Leading telecommunications operator Sentech is taking the delivery of wireless broadband Internet services to the next competitive level, with the announcement of three new exciting offerings on its MyWireless Internet platform: MyWireless Plus, MyWireless Lite and MyWireless Family.
The announcement confirms Sentech's renewed commitment to the marketplace, which effectively sees the company differentiating itself with more competitive and easily obtainable product offerings.
In support of the new product offerings, Sentech has also announced its entire network has been upgraded to offer improved download speeds of up to 1Mb per second.
The new flexiPlus offers consumers significant value as it considerably increases the amount of free data allocation on each contract, thus reducing the effective price per megabyte.
In the case of the flexi200plus (available from R199 per month), users will now receive 500Mb of free data, which is 300Mb more than the original 200Mb available on the original flexi200 offering.
"Essentially, our flexiPlus range is offering consumers more bang for their buck. Although the contract-pricing remains the same, existing as well as new customers will now benefit from a significant increase in data allocation," comments Marcel Steyn, MyWireless product manager, Sentech SA.
Importantly, all existing flexi customers will from 1 March 2007 automatically be upgraded to the flexiPlus packages, while new users will be able to purchase a modem at a reduced price of R1 500.
Sentech's MyWireless flexiLite is essentially enabling fixed-line dial-up users and those with no connectivity, to effortlessly take the next step to wireless broadband at just R99 per month.
"With MyWireless flexiLite we are now targeting a large potential customer base, that is, users that are still using dial-up modems or with no Internet access at all. Indeed, with MyWireless flexiLite users can now access the Internet with relative ease and utilise all the benefits that come with continuous broadband connectivity at a significantly lower price point," says Steyn.
The offer, which is available exclusively through Sentech's value-added partners, includes a month-to-month contract that comprises 150Mb free data per month, which can either be capped or extended through a pre-arranged agreement.
Furthermore, potential users can purchase the MyWireless modem at a reduced price of R439, which is very cost-effective when compared to similar offerings. Additionally, as the MyWireless flexiLite contract has a 31-day notice period, users can easily upgrade to the flexiPlus product range without having to buy a modem again.
MyWireless flexiFamily was created for families with multiple Internet users that don't necessarily want to share the same PC or modem, or apply for a separate contract. For an additional R49 per month, Sentech is enabling customers to add an additional user on a separate modem.
MyWireless flexiFamily is available at R399 per month on a 24-month contract which includes a new MyWireless USB modem or PCMCIA card and 1Gb free data per month. One hundred and fifty Mb free data will be allocated to additional members who join the account, which is then deducted from the main account. Additional members will be offered refurbished MyWireless modems at R100, as well as a unique username and e-mail.
"Again, MyWireless flexiFamily enables users to easily gain access to wireless broadband connectivity. The barrier-to-entry is minimal and the benefits even more substantial, as up to four members of each family can now get their own modem, user name and e-mail address, thus making using the internet simultaneously at various locations just so much easier," says Steyn.
MyWireless flexiFamily is available from Sentech's official value-added partners.
