The year is off to a good start for those looking for mobile broadband, with 8.ta announcing  reduced broadband rates for its Once-Off Internet packages as well as its Post-paid Internet packages.
 
Additionally, 8ta has revised its contract terms, which now include month to month, 12 and 24 months options. The month to month contract excludes a modem while the 12 and 24 months contracts will include a modem.
 
Once the monthly recurring Post-paid Internet package has been depleted, users will be charged an out-of-bundle rate of R0.30 per MB, while the Once-off Internet subscribers will be charged an out-of bundle rate of R1 per MB.
 
Post-paid and Once-Off internet subscribers will further benefit from the following value added services:
· Free 8.ta email account with 5 GB mailbox, giving users access to 25 GB online storage and free access to the online Microsoft Office suite, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
· Send 5 SMSs daily and receive 50 FREE SMSs to use on that day.
· 8·ta also provides users with a ‘safety net’ to check their balances on the self-service portal and via USSD and make out of bundle purchase decisions in real-time, using the redirect functionality.
· Users will further receive a free call-out and support services with every 3G data modem purchased.
 
 
 
 
 
“Today 8.ta has reduced its broadband pricing, responding to the need for affordable broadband internet in the South African market. Existing 8.ta internet subscribers will automatically be migrated to the new price plans, and after their contracts are up for renewal they can also opt to subscribe on a month to month or 12 months contract basis,” says Managing Executive of Telkom Mobile, Amith Maharaj.
