WiMax pricing comparison, South Africa

WiMax pricing comparison, South Africa

We compare Telkom and iBurst’s WiMax pricing

iBurst and Vodacom Business are set to commercially launch their WiMax services in the coming weeks. Both these companies will be targeting small and medium size business with their WiMax offerings, punting them as ADSL and Diginet replacement services. This raises the question as to how iBurst’s WiMax pricing compares with the pricing from Telkom for a similar service. The table below provides a basic pricing comparison between iBurst WiMax and Telkom WiMax, in South Africa. It should be noted that Telkom only has a 512Kbps WiMax offering which is why no 1Mbps comparison was done. Also, standard ISP rates were applied for bandwidth charges for Telkom’s WiMax service.
