MWEB is offering uncapped ADSL accounts from R999 for a 384kbps line onwards.

Any1 know?

Looks old, and has a sizeable set-up fee.

How can R1k a month for 0.3Mbps be a Seacom product?

I think its a new product...

It really doesnt matter if they are using seacom or telkom cos of the low speed account but if they are using seacom, u might get a better service

It wud be a big plus if the account is completely uncapped and not throttled like other uncapped accounts with thresholds

Being an M-Web client for a while now I am considering finally leaving these okes. Yeah they have always been a bit more expensive than the rest but with the new Telkom 3GB becoming 5GB and M-Web just keeping numb on that whole issue, they are now totally becoming the rip of artists.

You do realize that telskum did not really increase the cap at all.
They just removed softcapping

Yes I know.
Its not the removal of the softcapping thats the problem, its that they say that they have increased the caps but effectively nothing has changed (and others are losing out)

Did you know that M-Web will stop you at 3GB with no chance of even getting a little bit more?
