Uncapped 1024k and 512k ADSL!

not too bad a deal - just you guys in Cape Town best check the Eskom site first and invest in a generator....

If it is IS half of your 24 hours will be unuseable for international downloads so doesn't make economic sense to me...

LOL Yeah, that can be a problem, Mr Beep what will you do if the International gets messed?

I suppose you pay the same charges to IS so unless is do something about their bad Intenational bandwidth then there is not much else Mr Beep can do..

Just sign up on a Good Day

Wow, this just illustrates how fcked up ADSL is here in SA.

1 day, 24 hours of 1mb uncapped: R200

UK:

31 days, 744 hours of 24mb uncapped: R300

How can anyone justify this? There is simply no excuse.

It would be worth it if you signed on a weekend (or at least it should be). That is why I was asking. I had a look though and on a 384 even if everything went brilliantly, I would only be able to download 3.3GB. The 512 and 1024 options are more worthwhile. I don't need to do any uploading which cancels out the benefits a bit.

What can you say we live in SA

I really nice product for me would be a International server to do downloads and then backups of the downloads are couriered to SA on a weekly or bi weekly basis...

You could even just FTP the stuff from the international server to a SA server. The international server would get charged for the minimal bandwidth and we could pick up the stuff here.

I say well done to Openweb for offering the packages they do. They are the only ISP with such cool products. Something for everyone.

You forgot to ad the line rental for the 1MB Line!!! Its way more than R200 here.

Remember AFAIK R300 in the UK gets you line, account everything.

Still I think Mr.Beeps offering is a good one. Cue up all your downloads and then once its over/around 9GB get the 24hr account and go nuts.

Yeah, I know. It's just unnecessary to include the line charges because this example is so extreme even without it.

I am dissapointed. Have you learnt nothing?

Rule No.1 - Always make Telkom look as bad as possible tille ADSL prices are where they should be.
