ADSL prices over the years

[Alchemist]

Thing about here in the UK, its one standard line rental fee, regardless of your line speed or whether you have ADSL attached to it, I pay my £8 pounds a month and that's it

What South Africa really needs is a second national operator. Wait. Whats that? NeoWho?

I guess there'll be fewer complaints about line rental if everything worked as it should.
If you really think about it you are paying Telkom R413 p/m to install & maintain your 4Mbps line. That's R5000 a year.
Why would anyone settle for a line that doesn't sync at full speed? Phone them & bug them until they fix it for you - after all you're paying them for that line. Every single month.

I tried that, and sadly did not suceed. After having 4 different techie's at my house, and telkom head office checking up on it, i still only sync at 1mbit

I'm afraid that the broadband bus has been moving too fast for Telkom to cope with...

The rest of the first class telecoms world has migrated to bullet trains and we are still on a PUTCO bus held together with bloudraad!

flip man these guys are like the ANC- with no REAL competition, there is no incentive for them to up their game and lower their prices

So sad, but so true
