An indication of how much the "others" are gouging us for, maybe?

More than likely true... With prices like these coming around you would think there would be a drastic drop in the price of ADSL...

Also, it is probably an indicator, of how much superior/ more efficient fiber is as a meduim for data transfer, than the ageing copper Telkom is so tenaciously hanging onto for the last mile local loop.

Also with fiber, it is possible to bypass Telkom entirely ...

Iv seen probably 4 or 5 different companies with boards up in different areas offering Fibre to home... It still makes me wonder how the can make any money off prices like this though...

Probably because most of the money that we pay for ADSL goes to Telkom, not to the ISP.

Fiber also does not get stolen regularly, like copper does.

Is there someone at Telkom in the stolen Copper loop?

The pricing on this is actually pretty good, would pay it in a heartbeat, to bad it only caters for a selected few.
