Are you moving?

Simple answer: Yes.

Telkom has been the bane of my life for too long. I'll support NeoTel.
 
I would goto Neotel (When they get to Cape Town).

Only thing that bothers me about Neotel is...

* The modem (only 1 PC, cuts you off the internet when making/receiving a call?)
* Can't you use other PPPoE accounts (Like IS)
* 24 month contract?
 
The contract is the main issue. If it was a twelve month contract, then i would consider it, since seacom is due for operation in twelve months.
 
24 months contract but you just pay some cancellation fee when you want to terminate.
 
The expensive equipment is what puts me off them. It just results in a 24-month contract, which I REALLY don't want to sign. 2 Years is a heck of a long time.

I'm sure they could offer their modem at R500 if they just removed the telephone part of it, including the fancy-looking screen. Just give us a plain modem at a reasonable price and offer a month-to-month service.

Then I'd switch in a heartbeat!

I doubt if data only contracts are where the gold is for Neotel. Being able to increase spend with each call made off-net must yield big bucks.
 
It's not really a 24month contract people!!!

You can still cancel your internet service at any time. The only thing you are liable for is the R80 p/m for the device itself.

As for the seacom issue, Neotel will also have access to seacom so I don't see how this is an issue.

I assume that you can then still use the device for voice calls & SMS.

See my post above. If they strip down their device to be just a modem, they can decrease the price from R1920 (R80 x 24) to something more realistic.

But of course they won't do that, since they want you to make calls as well... :mad:

The only calls I've EVER made on my Telkom line are the ones to tech support. :rolleyes:
