Afrihost slashes ADSL data cost

Following their successful Capped DSL Double Data promotion, Afrihost is slashing Capped DSL prices by up to 66%.

New clients signing up from 18 September will get more data for the same price, while existing clients will automatically receive the additional data benefit as of 1 October. This new offer means that Capped clients will pay as little as R3.99 per GB for Anytime Unshaped data – the lowest per GB price on the SA broadband market.

“This is not a promotion but a permanent offer,”” the company said in a statement yesterday. “”Afrihost’s top priority has always been to bring affordable Internet to South Africans. They first delighted the broadband community by introducing DSL data at R29 per GB in 2009. Even though others have followed, Afrihost continues to raise the bar by introducing Capped DSL at less than R4 per GB. Afrihost still has the unofficial title of the cheapest monthly DSL product on the market.””

Each existing Capped DSL client will soon receive a mail outlining changes to their packages, which will come into effect from 1 October. New clients can sign up now at the new prices on their website.
