Zazu launches lower cost ADSL

Zazu has launched what it describes as a "super affordable" ADSL package geared towards the home user.

The company made headlines last year with the acquisition of the Yournet client base and again with the incorporation of Internet company Rumba.

Zazu spokesman Francois Joubert says Zazu had made a decision not to participate in the "all-you-can-eat" hype around ADSL.

"There are companies whose entire client base is built on high-end ADSL consumers who from November this year will not be able to afford the almost R2 000 for 30 gigabytes of traffic on the new Telkom tariff."

"Our target market has always been the responsible home user. We will be the first to bring affordable ADSL to the home user market." The Zazu Internet and Rumba offer is brought to the market at R149.00/month for 1GB.

Together with a DSL192 line from Telkom at R270 a month, the total bill will come to R419 per month.

New subscribers who sign up before 31 October will get an additional 5GB of traffic per month free until the new Telkom tariffs become effective on 1 November.
