From what I have seen and heard this is not going to stop soon. I think we may also start to see more innovative offerings like Web Africa's free online gaming bandwidth and the like.
 
R500 for the line & bandwidth is my final offer, take it or go.
 
“Nexus ISP is delighted to announce that we have successfully secured a new contract with the South African Internet Exchange that will supply us with lower wholesale prices for ADSL bandwidth routed via the SAIX network. It therefore gives us great pleasure to inform you that these savings will be passed onto our customers,”

I can't wait to see what other excuses are used to justify the sudden drop in price to the customer.
 
Competition I like it - aimed more at small businesses and not home users at that price
 
so we are getting more and it's costing less?
 
Waiting for 4Mbps to drop to around R600 - since you have to add line rental to it, it's still way overpriced. Not that the general direction is bad of course.

Well, not everyone needs a static IP. That's why.

I seriously don't get some of the negativity being shown here... all these price drops (granted, it's still a bit out of reach) and with more coming in the future is only a good thing.
 
YES! This is what I like to hear. Hopefully by January things will be even better as I am then going to be looking for two uncapped 4Mbit accounts over two different providers, and then load balance them for better performance and backup. Thanks Nexus!

Its a technical problem. Telkom still controls the part of the network that acts like a DHCP server for ADSL connections. Telkom is making changes that would allow the ISPs more control but I don't know when it will be ready for use.
 
Why does the article not talk about the R570 setup fee that Nexus charges? I did not pay a setup fee with openweb.
 
"Openweb recently cut the price of the service to R2,699 per month, the same as a 1 Mbps Uncapped Express+ account (R2,699) and more affordable than an uncapped 1 Mbps account from Internet Solutions (R3,299). "

R2000 + for uncapped is not fscking affordable..
