Dear Web Africa. I appreciate that you (Waroop and your CEO) bring up Comcast as an example of why we need data caps, I would like to see you follow in Comcast's footsteps. I lived in USA for 8 years and have used Comcast and think they are an excellent example. Let's just all be honest with each other and also acknowledge that Comcast advertises 1) High speed and 2) Low prices, their 200GB cap is so high that 99.9% of their customers never know it exists, they never ever advertise it, it is in the small print. Their competitors (Like Verizon) advertise, 1) Speed, 2) Price and 3) Uncapped. If you just look at speed and price, Comcast can be a good 30% cheaper than their competition. The masses use Comcast, the extreme power users pay 30% more elsewhere.
We have people like me who travel and have family living in USA reading this forum, so don't try to lie to your fellow South Africans and give us this crap about unlimited being unsustainable. You are insulting our intelligence and by taking one look at the other posts on this forum, no one is believing it. You can go to any mature broadband market all around the world and you will find premium quality unlimited internet either as the norm or for something like 30% more than the high-capped internet.
If you want to keep signing on new customers into next year, you will need to do the same. Give us a huge cap we will never know about for 30% cheaper than the competitively priced uncapped services and I can recommend you to a lot of non-power-users I know.
