It is a sad question to have to ask in the first place but, we only have ourselves to blame and I will explain why.
We all wanted a SNO and we got one, when Neotel offered their ridiculous packages, people that were currently on ADSL, should have NEVER moved over, like that, Neotel would realize that their offers were not acceptable and they would have to reduce prices and come up with better offers, equipment etc.
But no, people thought they were being clever in making the move just to try and screw Telkom but, in the mean time, they not only screwed themselves but in the process screwed the market as well.
On the other hand, people that had no ADSL signal, which as far as I am concern, were a minority, would obviously go with Neotel but, those people were not going to be enough for Neotel not to re-think what they were offering and Neotel would have to drop prices, which in turn would force Telkom to also drop.
I want to dump Telkom myself but, Neotel will have to come to the party.
The SNO is just another Telkom and we did not need another Telkom.
We are in the era of R399 for 100gigs 8mbit connection, let alone anything else, just to be on par with REAL COUNTRIES.
Right now only one of the 3 (Telkom, Neotel and the end user) is smiling and that is Telkom, because they still reign in broadband and they will do so for a long time to come.
The best way to force price drop is to boycott a product.
