+- R 500 Uncapped adsl

avoid screamer, digi-chilli is my second favourite (however i am weary as they use the same provider as Screamer - so don't see how they will be better), but I went with SAOL as they are an established company, and i've heard good reviews regarding their speeds compared to digichilli! however, I'll be keeping my eye on them for a while longer till the dust settles and more specials comes out!
 
Hi guys,

I need someone to clarify one thing. It appears as if the SAOL and cybersmart uncapped deals are quite good (and from established companies with a sound track-record), but both of these requires me to move my line rental from Telkom to themselves. At this stage I am still shopping around to find the best ISP (only got my ADSL line about a month ago). I have a couple of questions.

1. Will the moving of the line rental to either of these companies limit me to using their services, or can I use an AXXESS or Afrihost account as well on these lines?

2. During the transfer period from Telkom to themselves, do I lose my adsl connectivity?

3. Can't these guys just offer the same service to people not leasing a line with them?

Regards
 
So... SAOL and Cybersmart are apparently the same company! Just that Cybersmart is R20 odd more expensive!

1. You can use any other ISP account while with SAOL.
2. Not sure, but it can take 21 days (yes I'm waiting) for Telkom to sort out the DSL subscription for SAOL!.
3. Good question! But considering the cost saving, for now, I'll go with SAOL!.
 
Hi Guys,

What I don't get is why some companies can provide ADSL rental, does that mean they have their own access to the exchange (what is the LLU issue then?) or SAOL is the middleman concerning the rental, you pay them, they pay telkom?
