Sounds logical but unfortunately totally wrong analogy
1st Point ==> Penny-wise pound foolish means trying to save a few cents now but may lose out more as a whole or in the long run, which in this case in theory I am actually paying more than you based on per-day basis, if I multiply 8K vnd x 30 days, then I would be actually paying much more than your 70k vnd 30days package.
2nd Point ==> The reason I picked daily rates is based on practicality since I only stay a few days each time so no point to subscribe to an auto-renewal 30 days package. When I choose daily package it does not means that I will be surfing at a lower speed or lousier network than your 30 days package, so how could I lose out as a whole or in the long run leh????
3rd Point ==> a good example would be most people trying to get better exchange rates but are staying at far-flung districts taking a taxi all the way down to D1 or Ben Thanh just to get maybe 20k or 30k more than if they had change in their vicinity, but unfortunately their cab fare would be much more than that 20k or 30k more, this is what I would have termed penny wise pound foolish
(of cos with the exception if they changing a humongous sum rather than the average S$1K)
