4 day Uncapped Express+ ADSL for R99

If you don't like it, don't use it. It is the easiest thing in the world to ignore it and move on with your life instead of crying over it like some whiny baby. Seriously. Grow up and get a life. :mad:

Well done to Axxess for making extra bandwidth available to users at a great price. Please ignore all the big babies on this forum. They are not used to being without their mother's teat for very long. :D
 
Great, probably going to ruin the experience for those of us who actually pay R999 for the whole month. :(
 
If only one good thing comes from the Telkom monopoly, it would certainly be that SA ISP's have learnt how to think outside the box. Me thinks some of our local ISP's can certainly go make a go of it over the seas with their creative way of doing things.

So yeah, I guess nice one Axxess, keep at it.

Thats the point I was going to make. I left axxess because of the degradation in service to cost and I still hear of issues through this forum and yet they now want to sell accounts for 4 days which will have the sole purpose of degrading their capacity further?

I see this as a cry for help due to the lost customers on the express side with the option of other uncapped accounts. I loved express+ but for someone who is stuck between being a heavy downloader and a normal user it was quite pricey. Mweb doing a couple 100gigs a month is fine for me at the price.

my thoughts exactly!!
 
“If you do not want to continue with this service after 31 May 2010, you can set the account to expire from your control panel,” Axxess says on its website.

What a load of non-sense! The amount of hassles i've had trying to discontinue a service is downright disgusting.
3 cancellations and suddenly i'm getting charged for ANOTHER month. 3 times in a row! Never again......
 
for R100 I'll give this a go.
should be able to finish downloading my steam library for under the price of a case of beers.
Not bad!
 
Theres alot of bitching here about this offer.

The facts are: we are not in Hong Kong or some other superfast adsl country. This is Africa, and currently we are behind in terms of this specific technology.
The ISPs are still businesses and they need to make a profit. i dont beleive their margins are ridiculiously high (excuse spelling) unlike Telkom who bend you over at evey opportunity.

The Facts are: the people who have purchased the service and have commented here are saying its working to their expectations.
Judge the service comparing it to what else you CAN get, not what you cant. Then decide if its worth it to you.
 
Axxess Uncapped Express+ FTW!!!! I've been using this account for over 2 years now and I'm still loving it. Only uncapped unshaped offering that I can use.
 
I would go for this, im really not happy to sign for 4 days and then have to cancel- I dont trust the fact that if something goes wrong I may have to pay R999 the next month, and hten fight with them to get it back. If they offered this as a once off thing i would happily go for it
 
Would this be worthwile on a 384 line? I don't think so. I'd rather just get the 199 odd uncapped and mosey along for the month instead of rush the 4 days.
 
Also purchased the R99 account now... Just look at where you need to cancel the account so that you don't get billed R999 for June.. The cancellation page says cancel by end of June, meaning you will still be charged R999.

But I called Axxess and the guy said I should just speak to the accounts dept tomorrow so that i can cancel it and won't get billed for June.

I sent them on online ticket and they said they hadn't accounted for people paying by CCard in terms of auto-renewals, but the guy did mark my account to expire at the end of may. So should all be right. Just sent them a support ticket on their customer control panel. And the accounts team should sort it out for you.

Normally I can get 80 Gigs on a weekend from Friday night to Monday morning 8 am. So you should be able to do it.

But.... speeds are poor at the moment. I should be getting 420 kbps.... but I am only averaging between 200 to 300 kbps.

Probably cos it is month end... or maybe due to the current internet problems.
 
Thanks ChadB.. gonna do the same.

Gary, I'm at 26gb so far, not even a day yet... looks like I'll make it... :)
