Hey guys,
A lot of questions have been answered over on MyBB.
To sum up some questions here:
Unfortunately no upgrades are available, this is a stand-alone data-only package.
The guys who are currently on the MyBB special accounts will receive 100GB's worth of Download Plus for free
The bandwidth quality is silver, the same as our normal Home packages.

So I would have to cancel my Titan 2 package if I managed to score one of these accounts?

I'm guessing, that since this is a data package only, your choices would be to:
1. Cancel the Titan account and order your line seperately (so R199 + R413), or
2. Have it running on top of the Titan account (so R199 + 30GB on top of what you already have)
For my part, I'm going to go the seperate line option, since I can't really afford the extra R199 on top of what I'm already paying.

Whilst this is not at all a bad deal, it is by no means as amazing as is being made out. In my opinion it still falls short on many uncapped offerings.
Look at Mweb's for instance. On a uncapped 512KBs mweb package for R599 per month, line rental and data, you can download on average about 100GB ANYTIME!
This deal is R199 for 30GB + 100GB only after hours, namely 12am – 6am. Now add the R326 line rental from Telkom and you are paying R525.
Personally I would pay in the R75 and download what I want when I want.

you must just scheduleâ„¢ your downloads then you won't have to eat your pieâ„¢, remember it's all about superiorâ„¢ network.
or even betterâ„¢, there is openweb's gold uncapped pricing.
512K for R398* and it's big-brotherâ„¢ free
*rental excluded...

hmmm...uncapped....it worries me
simple reason speeds on uncapped have a tendency to be slower, more so on 4mb lines as the potential for Dl'ing is pretty big.
I spoke to Afrihost and they openly admit speeds on Capped > Uncapped on their network.
I have never tried uncapped with anyone besides openweb on a 384 line but im specifcally reffering to those with 4mb lines who can and do download alot, but what constitutes alot? Fair usage policy....fail

Well, on Mweb 512 uncapped I manage on average 100gb per month. I know of a couple of okes in 4mb mweb uncapped over 500gb per month with not so much as a peep from Mweb or any kind of shaping or throttling like Afrihost does.
Any way, like I said, this is not a bad deal at all, but is not as amazing as it's made out to be. It is nice to see WebAfrica trying to compete though, but they should take a leaf or two from Afrihost and Mweb in my opinion. Afrihost has some okay deals for capped packages and Mweb has still one of the, if not the best uncapped offering. And until WA start offering similar types of deals, they will always be playing second fiddle.

In all seriousness - this deal is a win for me. At the moment I'm paying R599/10GB, which I'm generally happy with - apart from an episode last Oct/Nov latency on my line has been much better than Afrihost or Axxess's "unshaped" lines.
With this offer, I'll be paying R13 extra for 20GB - the off-peak 100GB is completely incidental, since I'll probably only run into that over weekends when I'm up late - and I don't download so much that I even need that much bandwidth. Certainly, if you feel you need hundreds of gigs to do whatever it is you do - then go for it.
Yes, MWeb gives you uncapped for R599 - that's great except for the 512k linespeed. R899 for 4mb, I can go up to 10mb without any hassles (when my exchange finally gets upgraded). I'd rather chew through my wrists than sit with a 512k line (especially since I watch a lot of streaming video). And 30GB is much more than enough - only reason I'm even doing this is because:
1. It's a great deal for me, and
2. I tend to pop over my cap by 3 or 4 gigs every month.

You're on a Titan 3 Plan, right? It does seem as though the additional 100Gb worth of offpeak bandwidth is for those who signed up for the MyBB 30Gb deal.
I thought about switching to the Red Africa special, but think that I am doing well to get a 4mb line and 15Gb [+ FreeZone] for R299
a month [considering that 4mb lines alone usually go for R413 p.m.] and I don't often get close to using up my allocation, so 130Gb would be wasted on me. Decent offer to those who are bandwidth-hungry though.
