NeoFlex available next week
Many consumers have eagerly been awaiting Neotel’s latest broadband offering: NeoFlex. This is the first data-only service from Neotel aimed at the residential market and has theoretical downlink speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps and uplink speeds in excess of 1 Mbps.
In early testing the service performed well providing real-world speeds rivaling Telkom’s ADSL service and Vodacom and MTN’s HSDPA offering.
Neotel said that it plans to commercially launch the NeoFlex service next week, making it available to customers falling within the Neotel coverage area.
The company said that there was no real delay as such in launching the product, but that the holiday season necessitated a January release date.
“The product testing and software uploads will be completed this week in readiness for the announcement next week,” said Neotel spokesperson Mala Suriah.
Neotel did not want to divulge any pricing, simply saying that it will be included in the press release accompanying the launch next week.
