1Mbps uncapped ADSL for R99

G-Connect slashes its uncapped ADSL prices which come with free Wi-Fi and in-flight Wi-Fi data

If 1 Meg is R99 should that not make 2 meg at the very least R200?

G-Connect highlighted that the promotion is a “limited 3 months offer on uncapped ADSL”.

Meaning only on this price for 3 months (then normal price), or only available at this price for 3 months?

I also tried to click on it at the Promotion page but #Fail, the web designer needs a kick up the #### .

Why is the prices the same for 384/512/1MB ?

Cheaper prices are always welcome but not when things seemingly become unclear.

That comparison table does not make sense?

1MB - R99 - 100Min - Uncapped - Tick - No

Is this 100 Megabytes or 100 minutes of free wi-fi?
Is the tick for the Uncapped?
Then what is the No at the end for?

It's almost as if the left hand column is missing?

Also, AUPs, Contention and throttling methods would help.

Does this mean that the price is only available for 3 months at R99 and there after they hit you with normal price

First thing that came to my mind too. Does anyone know their T&Cs?

This is because Telkom only offers these line speeds... 1MB, 2MB, 4MB (which is 10MB in some areas). So connecting at 6 MB or 8 MB would cost the same as 10MB, because it's really the same line just the ISP cannot guarantee connection speeds for all areas.
