Johannesburg - Internet service provider WirelessG has slashed broadband prices on its ADSL, 3G and WiFi access products by up to 59% for the festive season.
Carel van der Merwe, CEO of WirelessG, said that tariffs have been reduced between the beginning of December 2009 and the end of January 2010 as part of a promotion.
He added that discounts of between 39% and 59% on all access mediums are available, with a cap of up to 9GB for only R200.
"The effective price on ADSL is as low as 2.2 cents per MB, while 3G is 28 cents per MB. However, when using this convergence bundle users will be required to consume their entire data allocation within 30 days of its purchase," explained Van der Merwe.
"While the promotion won't see any data capacity rolling over from one month to the next, as is the case with the existing G-Connect product, the big win is that the offering is unlimited in the sense that existing and new users can purchase as many of these '30-day passes' as desired," he said.
"We believe that the promotion will do wonders for opening the market's eyes to what's possible with substantially larger data capacity limits and more cost-effective pricing," he said.
"This exercise will also give us and the market a view of what's to come in the near future," he said.
WirelessG's announcement followed within days of ISP Afrihost announcing that it will continue to support its R29 per MB ADSL structure for the foreseeable future, funded from its marketing budget.
