MWEB has quietly launched its long awaited 10 Mbps uncapped ADSL service<\/strong><\/a> aimed at the consumer market.  The new, high speed service compliments the company’s existing 384 Kbps, 512 Kbps and 4 Mbps uncapped offerings.<\/p>\n

The new 10 Mbps uncapped ADSL service offers consumers two pricing options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. R1,999 per month for a data only account<\/li>\n
  2. R2,359 per month for a data account and 10 Mbps ADSL line rental<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    MWEB’s 10 Mbps uncapped service is a shaped connection which means that services like web surfing and email will enjoy preference over torrents and other P2P traffic at times when the network is running close to capacity.<\/p>\n

    MWEB Business uncapped<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The launch of an uncapped 10 Mbps consumer offerings comes only two weeks after MWEB Business launched their uncapped, unshaped 10Mbps ADSL service<\/strong><\/a> aimed at the business market.<\/p>\n

    MWEB Business’ pricing for its uncapped, unshaped ADSL products are as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. R4,999 per month for a 10 Mbps uncapped, unshaped data only account<\/li>\n
    2. R5,359 per month for an uncapped, unshaped data account and 10 Mbps ADSL line rental<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The MWEB Business uncapped accounts further come with 5 Fixed IP addresses, a lower contention ratio than the consumer offering, 300 free Wi-Fi minutes and the use of a configured business class Cisco router worth R3,999.<\/p>\n

      Limited number of 10 Mbps uncapped ADSL accounts<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Axxess and Openweb were the first ISPs to launch uncapped ADSL accounts<\/strong><\/a> which were capable of supporting speeds of up to 10 Mbps, but these Uncapped Express+ accounts are rate limited to between 384 Kbps and 1024 Kbps during business hours.<\/p>\n

      The closest rival to MWEB’s uncapped 10 Mbps consumer offering may be Axxess’ 1 Mbps Uncapped Express+ service (which offers speeds of up to 10 Mbps after hours) priced at R2399 per month.<\/p>\n

      The reluctance of service providers to launch their own uncapped 10 Mbps ADSL offerings may be an indication that they are not certain about the business case behind these accounts. <\/p>\n

      Many ISPs have indicated that it is not financially feasible for them to launch uncapped 4 Mbps services, and 10 Mbps accounts carry an even higher risk which may be to blame for the cautious approach by MWEB competitors.<\/p>\n
