Telkom announced yesterday<\/a> that they will launch their commercial WiMax<\/a> offering this week, and that the prices will fall in line with their current ADSL offerings. <\/font><\/p>\n

Telkom’s will use WiMax mainly as an ADSL replacement technology which will offer consumers a 512 Kbps broadband service using WiMax as a wireless access method.<\/font><\/p>\n

‘Stand alone access’ is priced at R 240-00 per month, while the all-inclusive price for a 1 GB service is R 319-00. The 2 GB offering costs R 389-00 while the 3 GB service retails for R 479-00.<\/font><\/p>\n

These prices are more or less in line with other broadband offerings in the market, but they lag behind on ‘speed versus price’ when compared to HSDPA, iBurst and MyWireless. <\/font><\/p>\n
