The case for true Uncapped ADSL Broadband

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is of the opinion that when it comes to Uncapped ADSL Broadband, the tendency of many ADSL Broadband Providers to deploy punitive measures against high-end users (‘bandwidth hogs’) of such services must be stopped.

The argument that high-end users mostly download illegal torrents or illegally distribute copyright material is not of relevance, since it’s not the legality of downloads or anything down those lines that are under scrutiny, but the fact that ADSL Broadband Packages which are 'capped' are being advertised and sold as ‘uncapped’ which is certainly false and misleading.

In addition to the above, ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) agrees that ‘bandwidth hogs’ are adversely affecting other users, but in all fairness the blame for the state of affairs should be placed squarely on the shoulders of ADSL Broadband Providers. The selling of ADSL Broadband which is capped in the disguise of being ‘uncapped’ should be banned. Period.
