But good news overall. Good Luck Vodacom...
 
SEACOM has already indicated that its cost for a single STM-1 link on its cable will convert to R 673 per Mbps/month – or R 1 251 780 per annum

Telkom is 10x more expensive than SEACOM :eek:
 
More than 10x eltherza.

Thats the scary thing, and Seacoms prices are still leaving a profit margin for them built in...

Huh, how does that work out? Per annum works out at R104315 per month... :confused:
 
I hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but Vodacom is 50% Telkom owned. Why would Telkom effectively compete with itself?? Does not compute! :confused:
 
Didn't Vodacom wanna sell their shares at one point?!?
Also, I'm looking forward to seeing their pricing over Telkom's.
I'm just waiting for my Telkom contact (24 month) to expire and I'm leaving Telkom and either joining Neotel or Vodacom ;)

Whoever is cheaper.
 
Telkom own 50% of VC, but they don't have the ability to prevent the company doing what it wants to do....

If VC can come up with a decent value proposition, I will get ADSL from them simply because it will mean a single point of billing, and hopefully I'll be able to use data on a variety of different mediums.

it's an open secret that Telkom hinders Vodacom's (and other cell providers progress). There are 50% other shareholders who want to make money out of Vodacom who have no inherent conflict of interest like Telkom has.
 
The interesting thing is that based on Seacom pricing of 673/Mbps/month my company could probably afford buying 155mbps international, share it four ways and still pay less than I pay Telkom for a 2Meg now...

That's not too bad, 35.5MBps of dedicated international bandwidth that would peer back to RSA at less than the cost of a local Telkom line! Oh how ripped off we truly are...

EDIT - Remeber the Seacom pricing was landed!
