Google returns something that looks like a car's amplifier.

 

[porchrat]

and google returns this thread

God tell me it isn't this Linksys thing!

I don't have a big enough desk!

Nothing I own matches that horrible blue!

It looks like if I poked it long enough it would eat my finger...why Neotel!

That thing's too pretty, it can't possibly be designed for real work.

I want a device with dip switches and no web interface. That way, once its working, it keeps working. NO GLOSS PLASTIC. The body should be billet aluminum, with one LED and max 2 buttons - dedicated power switch and reset button. 220 v power supply (internal transformer). Commands should be sent using the AT command set over RS 232 and hyper-terminal. ONE 10/100 Ethernet port. External aerial connection only, using standard (cheap) cable, connectors and aerial. Now we can start talking about contracts...

2nd one seems about right @ Yotch

That's what I saw on demo @ the launch of the Samsung partnership...

IF it's true that they wont offer uncapped with the new devices, then they are idiots/morons/gluttonous pigs. Really, they were supposed to make things better. From te beginning I was on Neotels side, making excuses for them and telling people that Rome wasnt built in a day - but neither was it built on a follow the leader (Helkom) attitude. Bestc omparison would be Sony of late - huge potential that was f*cked up coz of greed. W@nkers!

Sure sounds like they are limiting us from using products like Skype or any other type of VoIP :'(

especially when you look at how they overestimate your usage

Where did you read that? Can you post a link?

I called them.

 

[porchrat]

I called them.

I suppose it makes no difference to me as I don't have coverage, and probably won't for a long time, I see the closest coverage to me is well over 10km away and when I type in my suburb they say it doesn't exist.

However I would like to know they have what I need in terms of devices so all I need to wait for is coverage...in 2015, although by then we'll be accessing the internet through chips in our brains, and my brain will still only have Lite coverage.

I also know they will have a lot more customers wanting to sign up once the device is available and I want to see what happens to the speeds of Neotel customers once that starts. I'm betting on sub-dial-up speeds.
