One Price ADSL Costs?

[Munch]

Cybersmart offers a combined DSL 384 service, consisting of a 384Kbs/128Kbs DSL Circuit plus 3 GB Cap, at R 339-00 per month.

Does the above include the Telkom line rental of R99.92? If do is certainly is not a one price ADSL offering and although a step in the right direction. It is still misleading then as the actual cost will be R438.92 for people who use the line mostly for ADSL.

The total cost if going through telkom as line provider and Cybersmart as ISP for the same service would be R125 + R344.92 = R469.92

That means going the one price route means a saving of R31.
Lets hope we can add the R99.92 to that saving but I doubt it.

It does not include the line rental. It's the same in the UK though.

Agree with 56kMan - R339 is the amount you'll be paying Cybersmart. It'll excl the Telkom costs

Yes, it excludes the Telkom line rental.

One price my ass!


What are they going to say with their Wimax product? They will have to work the line rental into that somehow.
