Telkom to reduce bandwidth costs

"This year the price will be R88 000. Now that is a significant change in price over a period of four years," Mr Hayward said.

Yes, a significant reduction in price, but Telkodemonopolies will still profit in the short term - even though Telkodemonopolies is killing itself for the long term.
Group Executive for Strategy, Steven Hayward, on Thursday said: "We do not expect to make any profit from the BPO sector. We are prepared to do this for the department's incentive programme and the BPO industry."

Yes, it is ZAR88000.00 per month, for a 2Mbits/s link.

Two megabits of bandwidth, for example, was costing R250 000 per month, which Mr Hayward described as "absolutely exorbitant".

"In 2005, the same product would cost you R200 000 per month, which is high but still lower than the previous year. In 2006, the price was significantly dropped to R135 for the same amount of bandwidth and in 2007, we further dropped the price to R105 000.

"This year the price will be R88 000. Now that is a significant change in price over a period of four years," Mr Hayward said.


So lets look at this.... what did Telkom do with their suppliers or service that made anything cheaper, so that they could pass it on to the end user.... NOTHING... their prices were high, they have been caught out and now they are trying to get things to look good

Hayward... you and the rest of the pratts at Telkom Rip off Centre, what you have done is to take food out of peoples mouth, you have gone beyond the limit of just making a profit, and there has been no greater good, you have not done South Africa or Africa any service, you are a disgrace
