60% cheaper high-speed Internet

MWEB to offer high-speed Internet for Durban businesses via new municipal network

 

[rpm]

Now this is encouraging news! Good to see that infrastructure investments are starting to result in lower prices and better service offerings.

 

[LazyLion]

why should the flippin surfer bums, bikini chicks and seagulls get the benefit??

everybody knows that nobody actually does any work in Durban.

 

[MielieSpoor]

Sounds good. Would've been good if this could happen elsewhere.

 

[Necuno]

interesting.... but good

+- R90000/pm* for a 4Mb link.

* Pure internet, no local.

Hmm nice, finally Durban does something right with their money...

[Le^stat]

WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!

Those blerry bunnychows reap the benifits first?!?!

*sigh*

Maybe one day CT will follow suit...

I wish these articles were more specific. There is no mention of cost, timing, or area of deployment. It's like a conversation at a bar after a few beers, when almost everything you hear is interesting at the time, but completely useless in the stark light of day the next morning.

My problem exactly...

MWEB will offer bandwidth from 512Kbps to 1Gbps

Gigabit... wonder how much that would cost

This is probably more bullshît politics from that idiot ANC city manager, Sutcliffe. We have seen nothing to indicate that any such thing exists in Durban, or will in the near future.

Thats still expensive compared to ADSL!

 

[Equinox]

MWEB will offer bandwidth from 512Kbps to 1Gbps

1 Gbps to where exactly? To the municipality switch?

 

[stoke]

Details pweeze.

 

[sunsoffun]

1 Gbps to where exactly? To the municipality switch?

Exactly.... that doesn't make sense to me. You connect to their switch at a max speed of a 1Gbps... but then they connect to the backbone of SA at what ever interconnect agreement that they have with Telkom... so you back down to 56kbs. Right/Wrong?

Sounds like a bit of MWEB propaganda to me.... need more details than this!

i think its links for businesses between site A and B (within the area that said fibre network covers. no way they will have full 1gb pipes to the web. this aint japan. lol
