Wow I don't see how they could double their fixed line broadband customers in literally a year in such a competitive low margin market.

There is no chance they can get that broadband growth - they've grown probably 15-20k in the last year, which is impressive but still is on the back of spending millions on marketing and giving away half or Vr broadband matching the trustpowwr type offer.
To grow by more than twice that number is instane, unless they plan on spending tens of millions on advertising, which would be crazy given how low the margin is in broadband.

Surely having a $20/mth postpaid plan would convert a whole bunch of prepay customers... Not sure how it would as to the bottom line and would definitely increase risk. I don't see it feasible to move $19/mth customers to a $30/mth customers in large numbers though

Exactly, why would I pay $10 a month extra to buy myself more minutes and no extra data when I have over 1000 carry over minutes . Pay another $20 and I'll get another 500MB, yeah nah.. I say 'good luck with that'

I'm on the $19 prepay package. Like Lostja I have more call minutes than I can use, unlimited txts (although I send relatively few txts). I might pay more, say $5-10 a month for a decent slug more data. But otherwise, I fail to see any reason to move.
