Afrihost, the broadband Internet service provider (ISP) that sparked South Africa's ADSL price war with its R29 per GB offer, has announced pricing for its first uncapped ADSL products.
Users will be able to source uncapped ADSL from Afrihost from as little as R197 a month for a 384kbps line. For uncapped data on a 512kbps you'll pay R297 per month, and for uncapped data on a 4096 kbps line you'll pay R497 per month. Prices are for bandwidth only and exclude line rental costs through Telkom.
"When we launched our R29 per GB offer almost six months ago, we knew that South African users craved more affordable ADSL.

"But we knew that many users wanted more. Over the past few months, we have been testing an uncapped product, which we are now ready to introduce to the market."
The Uncapped 4096 kbps product is available for purchase through the Afrihost website or Client Zone with immediate effect.
Sign-ups will be limited for now, with accounts granted to users on a first-come, first-served basis.
