Web Africa releases Business Uncapped ADSL

Web Africa announced today the launch of a new product to its offerings: Business Uncapped ADSL, aimed at SMEs and business users.

Web Africa's new Business Uncapped offering has international bandwidth provisioned through SAT3, with redundancy via SEACOM, to ensure business customers achieve high speeds on a reliable and stable connection, and has been competitively priced according to the industry standard.

Web Africa CEO Matthew Tagg had this to say about the new offering: “Web Africa Business Uncapped ADSL is intended for those who want the best possible performance from their ADSL line for their business. Furthermore, redundancy is par for the course, with SAT3 bandwidth being primary and SEACOM bandwidth for failover. I believe this is going to be the top uncapped product available to businesses in South Africa.”

This makes Web Africa Business Uncapped a good choice for businesses that want to keep costs under control at a fixed rate and go about their normal course of business at fast speed on a trustworthy connection.

“What also sets our product apart is our transparency, in terms of excessive usage and AUP rules clearly laid out in the online console with a graphical meter,” he added.

Customers have a wide selection of line speeds along with the option to either purchase a data-only package, or a complete package, which includes ADSL line rental in the cost - at a discounted price from that of Telkom's.

Additional value-adds to the Business Uncapped ADSL offering include:

1. A low contention ratio
2. Prioritised bandwidth
3. Premium 24-hour business support
4. Ten e-mail accounts
5. Advanced usage management interface
6. No contracts

“Static IPs are not available yet, but we are currently working on including this and will be available within the next two months,” says Cliff Hazell, Head of Product and Marketing.

Web Africa is still to introduce a consumer-focused uncapped offering to the market, but is committed to keeping up the brand's reputation in providing a fast and reliable service.

With regards to Home uncapped, Tagg commented: “While we would like to offer a Home uncapped product, this is not viable for us at this stage at the price points set by the market, while still delivering an acceptable quality product. We do review this constantly, as the costs come down, however, IPC cost, an unregulated Telkom fee, remains one of the biggest hurdles in this goal. Ultimately, we'd like to be able to offer both choices of quality and affordability for consumers.”
