MWEB has launched their ‘triple-play’ service, bundling a basic DSL384 broadband connection with 1 GB of data usage, a DStv premium bouquet & PVR and a Broadband Talk subscription with 30 free minutes of MWEB Broadband Talk call time to the Broadband Talk Top 10 destinations. <\/p>\n

There are other value-ads thrown in with the service, including access to MWEB's Value-Added Services, 2 cordless VoIP phones, 4 extra e-mail addresses, a 2 Gig mailbox, 300 free Wi-Fi minutes at MWEB-ready Hotspots, MWEB Faxmail – free fax to e-mail and a 20% discount off a MultiChoice PVR Decoder.<\/p>\n

The cost for the service is advertised as R 599-00 per month on a 24 month contract, but users should take note that this only holds for the first 12 months after which the standard price of R 699-00 per month will kick in.<\/p>\n

Comparable Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total cost of the bundled ADSL, DStv and Broadband Talk products from MWEB over the 24 month period comes to R 15 576 or R 649-00 per month. The PVR-inclusive total cost comes to R 17 575-00.<\/p>\n

When bought separately a DStv Premium Bouquet costs R 439-90 per month while a PVR subscription is priced at R 55-00 per month. The total monthly cost comes to R 494-90 while the once-off PVR decoder is priced at R 2 499-00.<\/p>\n

A DSL384 connection with a 1 GB usage limit costs R 199-00 per month when purchased directly from Telkom.<\/p>\n

The standard monthly cost for the basic components of the bundled product is therefore R 693-90 when purchased from MultiChoice and Telkom directly. The total cost – including a PVR component – over 24 months comes to R 19 152-40, significantly more than MWEB’s R 17 575-00.<\/p>\n

These separately priced components however exclude the various value-add components which MWEB throws into the deal. This includes 2 cordless VoIP phones, 300 free Wi-Fi minutes at MWEB-ready Hotspots and 30 free minutes of MWEB Broadband Talk call time.<\/p>\n

The MWEB ‘triple-play’ deal will definitely save consumers money if they are willing to bind themselves to a 24 month contract in this fast changing telecoms environment.<\/p>\n
