8ta today (23 June 2011) launched a data promotion which significantly undercuts any other mobile broadband offering currently available on the SA market.<\/p>\n

8ta launched two data products, a 10GB data bundle priced at R199 per month and a 10GB + 10GB Midnight Surfer service priced at R299 per month.<\/p>\n

Both services are available on 24 month contracts. 8ta’s 10GB + 10GB service offers subscribers 10GB of data per month, with another 10GB of data from 00:00 to 05:00.<\/p>\n

8ta’s new pricing is significantly more aggressive than Vodacom, Cell C and MTN’s 2GB promotions priced at R149 per month. It also undercuts Cell C’s 5GB per month data offering priced at R299 per month on contract.<\/p>\n

8ta’s new promotion is jokingly referred to as the ‘Project Hulk’ special because of the aggressive pricing.<\/p>\n

The new 8ta promotion is a data-only special where subscribers have the option of either using their own modem or purchasing a modem from 8ta.<\/p>\n

8ta’s price for a 7.2Mbps modem is R349 while a 21Mbps costs R699.<\/p>\n

Out of bundle data is priced at 30c per MB.<\/p>\n

Users should note that this offer is only available on the 8ta network, and not on MTN roaming.<\/p>\n

The promotion kicks off on Sunday, 26 June 2011, and will only be available for a limited period.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of the most prominent mobile broadband promotions available today.<\/p>\n
