50Mbps aggregated ADSL solution announced by RSAWEB

Waste of money.

How are they filling a gap in the market (with them using Telkom as an example) to a product not launched yet to anyone (besides trial users).

Anyone want to do a comparison in numbers if one had to do this with current solutions?
 
Best of luck because all the lines will be on the same DSLAM most probably so if the DSLAM is down every thing is down .
 
I'm pretty sure that as expensive as Telkom's 40Mbps offer will be, it'll blow the socks off of this.
Also, if you have 5 lines that can only sync at 1Mbps (as mentioned previously it'll probably be on the same DSLAM), you'll only have a very expensive 5Mbps solution anyway. The only advantage might be upload bandwidth.
 
Was reading some bulgarian magazines the other day and saw an add with one of the biggest providers that side with 30mb for R.25 standard price and 50mb on special till month end for R.30 p/m 1 year contract.
 
Eish... instead of going forward,

we creating more Telscum's... must be a virus in the air that CEO's breathe.
 
Using 5 lines for 50Mbit, its still only 5Mbit upload (4Mbit in real terms)

R16k for 4mbit is very poor upload speeds for R16000.

better 15/15mbit fibre at R11k or 50/50mbit fixed wifi at +-R20k
 
I push more than 100gb in a 10 day cycle and yet I only pay R500 a month.
 
compared to a fishbone solution it costs way less.
 
I think Neotel fibre is a way better proposition at R11750 or somewhere around there for a 15Mbps (both ways) and maybe add one or two normal ADSL lines with basic uncapped for normal browsing. If you are in this market you shouldn't have a problem getting someone to set up a router to manage the traffic between the WAN links as needed.

While it is good to see someone taking the normal ADSL line bonding up to current max ADSL speeds it is not really that innovative and is a tad on the high side for price. I can see it being useful should you not have Neofibre available and you need a full 4Mbps upload for video or something in that line.

From a redundancy point of view you would really want one or two of those lines going to a different exchange, but that is unlikely. Otherwise you still have essentially one cable to one exchange, so the only redundancy would really be around an interface failure.
