An announcement announcing the imminent announcement of the announcement announcing the announcement of the announcement announcing an announcement of the forthcoming announcement of the announcement announcing the the product. This latter announcement will be followed by an announcement announcing the prices announcement.
 
Just hope that what they bring is good, it might be worth our wait. I rather have something good and solid as something just brought to the market with all kinds of issues and problems. At least give them a change.
 
Hay did not want to divulge specific details about Neotel’s product offerings, but he did hint that users may not find their service as restrictive as current broadband packages which are characterized by very low monthly usage limits.

I sure do hope this means what I think it means.
 
What is with all the moaning? Neotel launched their enterprise offerings yesterday. I think it only fitting they should wait to launch their consumer products. After all, they are going to be flooded by people trying to switch to anyone other than Telkom and they had better be ready with a service that works. I'm sure its as frustrating to them as it is to us.

Besides which, the company has had so many setbacks in such a short period of time. Infraco anybody?

Opening Special: Uncapped R500-00 per gig pay-as-you-go dial-up 56kbps

I think that opening special was at 3.1Mbps. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that faster than what we have now?
 
May I ask what the latency is like on CDMA? Is it as low as ADSL? [for games]?

This sounds promising.
 
We have no option but to wait and at least an alternative is on the horison. I know it has been a long time coming, but I am sure we will be happy once it is here.

Anyone know what areas they're planning to launch in initially?

Lol.
I think the Eastern Cape may get connected in about 3 years time (to be honest I'm not sure if I'm exaggerating or not).

It'll be Joburg and Pretoria (or whatever it's called)
Then Cape Town
Then Durbs

But hopefully Telkom will drop their prices and improve their service in the meantime.

Lol that's what I'm thinking too. :D But Telkom have to set prices nationally so hopefully we'll at least get cheaper & faster ADSL. ;)

no they e-mailed me and said December:D in pe:sick:
sorry they did not say in what year. I think the year of the rat as i am smelling one
 
It's brilliant. An alternative to Telkom! I'm looking forward to it and things seem to be happening.

Neotel have done pretty well so far to be able to offer an alternative. Ivy is in charge, the LLU is nowhere and they will be landing Seacom in the not to distant future. The odds have been stacked against them.

So things are looking up.

Ps. I do understand the scepticism around here as we've been let down many times before. But the minute Telkom has a competitor, they lose me as a customer!
