The recent MyADSL broadband survey, which attracted 1597 respondents, pitted the various broadband services, wholesale ADSL providers and Internet Service Providers against each other. <\/p>\n

Various parameters, including download and upload speeds, value for money, latency, reliability and support were measured.<\/p>\n

ADSL wholesale providers<\/strong><\/p>\n

To accurately compare the performance of the three main wholesale ADSL providers, namely SAIX, Internet Solutions and Verizon Business, the performance of these providers on a 4 Mbps connection was used.<\/p>\n

The two main service offerings from Telkom’s SAIX – standard shaped ADSL and unshaped ADSL – were also compared in this survey.<\/p>\n

The various uncapped ADSL offerings from Internet Solutions were however not included in the final results due to the speed restrictions and limited user feedback regarding these offerings.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following table gives a summary of the final ADSL wholesale provider results from the broadband survey. <\/p>\n
