I was interested to see how the Amobia and Frogfoot products compare to the rest of the SA consumer Internet market so we did some research and drew up a spreadsheet. I wanted to see how the Frogfoot Wifi “neighbourhood sharing” model would compare. The idea is that traffic gets aggregated to a shared Internet connection so all the users share the cost of the line which brings the overall cost down. I also wanted to see how Amobia’s Wireless Broadband compared to the ADSL, 3G/HSDPA and iBurp services.
Note: I compared “all inclusive” services, connection and traffic.

Hmm.. seems Wordpress does not like .ods uploads, I’ll just gzip it.
ps. We updated the Amobia website, it now has a Javascript calculator for business VPN services. The Amobia consumer services have been bumped up in speed.
[...] you get a bit of a deja vu feeling.. yes, you did see my comparison very much like this not too long [...]
Hi,
I visited Amobia in June 2007 @ their Newlands offices. They were still new, but were willing to help me. I was still tied up with a Iburst issue and could not have two ISP. I was in touch with them all the time and they gave me great advise although I was not a client. Last month I ended the Iburst account, and paid my R1000.00 deposit. The same day the team was ready to install my hardware.
In no time I was online. I personally feel this company will go far, excellent price and good coverage.
Hey Damian
Thanks for your comment. Always nice to get feedback like this.
