The ‘real’ wireless broadband subscriber base

Fixed line is supposed to be much cheaper and more easily accessible. Why is Telkom's uptake so lacklustre?

Exorbitant beastly pricing and a failure on the part of the beast to supply ADSL to new applicants...

They charge sooooo much for soooo little, well then no surprize here then.
 
According to Smith’s figures MTN has 86 000 subscribers, iBurst 25 000 and Sentech 4500. While these figures are debatable it is most likely not too far off.

Ouch I didn't realise Sentech was so far behind.
That must be equivalent to how many WISP users are out there.
Well maybe their January price cuts and service improvements may help.
Otherwise we've got one big, white elephant on our hands.


The Cellphone subscribers are definitely overstated though. The statistics should be based on the number of users buying data bundles.

Well if Vodacom base it on data cards its probably pretty accurate.
 
Anybody have any ideas as to how many customers Sentech had before they chased them all away?

I seriously doubt that Sentech has ever had more than 6000 [very generous #] MyWireless Classic customers - even when MyWi was on heat back in 2003, and it has been a fairly frigid service since then...
