Broadband pricing comparison

I still stand by iBurst.
On the lower end of the bandwidth scale they are the cheapest. But also, I love that I'm able to pay month-to-month, with Neotel for example, you are FORCED to take out a contract, I'm in no position to take out a contract.

But above all, iBursts soft cap takes the cake, yes I may only be able to surf at 64 kbps after using all bandwidth, but I CAN SURF nontheless, and for the whole month too.

Af far as I'm concerned, at face value, none of the other competitors (if you can even call them that) come even remotely close to what iBurst has to offer.

iBurst FTW!

So telkom... :cool:

Because it's DSL which is usually cheaper than wireless anyway.

But having said that, the 3G offering of .30c out of bundle is making the other 3G [and iburst] look like fools, AND it's faster too.
 
lol just knew the new cable ain't going to change anything
 
@Tns, our next great hope is INFRACO's "competitive" introduction of it's nationwide backbone.
But, my faith in government is below abyssal at the moment. I am considering writing Schabir Shaik a business proposal in an effort to actually get something done.
 
you cant say that paying 30c out of bundle per MB is BB either.
PS ENOUGH ALREADY?
 
Broadband Broadband, it's like the air we breath but we stil are paying to much or atleast getting to little for what we pay. Ja funny how telkom beats the competion most of the time. I looked at some packages and the Telkom Do broadband 5 Gig with 30 gig localc works out the cheapest at R685 and that is line adsl and cap.

MMMMMm interesting times ahead
 
It's funny how we're forced to compare ADSL prices to product offerings from the wireless technology providers. Whoever says true competition is alive in SA is a liar. The blame falls squarely on government though… They purposefully keep prices high so the masses can’t afford access. The internet is an amazing knowledge base which any government should be scared to let their electorate have access to.
 
It's really scary looking at a table like this, we pay a flipping fortune for bandwidth in this country. I've been really optimistic for cheaper options, but nothing, nothing, nothing. I know this is wireless comparisons, but all round the new cable has not made any impact to joe public. It's depressing, really.
 
The Telkom line rental R133 is included in the Do1 broadband package, so that the total cost for a Telkom 1GB account with line rental is R199, not R330 as stated in the article. I should know, I have had Do1 for the almost a year. Either that or Telkom has undercharged me for several months, if so, sshhh.

The same with Do2 and Do3, line rental costs should be deducted from the costs mentioned in the article.

I don't know why they always get this wrong.

BTW I'm not a fan of Telkom, just pointing out some mistakes.
 
Why should they be deducted? If the other players do not charge a line rental, then the line rental inclusion is justified.
 
Does that Telkom price include the line rental fee?

If not then it is not a fair comparison as you can't get the service at that price.
 
Jeez the propaganda is rife this morning... :D

A few articles on the wholesale cost of speed. The next week an article on the retail cost of speed...

How many readers noticed that there is not one one uncapped account. Okay iBurst is there with their softcap.

At Vodacom's price for 5GB... A person is only a R200 away from uncapped ( and unshaped). Given that is at 384Kb/s (you can get an old harddrive full of data in a month with that). Another R4XX and you can be one of Axxess's top 10 downloaders for the month...

I am having that mushroom feeling...


EDIT... Unfortunately 384kb/s isn't braodband...
 
@rpm I really think using the telkom 4mb DSL service is a much better comparison to the rest because they are all 1mb and up.
