Since the introduction of ADSL we’ve been crowing for two things: Lower Internet access prices and the abolishment of the 3GB cap

Eventually? Eventually? Yes, I'm sure it will happen eventually, but I think the point is that it should have happened A LONG TIME AGO.

No, it should not happen 'eventually' it should happen now. Its already wrong that telkom controls it and it will continue to be wrong.
We have waited for 8 years... for what? Heavily shaped uncapped internet and PerGB prices that are still above R10... Not good enough.
We are where other countries were at around 1999 to 2002 or so. Our internet is not moving forward at a rate that can compare to first world status.
Instead of saying "ok we have this, lets give them another 8 years to come up with a better package" we should say "Right, grow up telkom and ANC and give the consumer some rights, we want and NEED better internet connectivity at lower prices which will allow growth in the sector and bring more money and education into the county, stop being such a55holes and let us grow"

LLU will not happen anytime soon. The latest it can occur is towards 2020. I am in possession of document that is against LLU and has valid and strong reasons against it. Howerver what will happen is that ISP's will be required to supply their own backhaul and core services. The last mile copper has an owner.

#$!@#$ can people(mybb members) stop saying "imminent", getting a biiiiit toooo much now...
Well written article, but lacking substance. I agree we've come a long way, but there's no indication that local loop unbundling is on the horizon. I don't agree that we should all sit around being pleased that things are better. As you said, 8 years to get to where we should have been from the beginning. 384k uncapped for R480 per month (analogue line rental included) is hardly cause to celebrate. It's progress, but there is a hell of a long way to go still.
Aaaaaarrrgggghhhhh !
That's what we heard last time:

2011 deadline unlikely to be met
It is now two years later and very little has happened in the LLU space. LLU is such a pressing issue for smaller telecoms providers that the Internet Service Providers' Association of South Africa (ISPA) earlier this year called on ICASA to confirm that it is on track to meet the November 2011 deadline for the unbundling of the local loop.

another point to note is that Telkom mostly work on layers 1 - 3. layers 4 - 7 are provided by ISPs. if LLU will occur who do you think will provide L1 - 3? For those that are not familiar with the OSI model here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

The author states that he is happy with calling 384Kb/s broadband, because it is better than dial-up.
That is like saying we must be satisfied with donkey cars as our only means of transport, when they already landed on the moon.
