PostPay FlashNet

 New FlashNet Plans

We know at the FlashNet speeds, it’s quite easy to overshoot your included data cap (1st limit). Don’t worry! We will not throttle (reduce) your speed, but once you have reached your 1st limit, we will let you take it to the 2nd limit for just $20, so you can enjoy more mobile broadband freedom. If you exceed the 2nd limit, then we will give you more mobile broadband freedom for just 10 cents per 10MB or part thereof.

Maximum Data Cap

• Upon reaching your maximum data cap on any of the subscribed Broadband plans, your FlashNet account will be barred, unless you make arrangements with Vodafone to open access for additional usage at 10 cents per 10MB or part thereof. (This measure is put in place to safeguard customers from receiving a ‘bill-shock’.)

Examples:

It is very important that based upon your needs and requirements for Internet usage, you sign up to the right plan to avoid a ‘bill shock’ situation. FlashNet offers fast access to Internet and the plans allow you to enjoy mobile broadband freedom without throttled (reduced) speeds. Also note that your total data (GPRS/3G) includes uploads, downloads and browsing. To give some perspective to the amount of data you will use, use the following as a guide: 

1GB is enough to download approximately 35 music tracks, view 50 photos, send 80 emails and browse the web for 12 hours. This plan is suited to light Internet users.

5GB is enough to download approximately 80 music tracks, view 120 photos, send 600 emails and browse the web for 56 hours. This plan is suited to medium Internet users.

10GB is enough to download approximately 160 music tracks, view 240 photos, send 1200 emails and browse the web for 112 hours. This plan is suited to heavy Internet users, especially who stream video and audio files.

The new plans will be effective from 1st July, 2009 and you are urged to subscribe to the right plan. 

For instance, if you use 10GB of data every month, and are subscribed to the $59.95 Broadband Supa plan, you will pay:

Thus, you will be paying $79.95 as opposed to $69.95 for the 10GB Broadband Mega Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that you subscribe to the appropriate plan based on your usage trends and/or requirements for Internet usage.
