Thanks for the update. You are 100% correct and I was comparing my old pay-as-you-go account with WebAfrica with the AfriHost deal I moved to where I agree to purchase 5GB upfront with the option to top up. Definitely not an apples to apples comparison.

Thanks for pointing out the updated WebAfrica numbers – definitely cheaper and I’ll update the blog to that effect!

Cheers

Thank you for mentioning us in your blog post. I would just like to clarify 1 thing about Web Africa.
You say: “My typical internet usage is 5 gig per month so on Web Africa thats a bit more than R300 per month for my data.”

This isnt exactly true as we have data accounts from R59, where you can top up for as little as R15 per gig.
So, in essence, if you had a Data 1 account for R59 (1GB) and recharged with 3GB’s at R45, that would only cost you R104.
You can see the options here: http://www.webafrica.co.za/adsl/standard/

Our line speeds are also super fast if you are looking for a speedy connection. :)

Good luck in finding the right option for you!

Kind Regards,
