Afrihost has said that their uncapped DSL clients will have extra capacity sent their way. The ISP has also reduced prices on capped products through an extended promotion.
“A planned 21% upgrade on Afrihost’s network capacity, with capacity already added in the Northern region and more expected in the Southern and Eastern regions, will mean uncapped clients can expect less shaping on their non-real-time protocols,” Afrihost said.
Afrihost has launched their new “capped DSL double data” promotion, offering their capped ADSL subscribers double their monthly data allowance at the same price. This means that Afrihost effectively reduced their capped ADSL prices by 50%.
All of Afrihost’s capped data packages (excluding bundles) will be doubled and are available immediately for new signups. All existing Afrihost capped data clients will automatically be given double their data allowance from the 1 April 2014.
Afrihost’s “capped DSL double data” promotion will run until 30 September, at which time the offer will be revised or extended.
The following table provides an overview of Afrihost’s new capped ADSL data bundles during the promotional period.
