Neotel Broadband - xDSL and Fibre on the cards

Wake me up when they are offering something tangible.
 
They better get their fingers out.... I'm tired of waiting
 
** YAWN **

First they say in the start of the article they're already piloting...then later that they'll start in the 3rd week of July. :confused:

All I read about True Broadband...before the end of this year (2011??), xDSL, Fibre was.......blah blah blah.....

I wish companies would stop shooting their mouths off before even having an offering and PRICE LIST out on the table!!!!!!

I can guarantee you Neotel wont have a decent offering on the table on or before December!!!
 
Just need to sit and wait for talk to materialise. Yeah, fibre would be awesome, but so would HDSL and SDSL for file sharing:)
 
Fibre with a 3GB cap...
I can see that happening in SA

I've learnt to take articles like this with a few heaps of salt. But hearing the word "fibre" is promising.

lol, well I give 'em more credit than Telkom. I've only been on the phone with them twice and both times I had a competent, fairly intelligent person on the other end and friendly too which is more than I can say about Telkom.

But yeah words mean squat..
 
Between 250kpbs and 750kbps is pretty sad IMO, unless they make it uncapped and dirt cheap.
 
Can you 512K users stream a decent quality YouTube vid without buffering? (Just BTW)

Agreed Syndyre, sub-1Mb speeds are pretty lame.
 
It would be really good to have a price list with some firm offerings, availability and installation times! So far it is a serious competition between Neotel and Goal? to see who can spume the most hot air!

If I owned a company with a telephone license, I would seriously be worried that after more than a year of having the license, absolutely nothing has happened. Maybe Icasa should cancel the license and issue it to a few newcomers in different geographic regions. I fear that Neotel are even worse than Telkom.

Can any ISP confirm whether they are actually getting bandwidth from Neotel?

I honestly believe that some of the ICASA stuff have interests in Telkom. They won't push Neotel to be operational coz they'll loose money. they r just playing with our heads. Just like politicians

“In addition to the requests received thus far, Neotel plans to also invite a few pilot customers from amongst the MyBroadband members, in order to further improve the quality of feedback regarding the products and services,” Neotel pointed out.

While this sounds promising, I would like to ask NeOTel to start communicating with all of us - even those of us that don't get selected to participate, would appreciate an email stating as much.
At a recent Computer Society of SA conference on telecoms developments in South Africa, Neotel pointed out that they have the enviable advantage over Telkom of not having to develop a network based on existing legacy technologies.

The reality is that Telkodemonopolies will only start envying NeOTel's NGN network, when NeOTel actually opens its doors for business, and Telkodemonopolies actually loses large numbers of previously-disadvantaged-customers [i.e. all of us hostages].

More haste, more communication, more action, and exactly when will NeOTel offer us an xDSL service...
