Telkom slashed its uncapped ADSL prices on 1 February 2013, which sparked a price war in the South African Internet service provider (ISP) market.
Most prominent ISPs, including MWEB, Web Africa, Cybersmart and Openweb, announced new prices which compete more favourably against Telkom’s new uncapped rates.
Consumers can now subscribe to a 1Mbps uncapped ADSL account for as little as R175 per month (excluding ADSL access and line rental).
It can be challenging to keep up with all the uncapped ADSL price movements in the market over the last two weeks, but the following table makes it easy to compare the new prices.
It should be noted that only service providers which recently reduced their rates are listed below.
