Afrihost has announced that it is reducing its uncapped business ADSL prices by as much as 60%. This follows the company’s move of its ADSL subscriber base from the Internet Solutions’ network to MTN.

“We decided to start passing savings to clients straight away, and are set to delight unshaped, uncapped ADSL users with the lowest business uncapped prices to ever hit the SA market,” Afrihost said in a press statement.

“We will be smashing our own record prices by up to 60%. We are also unilaterally upgrading 384kbps, 512kbps and 1Mbps clients to better speeds at even better prices.”

Afrihost’s existing 1Mbps uncapped business ADSL users will now receive 2Mbps service for R397pm.

“While other prices will drop significantly, 10Mbps is clearly the show-stopper from R2,497pm to R997pm. That’s a saving of just over 60%,” said Afrihost.

Afrihost said that new clients signing up will benefit immediately from the new prices, while existing clients will be billed at the new rates as of 1 November 2012.

Afrihost added that they will be introducing fixed IP addresses for business ADSL soon.
