MWEB<\/a> is introducing new throttled uncapped ADSL<\/a> products which will be available from 1 February 2013. This comes after Telkom<\/a> announced last week that it will be cutting its Uncapped ADSL prices.<\/p>\n

MWEB\u2019s new products will complement its existing Premium Uncapped ADSL product suite, and will be available to South African consumers from 01 February 2013.<\/p>\n

MWEB\u2019s new “up to 2Mbps” and “up to 4Mbps” Data Only and Data plus ADSL line offerings will be R10 cheaper than Telkom\u2019s new prices.<\/p>\n

MWEB\u2019s 1Mbps Premium Uncapped ADSL pricing remains unchanged at R199 per month for data only and R339 per month for data plus an ADSL line (ADSL access).<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike 1Mbps competitor offerings, this product will remain unthrottled,\u201d MWEB highlighted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst MWEB has always promoted an unthrottled, uncapped connection as being the best way to experience the Internet, we have recognised that there is some demand for cheaper, throttled uncapped accounts and have therefore extended our product range to cater for this,\u201d said Derek Hershaw<\/a>, CEO of MWEB ISP.<\/p>\n

The new packages adhere to all MWEB quality standards and are well suited to moderate internet users who still wish to benefit from an Uncapped experience with a fixed monthly bill.<\/p>\n

Hershaw explained that they will maintain a fair service for all their subscribers by implementing throttling on high usage users where applicable (throttled speeds: 2Mbps, 192Kbps; 4Mbps – 256Kbps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will monitor usage across these products and reserve the right to throttle the connection speeds of the top percentage of subscribers on these products that generate usage above the average,\u201d said Hershaw.<\/p>\n

The MWEB ISP CEO added that their new uncapped ADSL products are also shaped, meaning that certain internet activities like e-mail and web browsing will be prioritized over bandwidth intensive services like P2P and torrents during peak network conditions.<\/p>\n
