A new year brings with it many developments, including the proliferation of high-definition media and other data-hungry protocols.
For ADSL Internet users who want an unshaped and unthrottled experience while exploring what 2016 has to offer, a capped package is the way to go.
Below is a look at the cheapest capped ADSL packages South Africa’s top ISPs have on offer.
It must be noted that ADSL and analogue line rental charges have been excluded, and free/bonus midnight data was ignored for the sake of the comparison.
