Honestly. Get a life. Yes, tillskim is expensive, yes, the cap is a small issue, but the reality is I, like most people I know would gladly live with these minor issues if skimtel could actually provide a real broadband service.

I have a so-called "4Mb" line, but the only place to actually get "4Mb" is from the useless telscum "speed" test. Real-world speed is closer to around 300Kb. Unless and until that is improved, our narrowband Internet access in SA will continue to hamper real growth.

All Neotel has to do is offer genuine speed and they will get my business - irrespective of price.

Price war -
The only war which can bring happiness & put smiles on (almost) everyone's face.

Glad to see market's competition mechanism functioning.

Hey 56kkiddie - shove it up your jacksie. Not all of us are bandwidth rapists who can't afford a real service. The reality is that we live in a country where economies of scale will continue to make "elitist" services like ADSL expensive. If skimtel had 4 million users, they could drop the price.

If we stopped squealing like stuck pigs about the price, we may be able to convince scumtel to improve the *quality* of their so-called "service", enabling those of us who use ADSL productively to get value for money - irrespective of the cost.

Most squeal when being ripped off 7000% or whatever the ridiculous percentage is (while making obscene profits!)
 
A business has to make a profit.

R1k or so for a 10Gb cap (through SAOL), 4Mb/s line (what we use) is, imho, acceptable - in the South African context.

IF, and this is a big IF, the service actually works at 4Mb/s - hell, I'll even be happy if it worked at 2Mb/s, it's not that bad (but fsck skommeltert - I'll be one of the first to jump ship to Neotel).
