Afrihost eviscerates uncapped, unshaped ADSL prices

Afrihost has reduced the price of its uncapped business ADSL packages by up to 60% following its move to MTN

I would definitely sign up for the 10 meg uncapped unshaped package - alas i do not get 10 meg in all 3 of my houses.

Terms of Service? What is to stop Residential users from signing up for these?

 

[TrueSeeker]

Well that's really, really nice.

1) Is this business packages for 24/7 unshaped uncapped ?
2) Can home users sign up for this?
3) Throttling on P2P traffic?

 

[jackshiels]

Any price cuts for regular uncapped?

*Please Note: Business ADSL accounts are Guaranteed to be completely unshaped and unthrottled during business hours.
We do however reserve the right to, if absolutely needed, de-prioritize Business ADSL bandwidth outside of business hours.

From their website.

p.s. Anyone know what is their "business hours"?

Nothing. If you want to pay a premium for business class services, nobody is going to stop you.

Oh wow. This is something in the right direction. Mweb is looking like it's getting left in the dust. So tempted

I also saw that, should be an extra R100 added there.


Well this seems to be superior if anyone can use it and its totally unshaped!

It's unshaped during office hours, and after hours if the bandwidth stays below a rolling threshold (7 day window). regardless, it will ALWAYS be unshaped and unthrottled during office hours.

 

[skusku]

Afriman can one add this onto an existing package? Have a capped product at the moment.

Okay this is a new one, usually its the other way around regarding throttling during hours. Very interesting.

It's not wrong, just maybe confusing. The 1Mbps package is now R297 (from R697), but existing 1Mbps users are going to be upgraded to the 2Mbps package (which is still cheaper at R397 than their previous R697 package or the previous 2Mbps price of R897)

You can have it one clientzone profile, but it must be signed up as a separate product.

So if I am on the ordinary Afrihost 1Mbps package at R197.00, nothing changes on 1 November?

1Mbps 2Mbps R697 R297 R400 (57%)
2Mbps Same R897 R397 R500 (55%)
