Me too, is this for new customers only I wonder?
Buggered if I am giving them £40 to stay on 1 month contract.
Wonder how they going to upset me a little more by trying to enforce another contract change on me that I did not request, yet again!!

Just rung 602444 and they've stated that there will be NO traffic shaping at all on the new packages.

I guess the brave ones that change will tell us if that's true or not lol.

I'd be crazy to change as I'm on option 1 so the equivellant 'Mid' package would only give me a TOTAL 10GB allowance for the entire month, then they  wanna charge me £47 for a monthly contract (which I have now cos I'm out of contract).

I get 850KBps from around 2am to (sometimes) 2pm so it just makes no sense to change - unless they start massively reducing the speed on a daytime too.

Just rang  602444 myself and have been told that the launch is being delayed and that they are not allowed to discuss the new terms or how we change or not as the case may be, bloody typical--at least i am out of contract he he he

We asked for better traffic shaping - they (well until we know otherwise) give us no traffic shaping but then make the limits so small they're near useless, unless you choose the most expensive option and only download at night (50GB daytime limit would be reached in a few days).

Classic Karoo...

They talk of additional charges over 50GB  but state   75GB , surely even Krappo couldn't be this incompetent, this surely must be an April 1st joke

I can see they've now fixed that typo - it's saying 75GB.

I also noticed they've removed the previous reference to the packages being for NEW customers - it's mysteriously disappeared with no mention of it anywhere now.

@ bob - in theory yes as they say no shaping - but the speed will ofcourse be reliant on network load etc - also at that speed you would very quickly reach the limits they have placed on all the accounts, eeven though on the most expensive option they offer free overnight use - which we all get now anyway lol

Notice also that the Lite and Mid don't seem to have FREE off peak like the Pro does.

So thats basically unusable or expensive, nice choice..

I don't think I will bother.

LOL
