A number of Internet service providers (ISPs) cut the prices of their uncapped ADSL<\/a> offerings recently, attributing them to the 30% reduction in Telkom’s<\/a> IPConnect pricing announced by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa <\/a>towards the end of March 2012.<\/p>\n

However, line rental prices represent a significant proportion of the cost of an ADSL connection and they were unaffected by the price cuts.<\/p>\n

Although the actual line must be rented from Telkom, some ISPs offer to handle the administration on behalf of their customers, often undercutting Telkom’s prices.<\/p>\n

Not all ISPs that offer line rental services have “all-in-one” packages and these are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the table below.<\/p>\n

The table shows uncapped ADSL packages from the listed ISPs aimed at home users that include line rental for the DSL service. Analogue (voice) line rental<\/a> is excluded as its value may change under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n
