    Default ADSL without landline not financially viable

    ADSL without landline cost doesn't make financial sense

    Telkom says that Naked ADSL makes no sense from a costing point of view considering how ADSL is currently priced.

    Their time of holding this countries broadband options back are about to end. I really hope this local loop unbundling happens. It's going to be a big fsck-up at first, but eventually it would be better in the long run.

    I vote for "yes, it is illegal" to bundle voice with DSL because if you're not using a voice line, why should you pay for it? Who's problem is it if it's not "financially viable"? Money grubbing state corporations FTL.

    Of course it's not financially viable. If they unbundled the two, how in the hell would they be able to pay their CEOs their salaries?

    Make Mine NAKED - from the point of view that I don't want ANY Phonecalls in/outbound @ all on this line!

    Since Installation, the Voice portion has never worked and I've attempted to get it sorted out for over 4 years now! I've just given up, So for voice I use cellphone anyway - out of no-choice, phone-line is used for ADSL only again not out of choice......GIVE ME A CHOICE PLEASE.

    These guys make so much money, we need to upgrade infrastructure, hoping someone will open their eyes and see the possibilities.

    It's not gonna happen, they are too closely entwined with Guavamint and it's too much of a cash cow for said Guavamint. There will be a whole lot of talk about how it will happen or must happen, blah blah blah but the likelihood of it actually taking place = zero

    Oh noes!

    Telkom's first encounter with the real world out there without big brother's monopoly rules. Everything looks so scary & un-viable.

    Majoor explained that [monthly] line rental covers the [once-off & sunk] cost of the copper from the clients’ premise to the Telkom exchange
    And that ladies & gents is why Telkoms entire argument is bullshit.

    In a country with milk and honey imagine, competition for Eskom and Telkom, then you will see a properly run service at the best price, but until then ( and I might be dead before that happens) we are scr3w3d.
