Neotel is still new and almost everyone is negative about it

Give them time, Rome wasnt built in a day

I know they have been a long time coming, but whats a few more months

lets try and be positive about them, they are atleast competition to TelSKum
 
If they put their prices at a more competitive rate and come to Durban, then we'll see.
 
what you are asking for is ridicules cheap pricing
right now they are more then competitive against telkom
 
if they can give a better service and the same "deal" at the same price as telkom its good enough :)
 
if they can give me what i have now for at least R99 less i'm in.
but it has to be adsl not wifi

Telkom does not do a wireless service, so it is hard to say they are competitive as they are offering a different service.

Years of getting skrewed-over makes people pessimistic & skeptical. Human nature.
 
Yeah, we've been waiting a long time for competetion to telkom, or even just an alternative to them, and what do we get?
More of the same cap nonsense. More of the same slow speeds. More of the same high prices. More of the same damn excuses.
They're better than telkom? By how much exactly? When you're only getting screwed half as badly as before, it doesn't change the fact that you're still getting screwed.

Granted, it's early days, and things will doubtless change and be adjusted as time goes by, but I for one am tired of having the world promised to me, only to see pretty much zero difference at the end of the day.

True, we should actually compare them to Vodacom(Eish)/MTN(mmmm)/CellC(VOMIT)/Virgin(SPIT)/Sentech(Cry)/iBurst(No comment)

Can someone do a comparison for us against the wireless packages?

Who promised the world to you ? NEOTEL ? I dont think so..
 
Actually they did...

There was talk of prices being a quarter of what they are... etc etc etc...

What Neotel are doing atm, whilst not nice, is understandable... they're undercutting telkom but still maximising their profits. They just better not be planning on doing so for v long.
 
I just phoned them, they launched yesterday..
However, there is 0 coverage in my area, but he says it might be there in 1 week - 1 month. But by industry standard, multiplying that amount by 100, should be 2 years - 8 years. Can't wait to have 2.4mb connection in 8 years.
 
I think everybody is missing the whole point. No matter how bad this offer seems, it's still better than having no other options. Even if this seems to have no effect on the other contenders, just keep watching. Something is bound to change. The others have no choice but to follow suit. It might take a while, but it WILL happen.
