Don't lock yourself in

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 29 March 2009

This is not the time to lock yourself into long-term contracts. All the signs are there that the cost of bandwidth is going to come down considerably when the SEACOM undersea cable goes live later this year.

 

An avalanche of ‘special offerings’…

You can expect to see an avalanche of ‘special offerings’ relating to ADSL (and other broadband alternatives) coming your way before Seacom goes live by the second half of the year. ISPs (Internet Service Providers) will try their best to lock you into contracts ranging from 12 to 36 months. They will do this in order to make more profit out of you when the cost of providing broadband Internet access comes down later this year. They will come to the table with offers that seem amazing, but don’t be fooled; most of these offers will only be remotely amazing when compared to the current telecoms regime earmarked by high broadband prices, et cetera.
