Free speed upgrade...when last?

When last did you get a free speed upgrade? I remember during the COVID era, Afrihost doubled your fibre speed for 3 months. This also happened normally during the holiday period. It was only for a short period but it was a speed increase nonetheless.

They also doubled the line speeds over last year's Christmas period for a couple of months.

There is always a catch, nothing is for free in this world.

On New Year's, my ISP automatically upgraded the link layer speed, doubling the speed. If you choose to revert to your previous speed, incurs a penalty of R1000.
