Calls for 'naked ADSL' on the increase

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 17 April 2010

More and more players in the SA telecoms arena are calling on Telkom to allow ADSL Broadband users to purchase ‘naked ADSL’ or ADSL without the forced ADSL analogue line rental. This is an absolute necessity if one considers that the fees payable to Telkom in terms of the ADSL analogue line rental and access charges are costing more than an Uncapped ADSL Broadband account at this stage. 

Telkom needs to come to the party... 

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) really hopes that Telkom will join the ADSL Broadband price cut party despite the various reasons or excuses they can table for not able or willing to do so.  

Yes, business is tougher for the incumbent, but they really do need to come to the party. Many ADSL Broadband Providers have come to the party with generous ADSL Broadband price cuts in recent months. ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is of the opinion that Telkom is in a position to offer more than any other service provider out there. We don’t want to see a situation where ADSL Broadband is givng away for free, because that certainly won't work. However, we also certainly don’t want to see a continuation of the current situation where the cost of an Uncapped ADSL Broadband account is lower than the fees payable to Telkom in terms of the ADSL line rental and ADSL Broadband access.
