Sounds like a bargain.

This is incompatibly better than the Axxess offering, I mean I would murder that threshold in 1 day, no issue, then I'm stuck with 192 for the rest of the month, which pretty much strikes away the usefulness of the internet in terms of today's minimum speed requirement. If you can afford R999pm, then you can afford R300 more, and it is definitely worth it to avoid the threshold.

Welcome to the forum!

I have to say though... your logic is seriously flawed. If R1399 is not a big deal for people who can afford R999, then surely it wouldn't be a problem for you to forgo the R1399 option and take the R999 option while switching to prepaid/topup unshaped bandwidth during the day for maximum speed.

wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow is that for real?

Are you taking the piss out of us? I mean seriously... for someone who is so active in so many forums on this board and you haven't seen the Axxess prices?

Or maybe you don;t want to go the Axxess route because of their stuff up earlier in the year...

A word of warning to people considering this account, below is the reply I received from OpenWeb when asked about switching from their R1,399 express account to this one (I'm aware of the 10GB rolling window on express accounts)

"The quality of bandwidth is better on your account and less shaping for P2P and torrents."

This does not seem compatible with the description of the account IMHO

if its fiber and not satelite with no threshold ***, it might be worth the extra R300. still R300 extra is R300 extra...

its R1299 btw go look again (Uncapped Express - 4Mbps After Hours R1299), for the R300 difference, how much prepaid are you going to get for a whole month of 8am to 8pm week days ?
