MWEB reduces uncapped ADSL prices

[Ecco]

The price of MWEB’s 384kbps uncapped ADSL accounts has also been dropped to R199 from the previous R219. MWEB will further offer a free upgrade to 1Mbps to all of their data-only uncapped 384Kbps ADSL customers.

If I am understanding this correctly, there will be no 384Kbps uncapped offering, just a 1Mb uncapped product at R199?

 

[Ecco]

Oh, and thanks and well done Mweb!

 

[cerebus]

Ok I'm doing this today sweet finally 1mb!

 

[Rouxenator]

I'm thinking of downgrading my Mweb account to 1mbps uncapped and then in June I'll downgrade my 4mbps line to 1mbps. So for the whole of May I will be on 1mbps uncapped using a 4mbps line. I wonder if that is wise?

NVM...

 

[akescpt]

so when will telkom blink?

 

[Wayned182]

This is very cool, And if you combine this with the expected change from Telkom in terms of line rentals, we could very well be paying R329 for Data & Line rental on a 1mb uncapped account by the end of the month.

Now we're getting somewhere! Good job Mweb, Now over to you Telkom...

No idea what will happen to the 384kb accounts when they get upgraded to 1mb, but would assume the 384kb users will have to pay up a bit more for the data portion.

I Don't think so, Mweb data portion is now R199 for both 384 and 1mb. the only difference between the accounts is the line rental. so once telkom upgrades all 384 accounts to 1mb (I assume at no extra cost). the 1mb Uncapped account should cost what a 384 account costs at present (R329 Data & Line)

Sorry

Luckily im in a small part of the country where we don't get raped by the govamunt so much.
South Coast FTW, no toll roads here lol )

Because the price is already fantastic

It was fantastic 2 years ago, now its just expensive... R899 for over two years for the same product?

Fine I guess I can't say same, as they have made the service better, but I am sure many 4mb users would appreciate a price drop even if it is only R100 ?

Now THAT would be ridiculous cheap!

 

[Veneficus]

You can't really just multiply the 1mb price by 4, it's not accurate. What I said was silly though, I suppose. There are probably way more 384/1024 users than 4096.

I just wouldn't mind paying less, and as others have noted, it's been the same price for a very long time.

true
But that is why I think they will probably make changes sometime soon for the higher accounts
looking at this they seem to want to make the 1mb line the slowest speed you can get

They do have a good rep for updating prices when they can get it cheaper

 

[D3x]

So the it will cost R488 / month for a 2mb uncapped account? Thats if Telkom upgrade the 1Mb guys.

 

[ColinR]

Well done MWEB, you guys just get better and better. Now if you get your 10mbps uncapped accounts to sub R2k with ADSL line rental included, I'll mosy on over

 

[TJ99]

MWEB once again fighting the good fight.

Can't wait for the haters to show up and bitch about how making internet connections is "bad for us all" because they prefer to pay 3X the price at other ISP's or whatever

 

[TheGuy]

Mweb you beaut!

 

[Murmaider]

The one time RPM should have put a table in his article, where it's actually relevant, he doesn't.

 

[Creag]

Nice shooting, MWEB!

 

[froot]

Your move, WebAfrica

Mweb is by far the best ISP in SA - the cellular cartels should learn a thing or 2 from them
