WebAfrica last year announced that they are moving over to a tier-1 network that would enable them to provide cheaper prices and have more control over their network with regards to new types of products.
WebAfrica has since switched over to their own tier-1 network at the end of last year and promised new pricing that would compete with the now competitive local ADSL market. WebAfrica has released their new ADSL pricing and left many disappointed with prices almost double that of current ISPs like Afrihost with their R29 per GB ADSL accounts.
Although WebAfrica does provide new services with their ADSL accounts like unlimited free gaming bandwidth for playing on their new Wage gaming network and a soon to be launched steam content server that also allows for unlimited free bandwidth to download content from the steam server, it still does not justify the high prices they still charge for ADSL bandwidth.
Some users called the new WebAfrica pricing a joke and extremely disappointed while others said that they were glad they switched over to Afrihost back when they launched their R29 per GB pricing.
I personally don’t see users making use of the current Afrihost or G-Connect ADSL accounts switching over to WebAfrica any time soon. Bellow is a table of the new pricing from WebAfrica.
Far worse than this is what Web Africa is doing to its hosting resellers. The new hosting reseller pricing model is absolute highway robbery – they just dont seem to care about their resellers anymore!
Yea BF, I think WebAfrica needs to revise their pricing drastically cause I think they are losing huge number of clients lately with their bad pricing.
