In an effort to combat poor internet service delivery, Web Africa has launched a spoof political party which is positioning itself as the organisation that will make things happen online and provide uncapped internet to Web Africans 'from Boksburg to Bafokeng from Benoni to Bishopscourt'.
The WA party is canvassing South Africans nationwide to become fulltime supporters of the WA and to cross over to WA Uncapped with its Home Uncapped service, democratically priced from just R179 per month (no nasty term contract required!).
'In the interests of service delivery, our support consultants will help you switch to Web Africa's uncapped offering (or set up your new line) as quickly and painlessly as possible.' states their Manifesto released on 15 November.
In a remarkable stance for a political party, the WA is claiming to address poor service delivery, freedom and transparency, whilst offering reliability and value. This position is emphasised by ZA News' Tata & Tutu whose take on the current state of the Internet is not to be missed. Check it out at www.webafrica.co.za
The WA's uncapped internet offering for home and business users aims to mean unlimited internet at a reasonable fixed price without any contractual obligation. This is online freedom in a nutshell. Backed up by the most reliable and stable network in South Africa, this party is certainly gathering support at a rate of gigabits.
So what exactly does uncapped mean? According to the WA's ISP's for dummies guide, 'Uncapped internet has no overall bandwidth limits which means you can download and browse as much as you want within a month at a fixed monthly cost. The days of "sorry, you have reached your limit" are over '
One of their five key manifesto points centres around 'transparency', aimed at weeding out cunning tendrepreneurs who hog all the bandwidth for themselves, leaving little for their wider communities to feast on.
This means that in accordance to the WA "fair use policy", WA may limit the service offered to very heavy users for a period of time. In the interests of transparency, you can log in to your user console at any time to see if your access is close to being cut back.
Over and above all of this transparency, the WA have 'committed to ensuring that the service promised gets delivered and that the many are not paying for the privileges of the few. We promise decent rates with no hidden costs,' claims their Manifesto, and looking at the pricing of their uncapped offering, this certainly seems to be true.
