this is affordable to most compared to what they paying atm
Is it a fixed line service they are offering?
All international download? And what if you want to download more than 10Gb?I download about 10GB's a month... it's all worth it

is R70GB, charged per MB, so you could call it roll over bandwidth.
It's all international and then when you go over your 10GB you are charged 7c per Meg (not 100% sure how the billing will work though)
Why does everyone say this is beyond their budget? Before Neotel everyone would complain about how much they pay to Telkom, and if you had even a 384kb line with 5GB and Telkom line rental you were already paying at least the same as for this service, where you get much more.
What do you mean, do you realise how much cheaper they have come in? It's already R50 cheaper, then add 10GB of bandwidth. The cheapest you get that is for is R450. So it's a R500 difference, I think that is substantial enough to make most people want to move over.
Well I'm on that package and I'm thinking of moving just for the 10GB and no Telkom line rental. I just can't afford enough bandwidth with SAIX.
Another thing, why does everyone expect so much higher caps? Neotel can't really do anything wrt international bandwidth pricing atm. 10GB at that price is actually very good seeing as they have to go through SAT3 the same as Telkom do. There is no way they could have just left it uncapped or gone much higher for the same price, yet everyone expects this.

I think one of the biggest advantages is actually the out-of-bundle rate for bandwidth. It is a first in the market at these rates - multiple times cheaper than any other per-MB rate from the mobile players or iBurst and cheaper than any ADSL provider to the best of my knowledge.
Ah ok, sorrySorry, that was my error (I was editing late last night) ... not Maneesh
NO to e-toll, NO to e-tags! Why the inefficient e-toll system? We pay tax on salaries, fuel, and vehicle driver's licenses. Stop it NOW!
Same here! Their offer is great but paying R600, nah!
Nothing is worth more than this day. - Goethe************************************
Maybe Telkom isnt feeling too threatened but iBurst, and to a degree Vodacom and MTN, should be very worried and thinking long and hard about their rates.

Nah, I'm not impressed.
I'll stick with my HSDPA until they actually make some serious and affordable offers.
No - a nomadic service may describe it best. Image of device here: http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/show...php?photo=3638
