MWEB gets 70 000 uncapped clients

I don't see how it's a bad thing. Perhaps in the short-term, yes. In the long-term it'll just cause the ISPs to put more pressure on Telkom and, if nothing else, with growing demand it will only do more to reveal Telkom as the archaic Neanderthal that it is for holding telecommunications and infrastructure back in South Africa.

While, admittedly, there are numerous other factors to consider, the point I'm trying to make is that growing demand is most certainly not a bad thing.
 
I think many of those 70,000 were existing cutomers on the 384K capped package, who were upgraded automatically (equivalent bundled price). These are hardly likely to be 'power users', and in any case 384K hardly meets the conventional definition of 'uncapped' broadband.

The number of 512K users is likely to be much less due to Telkom's skewed data line rental price.

The number of 4Mbps users is likely to be a tiny fraction of the 70,000 figure stated. Any guesses? 10-20% maybe?

I hope the bloody Neanderthal idiots sitting in their Ivory Towers with their smart offices and fancy cars are taking note of this.

I don't want to derail this SUCCESS story thread, so the rest of my reply is here:
