WebAfrica New SAIX ADSL Accounts

Odd how these providers are all springing up all of a sudden.

Now is there anybody from these ISP's who is willing to put their cocks on a block and promise us that come 1 Aug when Telkom supposedly introduces new tariffs that we are not all going back to 3GB accounts like in the old days.

I keep hearing rumors to this effect ... how watertight are their arrangements with SAIX in this respect ???.
 
Well, one thing is for sure, they are all obviously working along the same price lines - with small price differences here and there.

They obviously know something we don't, otherwise they would not be offering these deals. My gut feeling tells me to expect very little from Telkom come August 1st, possibly the commercial 1mbit line (definately not a home 1mbit) and another 5 to 10% reduction in the other ADSL packages. IOW, ADSL line rental isn't going away any time soon.

why make it ex vat
For business and individuals that are vat registered as they can claim vat back from the tax man. So thats the price they end up paying albeit indirectly
 
what about ppl at home they cant claim it back

you dont see axxess or allyoucaneat offering their stuff ex vat why?
 
They are primarily offering it to home users....well except for Axxess uncapped through Internet Solutions.

Good offers though :)
 
I think those prices are still waaaay to expensive! +- R250 for 3GB is absolutely pathetic! It should be R250 for 30GB of data.

Yes, well in context they are good offerings. The ISP's can't offer 30GB @ R250 because of Telscum...but at least these offerings are better than what this chap was doing ( 7 X 3GB accounts :eek: )
 
I agree there... but if you take a look, you are not allowed to have more than one person using the account with the Web Africa offering. This would mean if I want to share my ADSL line with the family, we ALL have to have an account. As usual, a BIG RIP-OFF :\

As long as we don't revert back to 3 Gig accounts, I'm not too concerned. After using a 10 gig (and this month 20 gig) account, there's no way in hell I can go back. I'd cancel my ADSL completely if that happened.

Uhm.. It's called a router?
 
well at least there seems to be some sort of competition between the ISPs which is only good news for us users :D
 
The other great thing about WA is you can pay with a Credit Card! No debit orders or faxing in things. I know it is not a big issue but hey. These guys have some of the best support I have ever dealt with.
 
Well, looks like the news is out on our SAIX offerings, just want to clarify a few points and misinformation that seems to have already started flying around.

The reason we exclude VAT from our prices, as DFantom pointed out, is so that businesses that are VAT registered can get a better idea of the "true" cost to them, as we offer these packages to both businesses and end-users. To work out the VAT inclusive cost (ie. for end users) you can just multiply the figure by 1.14. If you calculate VAT into our costs you'll notice that we are still in many cases below the prices offered by other providers.

The 1 user limit is the same limit employed by the other ADSL providers, it merely indicates that you cannot connect simultaneously from work ADSL and home ADSL on the same account, it does not mean you cannot have as many users accessing the internet from home simultaneously. This can be done through a simple router or internet connection sharing setup.

We are working hard on providing added value to our ADSL service, better statistics monitoring, more diverse packages, etc. while maintaining the price point we have set.
 
I can say that I have used other 30GB saix accounts and this is 100% the same.
