MWEB announced today (28 November 2013) that it will increase the ADSL data speeds<\/strong> on its “Standard Uncapped Shaped ADSL” and “Business Basic” products, at no additional cost to customers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MWEB will also introduce a 6Mbps product<\/strong> and reduce the price of their 10Mbps and 20Mbps standard uncapped products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This comes in response to Telkom’s ongoing ADSL line speed upgrades<\/strong> which are running from November 2013 to February 2014.<\/p>\n

MWEB said they are unable to make changes to their premium uncapped shaped and unshaped products until Telkom reduces their charges for IPC.<\/p>\n

MWEB’s Uncapped ADSL products will be automatically migrated early next year at no extra cost.<\/p>\n

If MWEB Premium Uncapped ADSL customers wish to upgrade their data products to match their new line speeds, they should call MWEB to discuss the options available.<\/p>\n

“Whilst we welcome Telkom’s initiative to double the access line speeds at no extra costs to the end-user, ISP’s cannot be expected to absorb the costs of a corresponding increase in data products,” said Derek Hershaw, CEO of MWEB ISP.<\/p>\n

“We are currently in discussions with Telkom around a significant reduction in their wholesale IPC charges. If these are not immediately forthcoming we will be referring the matter to the Competition Commission, asking them to intervene as a matter of urgency and force the issue. We can then pass on the full benefits of the line speed upgrades to all of our customers.”<\/p>\n
