Sign up with GoogleWireless Business Solutions (WBS) today launched i-Go lite, a wireless broadband package offering users 210 megabytes of data at just R195 (incl. VAT) per month.
“i-Go lite is South Africa’s most affordable broadband offering and with speeds of up to one megabit per second it’s also the country’s fastest mobile broadband,” said Thami Mtshali, CEO of WBS.
Black-owned WBS’s wireless broadband network uses iBurst technology enabling very reliable high-speed mobile Internet access for both laptops and desktop computers.
According to Mr Mtshali, “South Africa needs a massive uptake of broadband by individual users to put the country firmly on the road to 6% GDP growth. Our economy is suffering because we have a paltry 100 000 broadband users out of a population of 45 million people.
WBS expects the new i-Go lite package to help the company fulfill its mandate of making quality mobile broadband accessible in South Africa’s underserviced areas. WBS has offered wireless broadband in Soweto, Alexandra and in townships in Pretoria East since 2004.
“Opportunity lies where no one has gone before. It boggles the mind that the three million people who live in Soweto still have no access to fixed line broadband 11 years into the democracy that was supposed to give everyone a voice,” concluded Mr Mtshali.
Should i-Go lite customers exceed their monthly quota of 210 megabytes of data usage additional capacity can be purchased at R139 (VAT incl.) for 500 megabytes or R229 (VAT incl.) for one gigabyte. WBS levies a R114 activation charge on all new month to month subscriptions. This package is not available on a 24 month contract.
WBS is offering a discounted price of R2 500 (VAT incl.) for a desktop modem until the end of March 2006. The price for a laptop modem is R2 100 (VAT incl.).
