To self install or not to self install?

Anyone gone this route?

Also, which line do you rate the best value for money? 192, 384 or 512.

This is for a home office. email, web access, occasional large download, Skype.

Thanks.

I would say start with 192 and see if that is fast enough for you.

None of the lines are good value for money.

The best used to be 384, as u often got close to 512 speeds on it, but telkom have long since 'corrected' that

How large are these occasional large downloads?

dude let telkom do the install

do you want to wait on the phone for 5 hours to the tech who is verifying its working ?

where as if it was a telkom tech phoning him he would answer

up to you though

I did the self install which was painful up to the point that we discovered that the supplied filter (non-Telkom) was causing the problem. Went and got the Telkom filter, made sure the modem/router was plugged in as instructed and that was the end of the nonsense. Worked like a charm since.

The thing which irritated me the most is that I was told the installation was done, but phoning technical support resulted in being told that it wasn't done according to the system.

Considering how much time I spent on the phone trying to have it resolved, it may have been cheaper getting them out there in the first place. I just have an aversion to anyone coming into the house though.

Good luck!
