Telkom Wholesale has announced an effective 15% price reduction on its IP Connect (IPC) product offering with effect from 1 February 2014.
This announcement follows the 5% free IPC bandwidth allowance that was offered by Telkom Wholesale on a temporary basis from 1 October 2013.
Telkom has decided to convert that allowance into a permanent price reduction. This, together with an additional 10% price reduction, means that wholesale customers will receive an effective 15% price reduction on all new and existing IPC capacity procured from Telkom as from 01 February 2014.
This is the latest in a series of price reductions, stating with a 30% cut in April 2012 and 8% in October 2013. Taken together , the cuts translate into price reductions of about 53% over the last two years.
Telkom managing executive for Telkom Wholesale Services, Casper Kondo Chihaka, comments: “I believe that this price reduction will further assist and enable ISPs to grow fixed broadband service offerings in South Africa.
“We are also hopeful that this price reduction will ultimately result in more affordable broadband price offerings for South African broadband consumers.”
