Neotel punts SEACOM advantages

As long as my stupid cap disappears, I'll be happy. That will be a step in the right direction.
 
All talk and no action. I wish these press conferences would rather happen once the consumer was able to have cheaper and faster broadband/higher caps etc.
 
“During a recent test session with bloggers and journalists, public forums such as Twitter came alive with comments referring to very high download speeds – a luxury South Africans are yet to become accustomed to.”

And thats where it will stay, at test sessions not in my house!:mad:
 
n00b question: Have the Neotel clients experienced any speed increases since the cable went live?
 
So why terminate in JHB and not Zini? If it makes the bandwith so much more expensive why do it??? can anyone please explain why they doing it this way?

Edit: The only reason I can think of is so that they have a very good excuse not to bring down bandwith prices.

So tired of all this Seacom news. Means nothing till we see decent bandwidth and pricing. Not even Neotel have dropped their pricing.
 
More news on this subject and I really hope it isn't just a lot of 'spin'!

Whilst I wish them well; the proof is in the eating of the cake and not in the talk of it. :cool:
 
I fail to see much advantage to terminating SEACOM in Midrand as opposed to Durban. Surely an ISP still needs to buy IP Connect, no matter which city they are in, to serve ADSL customers?
 
Well Seacom came and went, so lets stop reporting on it, because it means nothing to the consumer.

Agree?
 
It's great hearing about how affordable bandwidth is becoming, but the silence from the ISP's is deafening.
As an internet user I'm expecting more for my money, yet this month I'm once again laying out R189 for 3 measly Gb of semi shaped. I was fully expecting better value this month, so much for that.
 
Currently the cost of taking capacity from Cape Town to Johannesburg is the same as taking capacity from Cape Town to London

So, in short, the cost of international bandwidth is the same as local bandwidth?
So why aren't we paying "local only bandwidth" prices for international yet?
 
It's Telkoms' way of milking us, until the LLU actually takes place, we will continue to be milked.

I just bought a 50 kg tub of vaseline to prepare for the next 2 to 5 years of bending over, anyone want some?

Pass it along! :D
 
my 2 cents: it doesn't mean crap till we see discounts at the end of the tunnel!
The monopolies the these scum in SA rape the public is ridiculous! But today is still better than 2004 cuz I gave up internet for 6 months when I came back to SA from working in USA in the IT industry for 9 years! What a serious case of withdrawal that was!
