Upgrade or downgrade??

<p>I have been on a R199 10GB+10GB package on Telkom Mobile for a good 4 years now. I recently received an sms saying that I am due for a promotional upgrade. Upon contacting the call centre, I was told that the options I have are to "upgrade" to the exact same package, but for R299!!! Are you kidding me? Essentially I am being asked to pay more for the same thing I already have. I have never experienced something like this in my life.</p>

Basically the response is exactly what I said originally - Telkom wants me to "upgrade" by paying more for the same thing that I already have. Telkom - rather do not call it an upgrade, instead something like "forced price increase", at least be transparent.
