Openweb yesterday announced their latest month-end-madness special offer in the ADSL space: 50GBs of shaped ADSL data for R289. This translates into a price of R5.78 per GB.
Users are however warned that peer-to-peer and torrent services are shaped, and that the account will only work from the day of purchase until 15 November 2010. Any unused data will be lost on 15 November.
Potential subscribers should further note that these accounts only allow for a single concurrent connection, and that the maximum speed supported is 4Mbps.
This special from Openweb compares very favorably with similar offerings in the market like Afrihost’s 50GB ADSL accounts which retail at R475 per month, Axxess’ 50 GB DSL Lite service priced at R950 and Web Africa’s 55 GB data bundles priced at R2 450 per month.
Users with 384 Kbps ADSL lines may however benefit more from the myriad of 384 Kbps uncapped ADSL services which are priced between R99 per month (Axxess’ Justsurf accounts) and R219 per month (MWEB uncapped ADSL services).
Openweb continues to innovate
This latest offering from Openweb follows the launch of its Uncapped, Unshaped Static IP products range earlier this week and its lower priced Gold Uncapped service in mid-October.
Openweb typically makes use of Internet Solutions as an upstream bandwidth provider – a relationship which allowed Openweb to carve out a niche for itself with cheap, high-bandwidth, local only service, before the uncapped revolution occured.
