The truth is it's become more expensive. Look at it this way; I normally pay 4,299 for the 10Mbps net plus premium (100+) tv channels. After the price drop, net costs 4,099 plus BASIC TV WITH 60 channels. They've basically cut off the better documentary channels, nearly all music channels and cartoons for the kids. To get what I previously paid for, I now have to pay another 500 bob on top. TL;DR - To get what I had previously, I now have to pay 4,600 each month. Smart bastards.

Are you saying that the R10 product has two prices - 4,299 and 4,600? I believe that is a case of discrimination that can be ably prosecuted by a first year Parklands law student (not Moi University law graduate)

Hence 10Mbps = 1.25MBps. Your torrent client likely displays MBs hence the confusion. Hope that helps.

The R10 product is getting replaced with this new thing they're calling 'Infinite 10'. This new product offers less value, under the pretext of a price-drop, hence my complaints. To get all the channels you had previously, you'll have to top up some cash. There's nothing illegal there but I view that in bad taste. I think the new pricing takes effect end of this month as my subscription hasn't been affected yet. And no, I highly doubt they're charging regions differently.
