I have one testimony from someone claims 512kbps for 300USD on a private account on infocom.
That must be shared, as 1MB on SEACOM goes for 629 in SA: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/Telecoms/9030.html (halfway down) (I can not find pricing on the SEACOM website: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Alg%3Aunofficial&q=site%3Aseacom.mu+USD&aq=f&oq=&aqi= ) We also have a testimony from someone on the i-network list saying he was offered 700USD for 1MB/s, if he paid for his own fiber. This was by KDN directly. What I am wondering, is if the other Telco's have been negotiating a better deal with the satelite owners, and will also offer (slightly) better prices. Did anyone get a nice quote from his ISP? Or are they just reaping the profits? (Or worse, are they not doing anything) We should benefit, basically, SEACOM is cheaper, about 4 times. So common ISPs, where is that benefit? rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Thursday 06 August 2009 13:05:09 herb wadulo wrote: > Mmmm when we see the end user pricing....... > > Herb > > On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 1:43 PM, Peter Lubambula <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hmm...
