Neotel are just repeating themselves.

We've known for months already that they've got their Metro-rings up and running.
 
What happens if you're a home user in a covered area and you can afford the ridiculously high business pricing, can you get access to the Neotel fttx?
 
“Contrary to recent media reports fibre to the premise (FTTX) for enterprise customers is available today from Neotel. Why wait for another two years when you can have the service in a matter of days.” says Stefano Mattiello, Executive Head of Enterprise Group at Neotel.

I'm guessing nothing stops you from being a one man business enterprise :D

Would you consider reselling bandwidth or sharing that connection? :D :p
 
I just phoned them and Fibre is for big business only, they will be releasing other packages but it will mostly be wireless BS

Neotel is an epic FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They lay all this fibre to connect the wireless towers together, how silly.

Telkom won't be pushed into a corner in the near future by wireless BS

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I'd love to leave Telkom - I'd leave them in an instant, but not without a fixed-line alternative. Wireless doesn't appeal to me, at all.

Not according to their press releases :confused:

[ Cape Town | ITWeb, 8 October 2008 ] - Neotel already offers fibre as a last mile solution, although it is mainly for businesses. However, there is no reason why some homeowners cannot get it, if they can afford it, says the fixed-line operator.

A fibre connection in SA for HOME use? Our home DSL is already a massive rip off. What is fibre going to cost you? Probably more expenive than your bond repayments
 
What good is fibre to the premisis when they still offer pisswilly bandwidth per buck? The prices i have got are still tens of thousands of rands for 2 mbits. Its like driving a porsche but limiting it to 10km/h because petrol is too expensive!
 
Neotel is definitely fast asleep. Telkom is probably laying back.. and having a nice laugh at them... As things are going Neotel won't attract the masses.

In SA wireless is more stable since you have more than one option (when vodacom fails, I just slot in the MTN sim). Wireless is the future and it is here to stay. Cable is yeterday and wil die. Mark my words and we talk again in 2 years.

Agreed.
Wireless can never ever get to fixed line latency.
Until there is a company that actually provide a fixed line alternative (unlike Neotel) telkom has the monopoly.

Comon Neotel man, dump the Cap idea and give us fibre to home.

*nod* That and wireless is still subject to weather conditions, I believe.

When/if Neotel ever give us fibre-to-home... I think I might cry :) If that were ever uncapped or a 50GB cap... I might have to get a reality check done in the process.
