\u201cThe response to our ADSL offering has been extremely positive, reaching numbers of unexpected proportions to date,\u201d said Elia Tsouros, business development executive at Verizon Business SA.<\/a> <\/font><\/p>\n

This service is not directly aimed at residential customers, but rather at corporate clients. Tsouros is however confident that there is a need for their product in the current marketplace. <\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cI must however state that this product is focused at the corporate market as per the Verizon Business strategy and business model. With this positive uptake, I can confidently state that there is a definite need for this type of service and as such I am confident that we will continue to see rapid growth,\u201d he said.<\/font> <\/p>\n

Verizon Business is confident that their product is currently one of the best in the marketplace, and that it will stand its ground against SAIX <\/a>and Internet Solution\u2019s<\/a> premier ADSL products.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\u201cThe ADSL offering is totally unshaped with no limits on any protocol, allowing users to take full advantage of a high-performance always-on connection. Although this is not a consumer-focused solution, in areas of overlap we have found that it does and will continue to compete favourably,\u201d said Tsouros<\/font> <\/p>\n

Availability and price<\/strong> <\/font><\/p>\n

Verizon Business\u2019 ADSL solution is currently available through qualified Verizon Business resellers. ISP\u2019s like Vanilla<\/a> currently sell this unshaped ADSL offering at R290 per month for a 3 GB account.<\/font> <\/p>\n

While this is more expensive that SAIX and IS\u2019s shaped residential offering, it is competitively priced when compared to unshaped options. Currently SAIX unshaped ADSL accounts cost R 300-00 plus for a 3 GB account.<\/font> <\/p>\n

Alan Levin, MD of Vanilla an ISP reselling Verizon Business ADSL, says that end users are very happy with the service. \u201cWe have a guarantee of satisfaction with every new account. Anyone can try using it for up to 100MB and canceling at no cost. Not a single user has cancelled,\u201d said Levin.<\/font> <\/p>\n

According to Levin this service is particularly suitable for gamers. \u201cThe users that rely on low latency are especially satisfied. World of Warcraft users get the green lights for the first time and individuals that work on servers overseas (telecommuters) are amazed at how their productivity is enhanced.\u201d<\/font> <\/p>\n
