Neotel on a roll

Hardly surprising considering Telkom's dismal infrastructure and hopeless techies.
Telkom "fixed" my DSL line yesterday, and in the process made it worse than it was before. They then promptly "cleared the fault" and ****ed off, leaving me with a non-working line and a closed fault.

Neotel simply cannot possibly do worse.
 
o wow they been expanding since who knows when, and still i have no coverage.
 
Is MyBB in Neotel's pocket? That was some piece of marketing schlock, until Neotel offer a fixed line option they nothing more than a glorified iBurst/myWireless.
 
Anyone know what the (rather) large red and white tower is that went up about a week ago in Table View area at the Fruit and Veg? There is an existing Cell Tower about 100m away from the new tower.. Neotel?
 
Neotel it is called planning...

And you royally failed in doing it... although I can understand that environmental impact studies are not something you would of had to worry about in India...
welcome to real world..
 
Not according to their coverage map.. their only tower is covering waist land (farmland, sewage and refinery plant and township), spilling marginally over to fringes of table view

Yeah, I wonder how many customers they got in Killarney? One Tower perked nicely on the water tower would have done much more good.
 
New cities to be covered

no **** Shurelock Homes, would be nice if whole of pta for example is covered, like faerie glen. like sentech there are those magical dry spots where some of us live like me for example. well suppose something is better than nother, but seriously would be nice to see an actual rollout plan and not the usual immement rollout news.

no **** Shurelock Homes :D, would be nice for example if whole of pta is covered, like faerie glen. like sentech there are those magical dry spots where some of us live like me for example. well i suppose something is better than nother, but seriously would be nice to see an actual rollout plan with estimated dates and areas to be covered and not the usual immement rollout news. But i guess that red tape (as noted in the article) will always be in your way of progression.

...just one question i thought they had too much traffic currently for their network as it is ?

they are on a roll, down hill, cause i kicked them :D:D:D:D

Still no coverage, again, this story has been around for ............ omg, can't even remember how long.

High sites and all, if they had a plan, then they could have applied for the environmental assesment and gotten all of those back by May last year already.

Fact still is, they don't have a roll out plan, and they don't have a timetable, I suppose its for the best since they are so very very very "GOOD" at keeping to their schedule.

is it possible to have a ban on all these "coming up" and "showing shortly" stories, because if that was some kind of indication of progress, we'd all be having uncapped 50Mb lines. is it possible to focus on whats being done vs mouth duty? Neotel is becoming the new GTS...

Vodacom also didn't have to worry about environmental impact studies for a large part of their network. It was only when Cell-C started rolling out their network, that it was mandatory to get the site approved environmentally. That also caused a lot of problems for Cell-C at the time, and a lot of redesign of the network when you preferred site, is not approved.
 
if they can offer an uncapped....yes...i mean a REAL uncapped line (no cap, no threshold, no soft cap, no national or international cap, no restrictions, purely UNCAPPED), for roughly R400-R500 a month on even a 256K line, then yes......you have a winner......i will sign up right away, but until then i will wait to see who offers a package like that first. Hell there are SME's offering 128K line REAL uncapped services, for R400, so the question you ask yourself is.....If even the SME's can offer services like that, then why cant a multi BILLION rand company do the same?

so like i said, unless they going to be offering a line with AT LEAST those minimum requirements, then i see no reason to join.

That "multi BILLION rand" is in fixed assets and loans. It will take Neotel probably around 4/5 years to show a profit.
