MWeb offers bundled DSL, 3G | TechCentral

MWeb has teamed up with MTN to offer consumers two product bundles that include both fixed digital subscriber line (DSL) and 3G broadband access for a single, monthly fee.

The company has created two bundles. The first consists of a 384kbit/s DSL data package with a 2GB cap and a 2GB MTN 3G package and costs R199/month. The second, aimed at the higher end of the market, includes an uncapped 384kbit/s data package and an “Uncapped Lite” MTN 3G package for R499/month.

MTN’s “Uncapped Lite” allows users 3GB of 3G data per month at full connection speeds, and access to 3G at severely throttled speeds thereafter.

Both packages include an ADSL router and a USB 3G modem. Customers will have access to a 2GB mailbox, 5GB of online file storage and free uncapped hosting for a year.

Derek Hershaw, CEO of MWeb’s Internet service provider business, says it is increasingly necessary for consumers to remain connected to the Internet both at home and on the move.
The bundles are available on a month-to-month basis, with no minimum subscription period.
