Uncapped ADSL accounts remain a popular way for South Africans to access the Internet, especially as streaming video services like ShowMax and Netflix gain traction.
While some consumers prefer to purchase their ADSL access and ISP account from separate providers, combining these aspects of an ADSL service can result in savings.
Many prominent Internet service providers offer uncapped ADSL bundles, where the ISP handles the subscriber’s ADSL line.
Below is a pricing comparison of prominent ISPs’ uncapped ADSL bundles.
It must be noted that the prices below exclude Telkom’s analogue line rental fee of R189 per month.

Would be interesting to see the throttling thresholds for the various services alongside these prices. I’m on the 4mbps Mweb package listed here, but with only 110GB / month before getting throttled, I’m seriously considering another ISP. Steam downloads and streaming kills that threshold pretty quickly. And the throttling is so bad you might as well not have internet at all. Not even Facebook or Google loads completely.
