Afrihost recently announced that it is reducing its uncapped business ADSL prices following the move of its ADSL subscriber base from the Internet Solutions network to MTN.
“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 said in a press statement.
“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’s new uncapped business ADSL prices raise the question as to how these compare to other prominent ISPs such as MWEB or Telkom Internet.
