I totally agree with Imaginet here. Unless LLU is implemented into the Bill, the prices for 10GB,20GB & 30GB will stay static.

According to this http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showpost.php?p=250399&postcount=3 - the price for the adept r30 package in the article is incorrect. Has anyone else received info from Adept about pricing?

Thought it was too good to be true
30GB for R358 would be very reasonable. Drop the line rental and it would be a perfect price for ADSL in SA. Still too much compared to a lot of other countries, but thats understandable, because bandwidth is expensive says Telkom.
I'm not saying its not true - just saw it in another thread. Anyone been in contact with adept? Their website needs updating either way.VQuest said:Thought it was too good to be true

Hi folks
I have just spoken to Adept's MD, Jacques Pieterse, and he has confirmed that these prices are correct (prices ex VAT). Their employees/website are not yet up to speed, but according to Johan you can order the products at the prices given in the article.

I spoke to a oke at Adept 30 minits ago, he said the article must be wrong, their offering is R480(inc) for 30 GB and their 30GB terminates when its used up.
It's posible thow that the poor oke has just been kept outa the loop thow.

And again, see my other post... We have a 'unlimited' offer on the table as well. If they can do it, and at those prices... Why can't the others?

Quick ask for a test account to test performance.
Is a Saix account?
Poor axxess how are they going to top that.

There's no need to top it initially - just equal. Perhaps thats what their ad alluding to the big changes in 14 days is all about. Of course with the cat out of the bag they'd be better off telling us now before its too late for them.playkiller no.2 said:Quick ask for a test account to test performance.

rmp - thanks for getting a definitive answer out of adept!
This is awesome news indeed, but i think the effects will be far reaching. I have a sneaky suspicion that Telkom will be shocking us come August. Either their own 30GB offerings will be even less than Adept's or they will completely wipe the smirks off our faces by increasing line rental. Something just has to give...
