MyISP surprises the market with an uncapped ADSL offering for R159 per month; also undercuts competitors on their 4 Mbps service
MWEB surprised the market two weeks ago with the launch of their affordable uncapped offerings starting from R219 per month.
Since then the ADSL ISP market has seen the launch of numerous competing uncapped offerings, with prices dropping to as low as R196 per account.
The flood of uncapped ADSL offerings at more and more competitive rates however does not seem to be abating. MyISP, well known for their affordable capped ADSL services, have now launch the most affordable uncapped offering of them all.
“Today we are launching our 384 Kbps uncapped service for R159 per month, and our 4 Mbps service for R459. We believe that these services offer probably some of the best deals on the market today,” said MyISP Director Leon Gerber.
“MWEB has done the South African ISP industry and the consumer a huge favour – we are now moving towards international standards,” says Gerber.
Gerber stresses that these services are shaped, and are not necessarily the best offering for all types of users. “For relatively heavy users who want peer to peer services plus fast download speeds our 10 Gig service at R200 pm is still unbeatable value,” said Gerber.
Gerber added that their uncapped services are most suited for households where parents often find that they can’t control their kids’ appetite for data. “Uncapped accounts may be a suitable solution for this environment.”
Gerber added that he is confident that MyISP will have an uncapped service for under a R100 before the end of the month.
The MyISP offering undercuts MWEB’s R219 per month for an uncapped DSL384 account, and is also more affordable than Afrihost’s R197 per month and Axxess’ R196 per month.
