Hi Peter,

We only stock the PAYG Modems with the new tarrif now, which is 3GB
instead of 1GB, to allow our customers to get much more data for their
money. The older K3565 may still be available from certain outlets.

All the best,

Fascinating insight into who lurks here.

s/our customers to get much more data for their/us to get money more
frequently from our customers/

If your statement was true, you could offer both choices.

Pity - the 1 gb �15 non expiring sort excellent for the occasional
business traveller (like me) who might be away for odd days and for a
week or so every couple of months. �15 for 3gb means �180 a year, Ok
for students and the like in temporary accommodation, but too much to
pay for someone already paying for home broadband and a mobile phone.
Might as well find a coffee shop with wifi or pay the hotel rates for
wi-fi.

With it, Voda had a unique product in the market. As the new ones
expire, there is nothing to give vodafone a USP advantage over 3 or
whoever.

I presume this is not an official Voda post, as they don't have a web
Realtions (sic) team, but I can't see why they couldn't offer and
promote both products. The 1gb non expiring should have a higher up
front cost to cover the kit, the 3gb expiring might be cheaper
initially. Voda could structure it so that both are profitable and they
gain market share.

The next natural progression will probably be that due to the previous
service is not being used much, it will be discontinued, and existing
customers will be offered a switch to the "much more data for their money"
service.
