These services will initially be deployed as a pilot for a limited number of customers to test the stability of processes and systems before launching the services commercially. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">\u201cThis pilot service will be available in July this year, following the live internal testing of the network, scheduled for later this month (June). The pilot service will offer converged high-speed Internet access and voice services over a single device, although some pilot customers will also be requested to test low-speed Internet and voice-only services,\u201d Neotel said.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">These pilot services will be delivered over Neotel&#8217;s CDMA2000 1x EV-DO network, allowing for peak speeds of 2.4 Mbps (with average customer experience ranging from 200 to 500 kbps for the high-speed Internet offering). <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">\u201cThese speeds are considered more than adequate for standard Internet usage, including general browsing, e-mail access as well as content &amp; application downloads.
