40% drop in ADSL prices?

[dualmeister]

@dualmeister pfft cape town is to slow

True. With 40% off a 1 Mb line I may as well get 2 of them
Then I can download the whole internet

The "friend" at Telkom, probably asked: WYBMADIITY?

Still waiting for my ADSL so here is just an observation.

From previous Threads it seems as if 192 use to run at 384 speeds.

So the scam is: Throttel down from 384 to 192 and then "upgrade" users to 384 at the price of 192 just as it use to be. Very clever.

Hope they don't take the 192 option away. Would ruther like 192 to be cheaper. Don't need the speed myself.

When will this all be happerning?

 

[ZuBS_]

Is this rumour even true!!!

 

[Mask]

Any changes will be from 1 July I guess as they will be advertised around 10/11 June...

It's a rumour .... involving alcohol .... what do you think ?

I'll believe it when I see the decrease on my Telkom bill.

 

[fewl]

Is this rumour even true!!!

No it's not. Here's how you can tell:

Rumour that something awful is going to happen = True.
Rumour that something good is going to happen = False.

When in doubt, assume you're getting screwed

 

[Snaz]

But if so the prices dropping will the caps be taken away or lowered in price

That same guy told me the next night at another pub that there was a 40% INCREASE in prices coming in.... ROFLMAO

He was most likely correct both times. Decrease in rental, increase in per GB, or whatever. Usual Teklom

 

[Lord Anubis]

Ok just heard!! Nothing is changing....soon hehehe

BTW is this an April fools thread or what? As if a Techy would know what pricing structure is being proposed in the corporate towers. C'mon!

Surely this should be moved out of "Announcements" seeing as it's not official?

so who the hell gives a **** about the line speed !!!!!!!!! downloading 3GB over a month over 192 kbps is hardly different than downloading 3GB over a month over 384 kbps line ... !!!!!!!!!

Their financials are due soon so whatever they are planning should become public knowledge as soon as it is issued.

EDIT: the results are due 5 June
