MWEB<\/a> has cut the price of its 1Mbps uncapped ADSL<\/a> data accounts from R299 per month to R199 per month. MWEB Business is reducing the price of its business uncapped 1Mbps service from R986 per month to R799 per month.<\/p>\n

The price of MWEB\u2019s 384kbps uncapped ADSL accounts has also been dropped to R199 from the previous R219. MWEB will further offer a free upgrade to 1Mbps to all of their data-only uncapped 384Kbps ADSL customers.<\/p>\n

The fact that MWEB\u2019s 384kbps and 1Mbps uncapped ADSL accounts will now cost the same may surprise consumers, but MWEB ISP CEO Derek Hershaw<\/a> said that it is in-line with their aim to make 1Mbps Uncapped ADSL the new entry level uncapped product in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cMWEB has made the call to use the 30 percent cut in Telkom\u2019s IP Connect (IPC) pricing to continue enhancing its Tier 1 network and to make 1Mbps Uncapped ADSL the \u2018best internet deal in South Africa\u2019 by dropping the price on that product to just R199 per month,\u201d said Hershaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to see 1Mbps uncapped packages become the new entry level product for local Internet users,\u201d said Hershaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the interests of growing fixed-line broadband in SA we look forward to a formal announcement from Telkom<\/a> to say they\u2019re upgrading all 384Kbps lines to 1Mbps at no extra cost to the end-user,\u201d Hershaw concluded.<\/p>\n

The new MWEB pricing will be available immediately to all new customers, while existing MWEB subscribers will be automatically upgraded from 1 June 2012.<\/p>\n
