I understand that it is possible to to get a broadband package consisting of 384 & 3Gb cap from any ISP, and the only service and payment I need to make to Telkom is for the initial ADSL connection fee and the monthly line charge of R110.
Can someone please tell me if this is correct or do I need to pay telkom for my line speed as well. MalmsburyTelkom officials are telling me that the only service I can get elsewhere is the cap, and to transfer from telkom dial-up to broadband I have to take line connection and speed from them alone.
Can someone please explain what I can get. :confused:
I just want as little to do with Telkom as possible, and will migrate elsewhere as soon as a viable alternative arrives

Ardale, u only need to pay the R110 for your normal phoneline rental. Mweb and other ISP's offer 384K line rental with a 1gig or 2gig or 3gig cap on special now, Range from R180 to around R350 +-

So yes, that telkom dude told u a fibb

Well until very recently you had to pay Telkom for the ADSL line seperately and what he said was true, but you can do it all through an ISP now, afaik Telkom will still handle the install though.
