/also waiting for the other ISPs to respond and release new 1Mbps uncapped products.

Doesn't Axxess already have a 1Mbps uncapped offering? R396 aswell.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Wow Openweb is expensive. Only R50 less than 4meg uncapped, for 4x less speed.

OP updated, thanks.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Imaginet - R469 for 1 meg.

R499 for 4 meg. Sometimes I wonder what these guys are thinking when pricing their products.

EXCELLENT!

Thanks as always, MrBEEP!

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Thanks Beeps, great to hear

I have emailed the owner of my ISP (yesterday and this morning).

Response is not positive for a 1Mb product.

Come on, Gian! Here's another opportunity to champion our cause!

Out of those options I'll choose Openweb Gold.

You do realize though that the 1meg service will be faaaaaaaar less contended as the current 4me pricing is actually too cheap to really provide a proper service?

I think ISPs will be raping us with the 1Mb packages. A lot of people will probably just prefer staying on the 512 because of this.

All bandwidth on that particular uncapped package goes through the same backbone with the same shaping rules in place.

I posted that before MrBEEP said that the price will be R359 effective 1 May.
