I took a little time to reflect on changes in adsl over the past year and its so sad
Comparing adsl as I have it now when I look back to when the events seem to have been going like so...
Telkom : Dropped prices of 512k by R200 over a year and introduced faster and slower options.
SAIX: Overall performance drop especially in P2P and Games and soon to be hard cap.
UUNET: From expensive good uncapped to expensive horribly shaped uncapped, to no sales uncapped.
Internet Solutions: Heavy performance degradation of P2P and gaming, less bandwidth available to capped users (they actually used to give you 10% that they promised)
ISP's : Prices slowly going down, introduction of large cap sizes but november sees the death of that.
So basically the only good thing that has happened in a year is a line rental decrease, the user's HAVE to have increased in a year and yet degradation in service, you gotta love telkom.
ICASA are being horribly slow to act, making me wonder if they going to act at all.
I dont see why anyone should be happy about any price from november as its just more money for less bandwidth/performance
