ADSL Fixed Line
Providers
Neotel vs
Telkom
There are currently two ADSL
fixed line providers or infrastructure-based networks in South
Africa, Neotel and Telkom.
You need to choose
one of them if you prefer not to go with a Broadband
wireless connection. Otherwise be sure to check out our
Wireless Broadband
Providers list.
Remember:
When considering
subscribing
to an ADSL
Broadband service the traditional
way, you have to
look at both the ADSL line and the
ADSL Broadband
Provider
to get
you connected. One common error people make is that they think
they only have to pay for the ADSL
line - and then are
surprised that they have to fork out extra for the
service provider.
The alternative way or new way of
subscribing to ADSL Broadband is much easier. Be
sure to visit our One Price ADSL Broadband page for
more details.

Telkom
A Telkom
ADSL line is one of the most cost
effective ADSL options at the moment. This may
change later when Neotel roll out
ADSL services. When we write one of the most
cost effective ADSL options, we don't mean
Telkom ADSL is cheap. In fact, it is
horrendously priced when compared to countries
overseas but it's still cheaper than most of
the wireless offerings.
Which line to buy you might
ask? If you:
Once your
line has been installed, you can now register
with an ADSL
Internet Service Provider (ADSL
ISP).

choose your own Internet
