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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
“MWEB will offer bandwidth from 512Kbps to 1Gbps, at rates up to 60% lower than the equivalent diginet line rentals currently available.” he said.<\/p>\n
