Is 20Mbps capped DSL cheaper than 10Mbps?

20Mbps capped DSL cheaper than 10Mbps?

It is cheaper to get a 20Mbps capped connection from some ISPs than a 10Mbps account and access

Yes, at least in afrihost's case for the 75+75. Have upgraded to it instead of the 10mbps connection. Has to do with the wholesale price dropping and less markup.

EDIT: Oh wait, that's an article

What sorcery is this?

I tried to sign up for ADSL yesterday for the first time. Telkom said that there are no ports available in my area plus there's a waiting list of about 300 people. It's 2014. I may as well be living in 1990.

That sucks. Try a WISP, almost as good / sometimes better. Just more expensive hardware up front usually.

Afrihost has seriously dropped the ball the past month.

They are endlessly making promises that they are working around the clock to sort out the congestion issues, but making no progress.



Second result was through a WebAfrica (IS) account.

Much fuss about nothing - it's perfectly acceptable to choose one package to focus on and promote. In fact, it's a great strategy. Afrihost will end up with a more strategic customer base than competitors, using more data, less likely to churn etc.

20Mbps VDSL/ADSL2+
40Mbps VDSL/ADSL2+

40Mbps ADSL2+ ?

 

[Johnatan56]

40Mbps ADSL2+ ?

I'm guessing he (the author) means the exchange?

With Afrihost's current issues anything more than a 2mb ADSL line is a waste of time... interesting that MyBB are so quite about it all! Come on MyBB... time for an article on AH's current issues please!

Lol If it hasn't happened by now it won't and then you have to ask yourself WHY?

Have you PM'ed TelkomZA?

Well the short answer is, there are more people who are capable of getting ADSL than VDSL, IE the majority of DSL users are ADSL users due to physical limitations.

See?
