    Cell C takes a knife to broadband prices

    Cell C has introduced new mobile broadband promotions, effectively cutting the cost of some of its products in half.

    The new promotions, which will be available until the end of July, cut the prices of two post-paid data options and one prepaid data package.

    For prepaid customers, Cell C is offering its 24GB Sim-only package (2GB/month for 12 months) for R1 299 once-off, down from R1 999. A version with a 21,6Mbit/s USB modem now costs R1 999, from R2 999 previously.

    On the post-paid side, Cell C is offering a 500MB Sim-only package for R49/month, down from R109/month previously. With a 7,2Mbit/s modem included, the cost is R69/month.

    A 2GB Sim-only post-paid offering will now cost R99/month, down from R279/month, or R119/month with a 7,2Mbit/s modem.

    A 24-month contract must be signed for the post-paid options.

    The out-of-bundle rate on all the promotional packages is 39c/MB.

    “We promised better data prices, and this is our first shot at offering the consumer a much better deal,” says Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig.  — (c) 2012 NewsCentral Media
