"Dear OpenWebber,I am so sorry for mailing you twice in 2 days, but I
had to
share this with you! We are now offering SAIX ADSL for only R49 per
GB!
SAIX is based on the Telkom ADSL network allowing for the best
available
latencies, speed and performance. Oh, and incase you didn't know, P2P
and
torrents download at a super fast speed! If you purchase with a credit

card, the account will instantly be activated! More information"

quoted from my inbox from openweb.
 
Nokkie is right, it is cheap for SAIX access but I still think TelkomInternet have that area covered :(

its a fair price, but not cheap by any standard... Maybe Mweb Standards

Axxess offer ADSL per gig for R59.00, WebAfrica charging R70.00 the last time I checked and M Web charge nearly 50% more than the price listed here. I am not sure of any other providers matching this price over at Hellkom.
 
We match it but only on accounts 10GB or more, over at 100GB is goes down to as little R24.00 per gig.

So we can therefore declare that it's a good price per gigabyte? As in that price not being cheap by "any standards"? Also, what would your per gigabyte price be then if you can match theirs with 10? I just don't think it's fair for you to say that they are "overpriced like mweb" when you can only match them with 10 GB allocations.

good point.
 
About a year ago I used to get 5Gig SAIX from Openweb for R239 (which was R47.80 per Gig)

Despite the huge wholesale price drops in the industry, Openweb must be the only ADSL ISP that is more expensive now than it was a year ago.

For R49/Gig you can get SAIX prepaid.

Why does everyone always say M-Web is expensive ???? Check the VAS they offer with their ADSL accounts, and then check what other ISPs compare to it... NO ONE.
 
I think SAIX had better act fast with a price cut to compete against IS. SAIX has its place, but I agree that right now IS is the way to go for most users.
