Just saw this on SAINET's webpage. http://www.sainet.co.za/

From 1 March 2010 we will split the byte and give you more Cap for the same price. Register and Subscribe today and see for yourself.

Local bytes billed at one third of the cost on an International byte. Users are able to monitor and see their split usage by using the Sainet SelfCare zone.

Example: If a user use 50% local/International he will effectively use 2Gb of CAP and be billed for 1Gb. Should a user use International bandwidth a full gig will be available. Local only browsers can fully utilise 3 Gigs of local only bandwidth on a One Gig account, but still have international applications live (such as skype).

“Count the beans and one will realise this is the best service combination between cost and value in one account” says GM Bianca Petersen with a smile.

And from my usage I can see that my traffic is already being split between local and international and their pricing is cheap as well. Must say this is pretty awesome. Anyone else with them that can confirm this?
 
wait till the white knight arrives to shake the bushes....if wa arrives :D
 
Yip.

Necuno do you know something or are you just optimistic? (I am, even the Steam server is great news imo.)

Anyways this seems like a pretty good offer, time will tell if the ISP is any good though, anyone use them already? I guess they didn't just come up over night.
 
Not bad, they are R295 for 5Gb int OR 30Gb local and Telkom is R 259.00 with 5Gb int AND 30Gb local... Sigh...

I've been using them for three years now so its not over night. I just noticed this change today when I logged in to check my usage.

As I understand it, you get your international and local split. The local just counts toward a different cap then the international. This is how it shows up in my usage stats.

EDIT : Anyways, I'll keep on monitoring this and give feedback at a later stage :)

I think the 10gb international part makes it more than worthwhile...
