Hey Friends,

At OpenWeb, we decided Christmas should come early this year (a few days earlier at least).

We have created an end of month special as follows:

* a 4Mbps After Hours Uncapped ADSL account that runs at 192kbps during the day, and FULL SPEED after hours and on weekends
* The account will run from date of purchase until the end of December 2009 only. It cannot be renewed.
* This special is perfect for folks wanting to cram in end of month downloads at full speed!
* The account allows for 1 concurrent connection

Cost: R389

To order your account, kindly email [email protected]
We will then provide you with ordering information.

Have a SUPER Christmas period!

Kind regards

:p If you have a lot queued up, and rip that line to pieces, you can easily get your moneys worth. But the pressure is too much to handle!!
 
If you worked this right you could grab 200 Gigs before the end of the month. That's R1.95 per Gig.

R2.30 per Gig if you add an Astraweb account. :D

Complaining about this just makes you look stupid. Nobody is forcing you to take this.

Yeah, it's good value for money, if you rape the line. But enforcing the notion that we need to abuse the internet for everything it's worth is plain silly.

ISPs need to work towards a point where the majority of consumers are on uncapped accounts. This works to prolong the opposite. We must not feed into it.

So, if I use all the water that comes out of my tap, I'm raping the line... or if I use all the electricity I can use, even though I am paying for it... that is somehow morally wrong? :confused:

If I go to Pick and Pay and buy a dozen donuts instead of just 4 and share the other 8 with all my friends that somehow makes me a bad person?

What point is bandwidth except to use for downloading? I'm sure not gonna buy it and then frame it! :erm:

If I buy bandwidth I use it. I don't believe in buying things that I am not gonna use. That would be just plain dumb.

the more people who buy uncapped accounts at the moment show the IPSs that there is a demand for it. The more you hold off the longer we will never have it. The ISPs already are under the impression we don't want it... we've been begging them for it for years now. The more bandwidth they sell the more money they make. Simple economics.

Correct, so don't buy silly products. Get an uncapped account.

um, this is an uncapped account if you go back and read carefully :D

And this is one ISP that is not sitting idle on bandwidth that is going to waste. They are selling off their spare capacity. That kind of thinking ought to be rewarded.

Actually yes, that is morally wrong seeing as South Africa is pretty arid.

Um, yes! You'd be a right royal twat if you left all your taps running fully open and your sprinklers on 24/7/365. If everyone had that stupid mentality where do you think we'd be in 5 years time?

And the same applies to electricity. A whole bunch of idiots decide to expend as much electricity as they can. Next thing Eskom imposes "black outs" again and everyone has to suffer because of the greed of a few.
