Savings already on way from Telkom rival

i wonder which service provider will offer better caps etc because of Neotel
 
A lack of instant takeup for its initial services does not worry him

Telkom has locked up most of it's choicest business customers into long term contracts.
 
This is true. Hopefully Neotel will show themselves to be a good quality company and many other big players will swap over. So far they're doing good.
 
Slowly...

Please please not slowly..
 
By the end of the year, national bandwidth will be available to large corporate clients. “They just have to wait,” he said.

Strange. That is about as long as you need to wait for telscum in any case :confused:

Doesn't telscum actually have the lines allready installed? Oh, they laid off 35,000 techies...
 
"access to 5 undersea cables to 200 countries"

I hope that means they won't even have to use the Sat3 cable, which should mean a hell of a lot cheaper international bandwidth for us and hopefully much higher caps or even uncapped. One can only speculate at this stage until an ISP actually tells us what Neotel is offering them.
 
hopefull savings will be transparent and passed down to end users because if they don't have their own isp they can't force isp's to lower prices, heh i see mweb is added there.. no doubt they won't get cheaper.

Yup - thanks to ICASA's vague regulations, all the consumer can do is ask the ISP's to please pass on the savings.
 
Intl:Neotel Local:Telkom?

One disappointment for internet service providers is that Neotel’s services do not include the supply of national bandwidth, which forces them to continue buying national lines from Telkom.

O no....So Neotel's International bandwidth is going to be cheaper (hopefully) than Telkom,but Telkom's Local bandwidth is going to be cheaper than Neotel's.
Unless it's cheaper to take the traffic outside, and to route it back in again :eek!
^Reminds me of a similar situation a good time ago...
Could this be what'll happen?

Cant wait to see these 'savings' passed down the line!:D
 
neotel's international bandwidth will be cheaper than telkoms and telkoms local bandwidth will be cheaper then neotels but its unlikely then neotels int bandwidth will be cheaper than telkoms local bandwidth. So the answer to your question id13 is no.

I understand your reasoning…but one may dream…lol

I’m just glad to see this stirring in the market now that Neotel is running. And glad to know that international bw will be cheaper somewhere in the future.

They own a large chunk of that cable - Telkom's just got an exclusivity wrt landing it here AFAIK and that ends in April '07

Now if only government didn't bungle and delay the SNO and they actually opened for business when they were originally supposed to, we could've been at the stage where Neotel was cash-generative and decent savings could be passed to consumers today and not in another 3 or 4 years time. Ironically, that's when World Cup 2010 hits our shores ... co-incidence or careful planning to milk the cow for every last drop before getting caught with your pants around your ankles? :D

Amazing how Telkom's projects seem to become cash-generative in less than 6 months!
