Web Africa releases first off-peak ADSL for home users

Web Africa, in an innovative move which will shake up the South African ISP market, today launched a new Home ADSL product range, called Home Connect, an ADSL package whereby bandwidth is allocated according to home users' needs at a highly competitive price.

Home Connect is different to any other ADSL package currently on the market. Web Africa, having analysed typical home user bandwidth usage trends, has created an ADSL package with peak and off-peak usage allowances, resulting in highly competitive pricing, starting with a 2GB package from only R29 per month.

All packages will still qualify for Web Africa's existing ADSL add-ons, such as a discounted ADSL line rental and ultra-low cost downloading between midnight and 6am, “Download Plus”.

Head of Product and Marketing, Cliff Hazell, says: “We have specifically designed this product for home users who are looking for good value for their money and don't want to spend a fortune on quality ADSL. The majority of home users' bandwidth is utilised outside of business hours or on weekends, allowing us to offer 'off-peak' usage at much lower rates, while still providing sufficient bandwidth for normal peak-time usage and pass the value on to our customers.”
