Taken from the article:



Well thats... massive?

What about lte lol? Adsl is dead. They can increase the caps on the LTE atleast.

 

[cavedog]

With the new IP Connect model I expect the ISPs will offer the increased speeds for free?

Just imagine the guy with a short last mile and with 1Mbps adsl line. That upgrade would be like a 7 minute orgasm

Well Axxess sells a 1Mbps adsl line for R65 which will be 10Mbps for 3 months. The 10Mbps line is R415. That is a R1050 saving in the 3 months the speed is upgraded. Bargain!

Lol these upgrades are a joke for higher end users.

Trying to cash in on the publicity of the other providers but too late to the party and not much benefit, unless you're on a lower package...

 

[cavedog]

Well the people on 40Mbps are smiling. They get more than double their speeds.

I upgraded my 40 meg line to 100 3 weeks ago

 

[skusku]

Need to downgrade to 40mb so i can stay on 100mb with lower cost then. Stupid openserve

 

[cavedog]

Booyah baby, 200mb, here I come

I feel your pain though...pity that Openserve doesn't offer us higher speeds than 200mb

You going to pay for that upgrade though

 

[cyb3rt]

Godammit! I literally PAID to double my line for the lockdown on Monday because OpenServe were not joining the party for free upgrades and there are no other back-end providers in my area..

 

[Magnum]

Jipee Im still on Dialup!

 

[skusku]

This article went from great to super disappointing while reading the content

I just realised that the article says that 100mb users remain unchanged. That royally sux, meh
