I can hardly contain my excitement: R145 for 5GB! Kick ASS! Competition in the broadband market? Cheaper prices? I think I just peed my pants.

Afrihost set to shake up ADSL market with R 29.00 per GB ADSL service
Local hosting company Afrihost has released the proverbial cat among the pigeons with its R 29.00 per GB ADSL offering. The company today announced that it has cut the price of its ADSL data bundles from R 57 per GB to R 29 per GB.
Afrihost’s 1 GB data bundle now costs R 29.00 per month while the company’s 2 GB, 3 GB and 5 GB ADSL data bundle pricing has been reduced to R 58, R 87 and R 145 respectively. Data top-ups have fallen to R29 per GB and their prepaid data lowered to R49 per GB.
The ADSL bandwidth is provisioned over the Internet Solutions backbone and all accounts come standard with email accounts and webmail access. The accounts are month-to-month contracts with no long term lock-ins.
“With our new offer we wanted to make as BIG a splash as possible and give the most value to our clients – so after much debating and calculating we decided to go as low as we can go,” explains Afrihost CEO Gian Visser.
Afrihost made it clear that it is a limited offer aimed at early adopters. “Remember we can’t guarantee that we will offer this R29.00 deal forever – but what we can guarantee you is that if you are quick enough and signup in time then your price of R29 per GB will be locked in for whatever package you bought,” Visser said.
Existing Afrihost ADSL clients may be happy to hear that their subscription price has also been changed to R 29.00 per GB.
Thank you Afrihost. Much love. Let us hope others follow where you have led the way.
