Bulk DSL offers



  • We resell access to the three primary South African networks (often referred to as the first tier networks). Internet Solutions, Verizon and SAIX (Telkom) each provide the best performance networks in the country
  • Although these are known to each other as 'peers' the quality of service varies by time and month and year.
  • For uncapped accounts of more than 10GB we have a special promotion on our current network of choice, Internet Solution fibre + which is an unshaped connection (after hours - during working hours p2p traffic is shaped). This is an unbeatable offer as it results in high quality unshaped bandwidth at an unbeatable price similar to normal shaped bandwidth.

    • 10GB @ R550inc and R59inc per GB postpaid
