ADSL wholesale reduction providing more value for consumers

[Johannesburg, 16 April 2012] - “Telkom's announcement that it will drop its wholesale ADSL rate to Internet service providers (ISPs) by as much as 30% is a step in the right direction,” says Dederick Venter of @lantic, the consumer and small business service provider within the Vox Telecom group.

“But we still have a long way to go before South Africans get truly affordable Internet. The wholesale price is just one element of the total cost of ASDL: There's also the Telkom line rental cost (the famous 'last mile') as well as local and international bandwidth costs.

“At @lantic, we have been expecting the rate reduction for a while and dropped the price of our consumer ADSL packages even before it was announced,” says Venter. “Our revised packages include a range of Anytime data products, such as the ADSL Anytime 10GB for R149 per month with access to the Web anytime of the day, or our more customised service, the ADSL 626, a 10GB prepaid data package for use between 6pm and 6am. These packages are available to anyone, not just @lantic customers.”
