Telkom acting 'anti-competitively'? Never!
View http://www.internet.org.za/costs.html and note the increase in Telkom's hold on the ISP market, growing steadily at a high rate while naturally the competitors decline. In a few years, with the ineptitude this government shows to get things MOVING, they will hold 100% of the market. Unbelievable, that even now, it should be moving in the wrong direction.

What a clever marketing tactic. No doubt lots of package offerings being dropped into the equation... a review on a new television - 'and yes, you can buy it on XXX.co.za' - point being, they own 100% shares in this company! Wouldn't put it past them. Actually, they don't need to, with the fat profits they're making. They can just sit back, and let that editor piss off to the Bahamas on a holiday. Since your bandwidth limit is reached by local and international internet access, it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER if they really did set this up. Doesn't alleviate our limitations.

Still costs too much for what it is.

Hopefully the soon to be Telkom upgrades will fix that for me but I'm currently paying for 4mbps only getting 2mbps, that's about 2mbps not to get.
