Neotel has released their NeoFlex pricing with 10GB and 15GB packages, along with prices far lower than Telkom's ADSL offerings with similar usage.
Below are a few simple cost comparisons between the Neotel packages and Telkom ADSL packages. The Neotel packages include the cost of the device necessary to utilise the service, and has a theoretical max speed of up to +-3.2Mbps although in practice this will not be realised, likewise with ADSL which shaves speed off the top as Telkom still uses ATM which reserves a percentage of your connection's top speed for TCP overheads, but that's a story for another page.
Below is a quick & dirty summary of the difference in price between Neotel's NeoFlex and Telkom's ADSL. We will be adding comparisons with other providers soon.
