The gradual deregulation of South Africa’s telecommunications industry is good news for consumers who are being offered a greater choice as to where they can buy their Internet connectivity. <\/p>\n
The latest option is an all inclusive ADSL offering from Nashua Mobile which has signed a wholesale agreement with Telkom through which it can offer its customers bundled ADSL.<\/p>\n
This means that Nashua Mobile will now be able to provide customers with both the Telkom ADSL line rental and the monthly ADSL data subscription – all on one monthly bill.<\/p>\n
“It also means that if a customer has a normal telephone line, they can apply for the ADSL line directly to Nashua Mobile and not Telkom,” says Mark Taylor, managing director at Nashua Mobile.<\/p>\n
He says the company’s new Internet offerings are highly competitive. Prices range from a 1GB ADSL cap at 384kbps at R195 to a high-end 3GB cap at 1024kbps at R549.<\/p>\n
“This offers consumers a lot of flexibility and they can configure their package in a way that best suits them,” says Taylor.<\/p>\n
Nashua Mobile’s data is “unshaped” which means that all data is delivered at the best possible speed – whether it’s e-mail, games, music or just simply web browsing.<\/p>\n
There is also a split billing option which is a unique corporate offering.<\/p>\n
Says Taylor: “Basically this will work the same as split billing for voice calls where the company pays a certain amount and the employee the rest.”<\/p>\n
According to Nashua Mobile they were the first company to offer split billing for voice and this has now been expanded to its ADSL offering.<\/p>\n
