Announcing the launch of its new, cheaper uncapped ADSL products, which will complement its current Premium Uncapped ADSL product suite, Internet Service Provider MWEB has revealed that the new packages will be available from February 1, 2013.

The announcement of new uncapped ADSL products from MWEB apparently marks the company's response to Telkom's January 24 disclosure that it intends bringing about an up to 40 percent reduction in its consumer uncapped ADSL products; and a 30 percent reduction in the costs of its business uncapped products.

In its recent announcement of cheaper uncapped ADSL products, MWEB revealed that the cost of its new package of up to 2Mbps and up to 4Mbps Data Only and Data plus ADSL line will be R10 less than the new costs announced by Telkom. In addition, MWEB also said that the costs of its unthrottled 1Mbps Premium Uncapped ADSL product will still be R199p/m for Data Only and R339p/m for Data plus ADSL line.

According to MWEB, its new package of cheaper uncapped ADSL products will be ideal for moderate Web users who may be looking to take advantage of an `uncapped' experience at a fixed cost per month.

About MWEB's decision to extend its ADSL product range, the company's CEO Derek Hershaw said: "While MWEB has always promoted an unthrottled, uncapped connection as being the best way to experience the Internet, we have recognised that there is some demand for cheaper, throttled uncapped accounts."
