Broadband prices compared

Recent changes in analogue line rental from Telkom means that ADSL subscribers will soon have to pay a little more for their ADSL service.

The following table provide a summary of the basic offerings from the major broadband providers. It should be noted that Neotel’s recently launched consumer offerings were not included in this comparison as they do not have basic data-only offerings.
