Neotel recently launched its NeoBroadband Fibre Business Internet Service<\/a>, a fibre based broadband service aimed at the business market.  <\/p>\n

“NeoBroadband Fibre is the fastest, flagship, true broadband product in South Africa, capable of 15 Mbps uplink and downlink,” said Neotel CTO Angus Hay.<\/p>\n

“As the first large-scale Fibre to the Building (FTTB) broadband service in the country, NeoBroadband is targeted at small to medium business users who want higher performance and reliability than conventional ADSL copper-based broadband,” said Hay.<\/p>\n

NeoBroadband Fibre provides users with unshaped and uncapped bandwidth, delivered entirely over fibre to the customer’s premises.  Neotel provides the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), enabling flexible, simple upgrades.<\/p>\n

“In keeping with Neotel’s philosophy of convergence, SIP-based multi-line voice services, suitable for small PBXs, are included in some packages, and a variant with single-line voice on the same CPE will be available shortly,” said Hay.<\/p>\n

While uncapped the service comes with a Fair Use Policy (FUP).  Hay pointed out that the exact details of the FUP will be published shortly, explaining that it will involve rate limiting rather than service termination for high usage.<\/p>\n

“The approach will be to apply a progressive rate limit at a very high download (we mean very high), but not to apply a hard cap at all,” said Hay.<\/p>\n

“NeoBroadband is a true broadband product, technically similar to leading-edge fibre broadband services around the world, offering cost-effective, best effort broadband Internet access with peak rates up to 15 Mbps,” said Hay.<\/p>\n

Hay added that NeoInternet, the company’s existing high-end business Internet service aimed at the corporate and enterprise market, offers shared or dedicated bandwidth up to 1 Gbps, backed by a Service Level Agreement.<\/p>\n
