Neotel vs. iBurst

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 23 June 2008

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Neotel’s NeoConnect products are competing directly with iBurst’s, but maybe more importantly, that iBurst will have to lower their prices considerably or face the consequences of a consumer exodus to Neotel in the coming months.

Despite the fact that iBurst’s coverage area is much bigger than Neotel’s at this stage, Neotel will win the race should iBurst fail to lower their prices to more acceptable levels. Neotel does not only offer cheaper broadband than iBurst but also faster broadband when one consider Neotel’s uplink speeds of up to 2.4Mbps compared to iBurst’s 1Mbps. Cheaper broadband because Neotel is definitely more consumer and value orientated. iBurst’s prices on average come in at a ridiculous 50% higher than Neotel’s. On top of that, Neotel offers, unlike iBurst, 24-month contracts that can be cancelled at any time.
