Rumour 10gb for R319

[ijack]

hey guys

I heard a rumour that Openweb is going to bring out a 10gb account for R319.

Does anyone have more info on this? I tried emailing support, but they said they dont know anything about it.

any info will be appreciated.

It's 'imminent'.

It's a seriously unconfirmed rumour, as far as a I know. Not completely outlandish, however... The combination of competition in the market and the fact that we need real broadband by 2010 might well make it something of a reality fairly soon.

They won't "do away with* caps, though. It's just that we'll have 20GB and 30GB instead of 2GB, and real uncapped will be cheaper.

I won't hold my breath for that... This is Africa, we rely on tourism (cough begging cough). In 2010 there will be a lot of rich international tourists, why make broadband cheaper? They are going to come here for the soccer, paying a bit more for broadband would be the least of their concerns. Remember, we do have broadband, its just unaffordible to the locals.

I get 10gb on my 3gb telkom account which I pay R250 for.

 

[MrG]

lol, true

 

[.geek]

Err, I was joking.

Threads with "rumours" on pricing/capping etc, are 100% pointless unless there is substantial evidence to backup the claim.

It doesn't reflect too well on the company(s) concerned either, if the rumour is indeed just that, a rumour.

 

[cableguy]

rumours are just that, rumours.

if it was real, everyone wouldve known about it

Yeah well rumours can be true

It would be a smart thing to have a large or should I say a standard bandwidth cap specially 4 the whole 2010 speech

Just imagine I wouldn't have 2 check my frikken usage like every day

No no come back down to earth it will neva happen

 

[m0zy]

I have asked around at a few ISP's and one knows anything about 10gb for R319.00
If you are going to start a rumour then please make sure that you can supply proof. Otherwise you just make us all happy for nothing

Email I got from OpenWeb this morning. They are doing something.

Hey Friends,

I have 3 x Special Accounts available:

* 10GB's of bandwidth (Local and International)
* Works for 10 days from Wed, 13 September. (13 Sept to 22 Sept).
* Allows 1 concurrent connection
* Runs at 512k.

Cost - R299

 

[ziglet]

hmm, so i pay R516 for my lovely "4mbit" and i get a 10gig account for R300 at 512... Maybe i downgrade to 512 and get the 10gig account...

Wonder what they call it, "IS news server is screwed so local only accounts are useless so go signup with Easynews" special
