’s job in these crazy times.

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) welcomes Vodacom’s move to provide HSUPA at no additional cost to all their Mobile Broadband subscribers.
