MWeb will automatically upgrade all its uncapped 512Kbps customers to 1Mbps. The upgrade will take effect on 1 June.
The announcement comes as a result of the recent network upgrades to the Telkom-controlled Internet infrastructure in SA.
Any subscribers who have in the past month signed up for the MWeb 1Mbps products will see a reduction in their subscription from 1 June to the new rates. Existing 512Kbps customers will automatically be migrated to the new product at the same monthly cost.
MWeb CEO Rudi Jansen says the move follows the Internet service provider's commitment to bring affordable and reliable Internet to consumers.
“It is important that we follow this mantra of 'free the Web' and keep on innovating and ensuring our products evolve as the South African landscape changes,” notes Jansen.
Existing and new subscribers will have the benefit of up to 1Mbps uncapped ADSL with uncapped data-only 1Mbps ADSL retailing for R299 per month, and uncapped all-inclusive 1Mbps ADSL (with ADSL line rental) for R599 per month.
“At no extra cost, customers can have a much better experience with smooth video, voice over IP and everything else the Web has to offer. We want to encourage people to get the best out of their connectivity and explore the true wonders of the Internet.”
MWeb's 1Mbps product also offers 300 WiFi minutes (free to use at popular hotspots), e-mail filter, a special offer on AVG Internet Security and a virus filter that cleans e-mails of any recognised malware.
