Dial-up users who do not subscribe to M-Web are no longer blocked from M-Web`s content Web sites.

Independent tests conducted by ITWeb yesterday and today confirm that sites including Supersport, the electronic Mail & Guardian, News24 and Women24 are all viewable through both Absa and Icon dial-up accounts.

M-Web`s own portal site, www.mweb.co.za, still remains blocked to dial-up users not subscribed to M-Web. According to the message displayed on the site, "access to www.mweb.co.za, including all content partner sites and member services, is exclusive to M-Web members".

M-Web restricted access to its content portals in February. The Cape Town-based Internet service provider was not available for comment at time of publication.
