Why? Users are plural, therefore have, not has.

Its a Subject-Verb agreement. The verb of a sentence must agree with the subject in number and in person.

Yes, that's correct.
Subject is users i.e. plural, therefore users have, not users has ...
I have just done a grammar check in Office, and it clearly states HAS. I did it online as well, and when I type the sentence with HAS, it does not show an error. Maybe both ways are correct, but I stand by has.

My version of Office accepts both version. Go figure.
This site says I'm right, but then i wouldn't post it if it said otherwise
.
If I enter the full text as per your original post, has is accepted. If I add a comma after view (which I feel was implied), then the site suggests have.
What do you think it should be if a comma is added as suggested?

In http://mybroadband.co.za/news/Business/9407.html - the broadband tax article:
"will call less often or for less long"
I appreciate the flow of using "less" for both frequency and duration, but that phrase is just horribly wrong, grammatically speaking.

I think correcting mistakes is limited to articles written by mybb.

Article dated 22 September 2009 states: "...Neotel has crossed R2.2 billion in terms of consolidated annualised revenue for the operating year..."
Article dated 22 September 2009 states: "...Neotel today announced that it has surpassed the R 2.5-billion mark in terms of consolidated annualized revenue for the operating year..."
That's a R300-million revenue increase in a very, very short time.

It is indeed 
Press release stated R 2.2billion, but Pandey told the press that it is actually R 2.5billion...must have been a nice contract which was signed recently
