New ISP DigiChilli (http:\/\/www.digichilli.com\/<\/a>) has entered the South African market offering uncapped services utilising SEACOM bandwidth. The packages offer very competitive pricing compared with other uncapped services on the market.<\/p>\n

The ‘Mild’ package offers an uncapped 256Kb\/s connection for R500 per month. The ‘Medium’ package offers a 512Kb\/s uncapped service for R1 000 per month while the ‘Hot’ package offers an unlimited 1024Kb\/s service for R3 000 per month.<\/p>\n

According to Darren Smith, Managing Director of DigiChilli, “these are all burstable services up to double the advertised speed.” The service will be officially launched on 1 December 2009, but there is currently a pre launch special available.<\/p>\n

“Register, purchase your December account now, and receive the rest of November free and gratis, as well as a further discount of 20% off the regular monthly package price for December,” said Smith. This means a user will pay R400 now, and have the rest of November for free with no caps. The 20% discount applies to all packages.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if a subscriber refers 5 people that sign up, that subscriber will get the following month free, which in the case of this example would be January.  Accounts can be purchased on a monthly basis and all accounts use dynamic IP addresses, allowing for 2 concurrent line connections. Users are responsible for their own router and ADSL access.<\/p>\n

Peer-to-peer (P2P) connections and torrents will be allowed, but the service is managed, with business protocols taking priority. There are no rolling thresholds.<\/p>\n

The ‘Mild’ and ‘Medium’ packages each come with one Google powered e-mail account using the @digichilli.com domain. The ‘Hot’ package can have up to 20 e-mail accounts associated to it.<\/p>\n

The ‘Mild’ package for R500 will be a direct competitor to companies such as Axxess (http:\/\/www.axxess.co.za\/uncapped.php<\/a>), who offer a 384Kb\/s uncapped account with a 5GB 10 day rolling threshold for R899 per month. The benefit of the Axxess uncapped express account is that one gets their full line speed (up to 4Mb\/s) during off-peak periods.<\/p>\n

On the high end of the uncapped scale, the ‘Medium’ and ‘Hot’ DigiChilli packages will compete with the likes of business uncapped services from OpenWeb (http:\/\/www.openweb.co.za\/allhours_uncapped.php<\/a>), who offer an all-hours uncapped ADSL with speeds of up to 4Mb\/s, for R2 699 per month.<\/p>\n
