Johannesburg company Goal Technology Solutions (GTS) plans to pump billions of rand into an alternative national telecommunications network and is promising SA consumers their first taste of cheap telephony and broadband.

Plc

When wil "soon" be. I've heard about PLC beginning of last year already. Then I found the GOAL site and on their website they mentioned prices and that it will start to be available in the next couple of weeks.... Now 6 months down the line, another article stating that PLC will be come available soon! Soon = months or soon= next year? any idea??

It sounds almost too good to be true.

Yep... seeing certainly is believing with this sort of thing now days. Sounds good though.

Promises, promises...

This is probably a Telkom-sponsored initiative to depress us even more. I'm sick and tired of hearing about this company and their empty promises. Please stop giving them publicity until they actually have a product on the market...

And how do they plan to offer cheap 20GB accounts? Do they use magic to transmit data overseas? Or is that just local access?

I think it is international as it was compared to telkom's 3 Gig

[moklet]

I'm also getting pretty tired of staring at their "coming soon" green bubble on the website. Its been there for over a year

... and a 6 months from now there will still be nothing!.

 

[DjStyles]

can you say...."imminent?"

 

[ziglet]

Question, does GTS actually offer any services at all? Or do they just have a REALLY big marketing/publicity department?

Nice advertorial. I would be even nicer if wasnt vapourware.

This is GOAL technology, it isn't true.
