Afrihost has launched a new uncapped mobile data deal for less than R500 per month and slashed the price of its 100GB package from R1,000 to R475.
Internet service provider Afrihost has launched an Air Mobile uncapped data deal for R497 per month.
Similar to other uncapped mobile data offers on the South African market, the service is a shaped and prioritised product. Throughput is throttled after reaching certain usage thresholds, with Afrihost saying the first 100GB will be consumed at “full” speed. Although it does not define “full speed”, unthrottled mobile data is typically consumed on a “best effort” basis.an average download speed of 79.27Mbps in MyBroadband Insights’ Mobile Network Quality Report for the second quarter of 2022.Between 150GB and 200GB consumption, the maximum speed will be capped at 4Mbps. For any further usage after that, speeds are throttled to 2Mbps.Its 50GB package, which was priced at R500, has also had its price reduced.
Another feature of the uncapped package is the ability to transfer up to 50GB of mobile data to other Afrihost Air Mobile SIMs per month, in 500MB denominations.The ISP has also changed when transferred data expires. It will now only happen at the end of the following month, instead of the same month.The data allocations and pricing of Afrihost’s new Air Mobile data-only packages are shown in the table and infographic below.
