    Let me guess, it's for new subscribers only?

    I assume so...

    Wright said that they only have 250 of the promotional accounts available, and the company requires a debit order to subscribe to the service.

    And only 250 new subscribers at that. Don't see how this was a real price cut at all, but rather just a slutty advertising move on Openweb's part.

    I signed up end of last month for a 1MB account. Tried it, was not completely happy so asked to cancel a few days later. I now have to give a months calendar notice and worst of all. the account does not even work if I use it Plus it was R149 as appose to the new price.

    +100

    I was pleased to see the 2Mbps pricing is so much better than MWeb's pathetic attempt, but then I saw this is promotional only, NOT a price cut as the heading says.

    What does "1 concurrent ADSL connection – a feature which is standard for uncapped ADSL products." mean. What If I have a pc, laptop a phone that need to connect via the modem, or do I need a proxy server?

    I means that you cannot have the account running on more than one DSL modem at a time, eg. use it from the office DSL and use it from your home DSL at the same time.

    To add my 5c

    I while back I asked nicely to have my account migrated to one on a special, No mention of "New Customers only". They simply moved it, the service was friendly and efficient, and I was moved to the new promotion, no questions asked. I received new login details.

    I must say I am really impressed with the level of service I get from both Afrihost and OpenWeb

    I am sure they would migrate you if you want. The new service is probably based on a different shaping methodology so worth checking out that detail.

    You can give it to me for free and I still won't use it
