Over the last few weeks numerous Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have cut the price of their uncapped ADSL products. This followed Telkom<\/a>‘s decision to upgrade ADSL speeds free of charge.<\/p>\n

Telkom Wholesale is currently upgrading the speed of its ADSL products, with 1Mbps upgraded to 2Mbps, 2Mbps bumped up to 4Mbps, and 4Mbps lines increased to 10Mbps.<\/p>\n

This placed pressure on ISPs to lower their uncapped ADSL prices, despite the fact that there have not been significant wholesale price cuts.<\/p>\n

Axxess<\/a> was the first ISP to announce that they will upgrade their uncapped subscribers to the higher speeds free of charge. Other providers followed suit.<\/p>\n

In the latest development, Internet Solutions (IS<\/a>) and Incredible Connection<\/a> have partnered to offer consumers and small businesses uncapped ADSL services.<\/p>\n

“Known as Connection DSL powered by IS Ignite, the offering enables Incredible Connection customers to walk into a store, buy a router, signup for uncapped Internet and walk out connected,” IS said in a press statement.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview on how Incredible Connection’s new home uncapped ADSL prices stack up against other products in the market. The pricing is for data-only uncapped ADSL products.<\/p>\n
