I haven't seen another thread like this.. So, are you going to move to Neotel (current prices and specs) if they are available in your area? Maybe this could be a poll?
 
Sad to say, but if they offer something faster than 4mbps ADSL at a competitive price, otherwise, no, why downgrade?
 
well they did say between 300 - 700kb/s so thats fast and dont forget the higher caps so i dont consider this downgrading lol
 
If they have the better deal or same deal at lower costs ......suuuuuuurrreee :D

Hell, even if they have they same thing for the same price :p
 
From a 8Kbs speed [uncapped/shaped] to 18Kbs speed [uncapped/unshaped] it's a no brainer! :D
 
I just got off the phone, ordered the Neotel Prime connect and waiting for them to call me back with credit approval.etc.....Great coverage in my area!
 
I'd switch if they have a fibre option (ADSL or ADSL2+) Also if they come to Cape Town any time soon ;)

I dont want wireless, I even hate using the laptop to connect wirelessly to the router, wireless is just not constant!
 
nope, i will not consider moving until they have the "fixed line" system in place
 
300 kilobits/second its just not good enough. Maybe if they could provide constant 2.4Mb/s but then it would have to be a lot cheaper.

I was actually hoping for a decent priced service (such as the prime offering without the free rubbish for R300/month). If that was the case I would've signed up the service and just dropped one of my extra ADSL accounts. R600/month is too expensive for a product which undoubtedly will get exponentially worse as more subscribers sign up.

They said it will take upto 48 hours for them to deliver the device to me. And it seems that today they got some problem with the application system, lady promised to call me in 5 minutes at 10:40 this morning but still no answer......

BTW I am currently with a WISP, used to be uncapped 256k for R850/PM, 7 month ago they said they will upgrade the infrastructure to increase speed to 512 and give me only 8G P/M, out of bundle rate like R120/G.....And till today I haven't seen any increase in speed, but if you exceed your 8G now you will be put on some congested IS backbone opposed to the verizon we have. And no online system to check how much we used each month yet, for the past 3 weeks, internet only work 1-2 hour after 8pm everyday (supposed to be some upgrade they doing now). i have enough and Neotel connect prime is cheaper per month, faster and with cheaper out of bundle rates. It's good enough for me.

No telkom ADSL for me because our area is old, with old cables and we experienced a lot of line problems when I was on dial up. The telkom techie told me they have national problem with cables (not enough cables produced to be installed or replacing stolen ones). So no thanks......
 
No. Not until they loose the 24 month contract and give me an option for month-to-month
 
I won't move unless I'm offered a similar service (performance) at better rates for my budget (home use).

At the moment Neotel is way too expensive... I don't use 10GB at home.

Most of my internet usage is at work where Neotel will require a decent track record of service and reliability before it will be considered.

I have the same problem as I am on Aerosat, [PE WISP]

+ uncapped
- 64k
- shaped 24/7
- IS backbone

Basicaly I have been reduced to downloading [about 10GB's a month, stopid idiots I'll DL as much as I can!!] and browse the net used to be able to play Giuld wars with a 300 ping and use my steam account, but since they bummped the "less paying" customer to IS and the "256k+" customers to SAIX, I am unable to stay connected to any servers at all...
Thats why I am looking at the NeoConnect Lite Unlimited Basicaly the same Price as my ISP + Telkom phone line a month.
