Best gadgets, broadband for SA’s millionaires

South Africa’s super rich have no reason to be content with a 10Mbps ADSL connection and a 47-inch LED TV. They can get access to the best gadgets and technology, as long as they are willing to fork out enough money.

We assembled some of the best gadgets available in South Africa, and a great broadband connection to serve anyone’s Internet needs.

Neotel 100Mbps NeoBroadband fibre

To really enjoy what the Internet has to offer, a really fast broadband connection is a must. Telkom is offering 20Mbps and 40Mbps residential VDSL products in selected areas at a reasonable price, and is trialling 100Mbps fibre to the home. But why wait when you have the cash?

Neotel is offering 100Mbps uncapped NeoBroadband fibre to businesses at a price of R37,575 per month.

Here you do not have to worry too much about a fair use limit either – you can consume up to 15TB per month after which the speed will be throttled to 50Mbps.

To make the most of the movies and TV series which you download in the highest resolution possible, you need a big high-resolution TV.

Samsung’s 85-inch ultra-high definition (UHD) Smart LED TV will do the trick.

Samsung first unveiled the UN85S9 at CES in January 2013, marketing it as the world’s largest UHD television. The TV launched in South African in June 2013

B&W 804 Diamonds 5.1 Package with Rotel pre-amp

To do justice to a home entertainment room with an 85-inch ultra-high definition (UHD) television, a good sound system is needed.

The Bowers & Wilkins 804 Diamonds 5.1 package with Rotel home theatre sound system should do the trick.

It features a Rotel RSP-1572 7.1 surround sound processor/pre-amp, Rotel’s 5 x 250 watt power amplifier, and a setup with B&W 804, B&W 805, B&W HTM4, and B&W DB1 speakers.
