Telkom announced last month that as of 1 July 2011, its Faster DSL customers will enjoy an 11.3% decrease in the monthly ADSL line rental fee (from R326 to R289).<\/p>\n

This price reduction came after Telkom had already increased the speed for its Faster DSL customers from up to 512Kbps to up to 1024Kbps on 1 May 2011.<\/p>\n

MWEB has announced that they will join ISPs such as Vox Telecom and Web Africa in passing on the savings from Telkom to their subscribers.<\/p>\n

MWEB ISP CEO Derek Hershaw said that they are going to further reduce the pricing on their “All Inclusive 1Mbps products” from next month.<\/p>\n

“For new customers it will be effective 1 July 2011 and for our existing customers, from 1 August 2011. We had already billed them for July when Telkom made the announcement,” said Hershaw.<\/p>\n

MWEB’s standard all-inclusive 1Mbps uncapped shaped service is now priced at R588, down from the previous R599.<\/p>\n

MWEB Business’ Uncapped Unshaped 1Mbps bundled service now costs R1288 per month instead of the usual R1299.<\/p>\n
