60% cheaper high-speed Internet
Durban businesses will now be able to reap the benefits of significantly faster, higher capacity Internet connectivity with the opening of the eThekwini Municipality network to service providers.
MWEB Business is one of the first ISPs to offer connectivity to customers in the eThekwini Metropolitan area as a result of a resale agreement with the municipality.
Unlike traditional copper networks, the largely fibre-based eThekwini MetroConnect network will be able to offer far greater bandwidth – up to 1Gbps – and at rates significantly lower than Telkom’s current copper-based offering.
Herman Jansen van Rensburg, Head of Product Management and Development at MWEB Business said the service that MWEB would offer is comparable to a leased line and will be used to provide connectivity from customer sites to MWEB’s Durban point of presence.
“MWEB will offer bandwidth from 512Kbps to 1Gbps, at rates up to 60% lower than the equivalent diginet line rentals currently available.” he said.
