Telkom versus Neotel

Telkom versus Neotel

Neotel reduced its rates after March 2011 interconnect rate cuts. Telkom is hanging on to their previous prices. This is how their current rates compare

Has the quality of Calls improved for Neotel. Last i checked it would drop randomly and was often unclear.

If only Neotel would realise that we are a country with one of the highest cellphone penetration rates in the world. We don't care about fixed line telephony, we want fixed line broadband. A business would get the supreme option from Telkom which offers free calls anyway.

Hello Wyzak why not kill two birds with one stone

Die Telscum die!!
Wake up Neofail, wake up!!

Haven't had any problems with Neotel's call quality on the Huawei portable handset device we have at the office. It works pretty well and signal strength is great.

Telkom is a fossilised dinoaur still lumbering about on the crater pockmarked landscape of South Africa.
Their prices are not only out of touch with the rest of the world, but even within South Africa are seriously outdated.

um, which stone would that be? Cos Neotel has done diddly squat for fixed line broadband penetration in South Africa.
In fact they have done nothing on the wireless side either.

Quite impressive... Telkom simply remains too stubborn.

I would expect a site like MyBB to know that telkom only adjust prices in August.

 

[MightyMuffinMan]

OMG off peak neotel is free.

I would expect a site like MyBB to know that telkom only adjust prices in August.

but the inter connect rates dropped 1st march
still 5-6 months away for that

Did I read this correctly, is it cheaper to call a local Telkom number (off peak) from Neotel?

Telkom Local 15c 18c

 

[george_vg]

Do both only charge per minute?

 

[IceQB]

Telkom trying to screw us till the very end. 8ta

Well, Neotel is cheaper on every single line item except:

Telkom National 29c 29c

(Where they are the same....)

 

[DeathStrike]

Great.. Still being ***** by Telkom.... nothing new

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

With Neotel openly stating that they have no expansion plans, and further stating that they are not going to be fulfilling their mandate to provide fixed line services, this is a rather pointless comparison.

 

[rocketracer]

why do these rates, which are targeted at consumers, exclude VAT? personally it would be so much better to see the cost incl. VAT.

At least Neotel is fighting on some front here. Competition is always a good thing.
