SAOL Fixed IP?

[Jonno2343]

Hey all
I saw this a while ago: http://www.saol.com/adsl3.php
How come we haven't heard of it very much in the forums?
Is there something wrong with it?
Thanks
JOnno

The one thing I see wrong with it is the 24 month contract.

 

[Jonno2343]

Yeah, but is it not worth it for 15 gigs of unshaped internet per month?
And anything you use after that is R60 per gig.
And yes, it's unshaped!
Do you think it's SAIX or IS based?

 

[mystic007]

It is probably IS based - hence the R1500 fee for the setup of the router which is on loan for the duration of the contract

Where does is say there is a 15GB cap?

Fixed IP ADSL access service will provide you with always available flat-rated internet access.

This would suggest no cap, but the webpage is not very clear on that. I suggest you e-mail them and ask.

I did email them and they said it comes with 15 gig unshaped internet.

IS isn't bad though is it?

Is IS bad for gaming and Skype?

This has been discussed when they launched the product.

Yeah, I have read that, thanks.
What kind of latency would IS have?
How good is IS for gaming / Skpe, etc.
