Telkom recently launched an\u00a0LTE double-data promotion<\/strong><\/a>, offering customers double the anytime and Night Surfer data allocations on several packages.<\/p>\n

The double-data deals follow the launch of a similar offering from ISPs selling Rain LTE-A packages.<\/p>\n

Telkom stated that should a subscriber sign up for a qualifying package, they will receive double data for the 24 months of their contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe promotion will last until January 2018,\u201d said Telkom.<\/p>\n

Rain\u2019s promotion sees customers receiving double their monthly data until November 2018. Users must sign up before the end of November 2017 to take advantage of the promotion.<\/p>\n

Telkom\u2019s SmartBroadband Wireless LTE packages are available on contract and prepaid, with the 24-month contracts including a free SIM and connection, and a free\u00a0Huawei B315 LTE Wi-Fi router.<\/p>\n

Rain\u2019s month-to-month packages require users to purchase a\u00a0Huawei B618 LTE-A router, which\u00a0Afrihost is now selling for R999<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as part of its Rain double-data promotion.<\/p>\n

Data top-ups for Afrihost\u2019s Rain packages are sold at R10 per GB and are valid for 30 days, while Telkom offers users a\u00a0500GB Night Surfer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0add-on for R50.<\/p>\n
