Axxess slashes capped ADSL prices

[Jan]

“The big capped ADSL price drop”

Axxess slashed their capped ADSL prices, reduced their ADSL bundle prices and upgraded their hosting clients to solid state drives.

Nice. I now eagerly await the move from other ISPs....

I note that Axxess' package deals aren't quite as attractive as they were before though. Seems they used to heavily subsidise the lines.

Nice one Axxess. Glad to see you guys have not forgotten about the Capped account users

My Afrihost combo 2Mbps line rental + 50GB for R297 still beats the nearest Axxess package.
20GB extra for R28 more, and Afrihost has given me good quality service so far.

Mweb has a new strategy! They throttle your line to half the speed you are paying for! On a 2 meg line, you only get one meg download speed if you are lucky!

Now that is funny

Yip, dropped the price, but not enough that I would make a move to them from AH.

Still cheaper on Afrihost, hope they coming to the party with Webafrica's last price cuts

A good sign on what AH's prices will be. The 3 gig one sounds perfect for my mil.

Webafrica still beats this...

That's why they need to come to the party

They were very expensive to begin with so they just reduced their prices to be more in line with current market prices, albeit fractionally cheaper. The question is whether they had any clients left at the previous rates?

I don't expect that the other ISP's will do anything as it is not a massive difference. I have a 50gig capped account at Afrihost and I will not move for a R10 saving.

Are there any ISPs that shape capped accounts?
They should be shot!

Yes, WebAfrica shaped capped accounts. So I would not really compare Axxess pricing with them

Seriously? :wtf:

 

[Budza]

Sheesh. That's still too expensive...

 

[techead]

Yes, Webafrica this policy

"no its not shaped, its unshaped, but we reserve the right to shape when then network is busy"

which is complete bollocks.

CAPPED SHOULD BE UNSHAPED! PERIOD!
