Looks too good to be true. R149pm uncapped - I must be missing something here (I hope not). :eek:

WAVE is a revolutionary new product, offering you ultra-fast and UNLIMITED use personal Wireless Internet Access!

It’s made available to you trough a radical new Wi-Fi network. The HotSpot "splash-page" authentication mechanism allows one to connect to the Internet using the computer’s build-in Wireless Network Interface Card (WNIC), so there is no need to purchase and install additional external wireless modems.

The use of the Wi-Fi standard makes the WAVE the most simple to connect Internet Access product available in South Africa today - the low price of R149.00 for unlimited use makes it certainly the most affordable.

We are so confident of the value of the WAVE that we don’t require you to commit to a contract. Just choose between the cash or a debit order options - both available at R149.00 per month - and we guarantee that there will be no additional fees imposed on you to surf our.....WAVEs.

No coverage in my area, otherwise I'd try it :) No contract, so I'd be willing to take the chance. If it's for real, they better get ready for a mass influx of leechers :p I mean, R149 per month will get you max 3GB anywhere else (if even that much).

I agree with you tho, does seem too good to be true...
 
True Uncapped never comes close to the WISP Uncapped offers. And if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true.
 
acceptable use policy some scary things in there but no mention of limitied bandwidth useage that I noticed.

Uncapped up to (aslong as it's also close to) 2Mb for R149.00 per month would be great, if it was true and worked there would be nothing to complain about.

I was with a WISP and the prices are ridiculous, and I never tried but gaming would have been impossible because of being cut off every so often for a moment.
