this is the only slightly sane idea in this entire thread... but naturally we wont see it happen.
considering "after" office hours as till 19:00 is only taking into account a small percentage of the population. a gross understatement in my books. and a stupid mistake to make. you throw someone a bone and give them a package for slightly less than your competitor and hope for the best. and still they milk it by throttling the account during certain hours. ;/ only ISP's in SA can think of a stupid idea like this. they also make a major contribution as to why south africa will forever be seen as a third world country. they give you a slice of bread but charge you for the entire loaf. even the education minister from england said our ADSL prices are ten times of what their's are at in england (and was shocked by the prices aswell - said it was killing education in south africa... way to go telkom!) ... and no excuse about "infrastructure" is gonna cut it anymore. ISP companies in south africa just like milking the population for all it's worth. they dont care about getting everyone online for as cheap as possible. they just want to make millions.
and a small business lesson. if that is your reason for going into business ? simply to make money and not doing it cause you have a passion for it ? you will never succeed. and eventually you'll fall flat on your face and no one will even look your way to help you up.
personally i cant wait till google gets their cable in SA i dont care how childishly immature telkom and their buddies get over the prices going too low for their tastes and they think it's bad for business? for all i care google can take over the ISP providing in SA. i dont care if telkom goes to hell in the process. they will most prolly deserve it, at least with google we'll get rid of these retarded ideas like cap and throttle etc. sounds like a engine, only problem is in a engine thottles increase performance.. not kill it.
