Saw this being flogged at the mall on the weekend.

Really need something to replace my Zuku, BUT

Safcom as usual being greedy insist we need bundles. I can see my kids chewing through 50GB in 3 days...leave alone a month.

I think this bigbox will fail.

So sad. Such a product needs unlimited data.

It costs 10k, and seems aimed for the domestic market. If you can pay 10k for a box, you'd expect unlimited data for 4k a month.

Where is my reasoning wrong?

To me 50GB is unlimited. Plus free You Tube for three months. I do not know what those kids and You Tube do to my bundles but it is a constant cause of friction in my house. At least there will be a three months reprieve. It's worth it if it works as promised.

I'm telling you, the kids will finish that 50gb in 3 days max.

This big box is a midro class priced product, with masufferer bundles. You want to sell hardware for 10k, but dont have unlimited?

FAIL.

Does this box have free Free to Air FTA channels where one doesn't need the bundles?
