*Go to their signup page and use the Promotional Code: MY459183*

I hate to tell you this but how do you the person who uses that is really a Myadsl member.

It could someone who never registers and only lurks about.

[waroop]

I assume you mean, how do we *know* if the person is a myadsl member?

Well the offer is not exclusive to Myadsl members only, viewers are included as well (see original post).

webafrica: This is unbelievable stuff, it really is - big ups to you guys

Two questions (that I dont think have been asked):
1.) You guys have hinted that the ADSL ISP pricing model will change.
I have a feeling its going to become more of a metered service (pay per GB), with local being capped. I also cannot believe that SAIX woul drop prices so much, only to increase them again. Do you guys have any kind of insight to add to this?

2.) Is the promotional period month to month as well?

3.) How/why the hell are you guys doing this? Surely its a loss making exercise? Any official rationale?

OK, so its 3 questions

[WiseCrack]

I just signed up. Thanks for offering this WebAfrica.

Have fun everyone with you 30gb`s.

lol, cool

lewstherin:

1) SAIX has provided no indications so at this point its just a guessing game. It could very well become a metered service, or who knows they could reduce their prices even further. The latter of course being the more unrealistic of the two IMO.

2) Month to month.

3) Remember - this is a promotional offer.

[DVDA]

Wow. This is awesome. I have 2 questions:

1) If I sign up today, is my account immediately active, meaning I get charged for this month?
2) Is there a date before which I have to sign up. Will new signups be valid anytime between now and the 31st October?

In other words, can I sign up today for an account that becomes active on the 1st of August, and not pay for the rest of this month, or should I wait till August 1st?

[WiseCrack]

I have signed up this morning and was surprised to get my login details mailed to me within 5minutes. I thought oops they will start billing me now ,because I have my login details and surely I can login now. I sent webafrica an email and got this reply
Hi XX

We have sent you your details, but you the account will only be active on July 31.

Please let us know should you have any additional queries or if we may be of any further assistance.

I was wondering about that Wisecrack. I only need access from 1 August but was thinking about signing up now.

[Soulburner]
