FNB Connect today announced that their ADSL customers will be able to access YouTube for free for 2 months.

As from 6 May - 1 July 2011, customers who are registered for FNB Connect Surf will browse the world's most popular video viewing site 24/7 to upload, view and share videos. YouTube has grown into one of the world's top 3 search engines with billions of views and searches annually. It has also been at the forefront of popular culture and viral campaigns globally.

"Broadband access is reaching more consumers and we are in a digital age in which multi-media and social media are becoming more widespread and popular in South Africa and worldwide. As part of our innovative and customer centric approach, we are enabling our customers to be part of this growing trend by giving the free access to YouTube," says Farren Roper, Head of Products and Markets at FNB Connect.

Since inception FNB Connect has aligned itself with digital and social media trends with registered Connect Surf ADSL customers already being able to browse popular social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter for free in the evenings from 19:00 - 23:00.

"Between our existing free social networking browsing and now the free YouTube promotion, we aim to satisfy most of our customers' social networking needs. YouTube has revolutionised advertising, broadcasting, music and multimedia in general and we want our customers to be a part of this experience. YouTube is considered by many bandwidth users to be a 'luxury' item because of the costs associated with video streaming and we are proud to be able to spoil our clients in this manner," concludes Roper.
 
Naaaiiiissseee

Now Vodacom should follow with something similar. Just give me MyBroadband for free please ......
 
I think it make FNB seem like a more "switched on" bank. In tune with the trends of today.
 
Now that is something innovative! Thats what we need here, ISP's (well in this case a bank) giving us reasons (like this) to move to them. Youtube is indeed a huge part of what a lot of people use the net for. I see a lot of people (the ones who love Youtube) moving to FNB connect just for a few months.
And yes, MyBroadband should be free on all ISP's :D
 
@rpm and VodacomData:
deal ... ?
MyBB for free?

Doubt it though. Can't even browse the entire Vodacom website for free
 
FNB is the business end of Banks . . ebucks = free money + free bandwidth
If you're not sold on FNB yet......*sigh
 
Youtube Throttled After awhile.

Just a Note, I have been Youtubeing solid since yesterday morning. I have a 10Mbit line. In the beginnig I got about 900KB's on my youtube downloads, late last night I noticed they dropped to 54 KB's, I thought it was a fluke, but now I went to download another video and noticed that the speed's still at 54 KB's.

I knew there would be some kind of catch.

I currently still have 0.656GB remaining of my 1 GB Account.

Just thought to share my experiences on this.
 
yeah its usually just 500 odd megabytes free surfing allowed >.>

Just read the fine print
 
The T & C's read max 1Gb/day otherwise they will remove you from the promotion.
