I think you'll get more GB's out of the unlimited one.

For now, I'm not taking any of them.

I'll take one without free minutes and SMS's, when it comes out.
I will migrate to that one if it's uncapped with no free minutes/sms.

I wait until they offer broadband, none of the are, just fast internet.
No, but you can "pull out of" the contract, and just be left with the R80 per month hardware purchase cost.

They punting July for WiMax. Hopefully they are getting better at meeting their own deadlines

I'll consider a package with an ethernet enabled unit.

None. Would love the umlimited option, but there's no way in hell I'm paying 1000 a month for internet.

Exactly.
I would probably pay R1000 a month for fixed line, uncapped, unshaped, high speed Internet, but not for CDMA. I personally need Speed and a reasonable amount of bandwidth so if I had to choose I would go with NeoConnect Prime 15GB – 2.4Mbps. But I would want low latency and a guaranteed minimum line speed. I agree with those who are waiting for the WiMax or fibre services. If you just want to use torrents or other download services, where speed is less of an issue, then go with NeoConnect Lite Unlimited – 156 Kbps.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to introduce soft caps, as Telkom has bread a culture of leaching, rather than fair access, in this country so we tend to use what we can get rather than what we need.

None of them - what about high usage home users? I require speed AND use a lot of bandwidth - on average 30 to 40 GB a month. Their "unlimited" or uncapped offering is still too expensive if you compare to the rest of the world.
I will change when they offer something like 2.4Mbps connectivity with a 50 GB (local and international) or uncapped offering for around R500 a month. Bugger all the Neotel to Neotel free calls and SMS's. Not interested.
I hope somebody from Neotel actually reads these forums - it's a real good place for them to do their marketing research and to find out what SA actually wants.

Same here. It's not rocket science really.
