Free the Web

[Techrat]

Maybe yet another cheap uncapped ISP?

 

[acidb]

think the free web team can manage more than one post? ...'always on internet' right

Maybe thats why they have a mission, free internet, its too expensive right now for them, lol

all aboard the fanboi express! *toot toot*
nha we shouldn't joke, just-now i get told i'm being negative again

thing is we've seen 3 newcomers fail at the cheap uncapped promise within the last 6 months. no names, just clues: one had serious problems with assigning their users a public IP, and never fixed it. the second opted to make use of as many open and free services as it could, i still get peers from them connecting to me from time to time but far fewer than when they first launched. and thirdly, i had high hopes for these guys. their cheap price included the 384 kilobit ADSL rental, but they've been consistent in raising the subscription by a R100 every month -their users must be fighting each other to get out by now

Until LLU (or when pigs fly, whichever is soonest), only Telkom can "FreeTheWeb." Cheaper bandwidth options are fine and welcome provided that they are reliable, but it is Telkom's bloodsucking access charge more than anything else that is killing broadband in SA.

Apparently they are making the announcement at 9 am.

Just before they actually announce... I just want to say... it's going to be R214 uncapped for the first 6months, and then R800 for the months thereafter... hope I'm wrong!
