South Africa: MWEB slashes ADSL prices

MWEB is expected to slash the price of its uncapped ADSL products as well as increase the data for its capped customers.

High end capped customers are expected to have their data cap increased by up to double the amount. A Night Time Data promotion is also being offered, where customers will receive additional data to be used between 12am and 6am. According to MWEB, customers on a 30 GB package will be increased to 50 GB and they will receive an additional 50 GB of Night Time Data, for the original price of their package.

MWEB Connect GM Carolyn Holgate, stated that: “Our Capped ADSL customers will benefit hugely from the new data cap changes we are introducing. Not only will their daytime data caps be increased at no extra cost, they will also be given the same amount of extra data to be used at night. These changes are part of our plan to connect more people to the wonderful world of the Internet, and to give our existing customers a better Internet experience.”

Additionally, MWEB has revealed that its 10 Mbps Uncapped price has been reduced by R60 with the aim of making high speed ADSL packages more affordable and accessible. Similarly all the Small Business Uncapped Lite products have also received a price discount and a new 6 Mbps Small Business Uncapped ADSL product has been introduced for R695 per month. This product allows users to maximise the potential of a 10 Mbps line with an affordable data package.

MWEB customers who are eligible for the upgrades or price changes will be automatically switched to their new product by 01 September 2014.
