LOCAL ONLY uncapped?

Local only uncapped.

Is there such a product out there?

 

[mercurial]

Not yet. We have pitched the idea to ISPs.

 

[Biggie]

Ty.

It makes sense,i can't understand why the isp's don't see that gap.

 

[blaaislaai]

Afrihost, please read this thread and do something about the gap!

That's exactly why they're hesitant to rush into it - people who buy uncapped local will maximise it fully.

With normal uncapped accounts what typically happens is that average users who don't use their full allocation end up cross-subsidising the uncapped users. Their unused data effectively assists in paying for the uncapped users data.

With local only accounts, the people who buy them know how to use it so there's far less reliance on average users not using up their full allocation.

I'd sign up as well if it's around R500 or so. I'd even go through the trouble of splitting traffic

Uncapped Local will not be of any benefit to tourists but for local only accessing banking websites, IOL, News24. VPN access into local servers

Hmm if you give this service away for free on a WUG would that be legal, with various local only hotspots around town.
Or provide it gratis to your WUG Users

4Mb uncapped local would be great,

you ppl. SAIX local is uncapped, it's just not free.
maybe you can tell my why IS are allowed to hardcap their's though, or dont they?

Uhm nearly uncapped and the trial has been extended. So you will have 200GB untill they are satisfied with everything. As yet they are not.

Yeah - the news server doesn't allow enough connections From one of the forum I saw they are making some more changes this afternoon.

Any idea when the newsgroups would be able to connect? Can't wait to test the Saix servers. Thinking fo a Do3 package to get Saix news servers as IS is very slow these days..........
