Hi guys... looking for unbiased
opinion...
Who's using Datapro as service provider?
Here's the scenario....
We've been using MWEB Business as service provider for yonks, 256k leased line, so unlimited & gauranteed bandwidth local & international.
Our parent co is in europe, incl mail server, so most of our traffic (mail, browsing, research) is international.
So naturally, the monthly cost of this internet connection is in the 5digits
, but mostly the service is good, and no cap, unshaped.
Now Datapro has come to see us, and offer same service, take over the leased line and offer same speed at greatly reduced cost, or similar cost at 512kbps.
So should we change?
Is Datapro cheaper coz their quality of service isn't as good? Or is MWEB overpriced (many of the added value service we don't use).... .... ... should we squeeze MWEB for a price reduction, or is their service just really better?
Don't just wanna change, especially if the service will be worse, but a >R20K per year saving is not to sneeze at either...
