These price cuts will apply to both standalone and bundled ADSL products.<\/p>\n<p>Telkom\u2019s new uncapped ADSL prices surprised many consumers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as they undercut most existing offers in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Telkom\u2019s bundled uncapped offerings (which include an ADSL line and an uncapped account) are particularly aggressively priced.<\/p>\n<p>Telkom\u2019s new uncapped ADSL prices already have many ADSL users looking at moving their accounts to Telkom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is actually brilliant! Yes, we all want naked ADSL but this can only be good for all of us as we will save. ISP&#8217;s have to respond to this somehow,\u201d said one commentator. \u201cSheesh those [prices] aren&#8217;t bad. Might move,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n<p>This raises the question of how Telkom\u2019s new uncapped ADSL prices compare with other ISPs.\u00a0 The following table answers this question.<\/p>\n<div
