Telkom shows strong ADSL growth

So Telkom is doing much more than what we give them credit for... They have good ADSL coverage, so more can gain access to the internet. We should now apply more pressure on them to reduce the cost of bandwidth.
 
Hopefully this strength they now have will be overturned to a loss in early 2008 with peeps converging to Neotel. :D

Ahh but lets wait and see - again...:rolleyes:
 
ADSL subscribers grew by 76.2% to 335,112

Is that subscribers or hostages? Still, it's fairly pathetic for a country with nearly 50 million people.

Telkom is pleased to have achieved the target of 30 working days service level target as stipulated by ICASA’s ADSL regulations. This bodes well for our customer centric vision which seeks to increase customer experience and satisfaction.

**** you. I'm still waiting for my line. Current estimates put the ETA at 'sometime' in February. I can only hope that Neotel is able to offer an alternative service before you can. As for your alleged 'customer-centric' approach, I still can't get people at Telkom to call me back, to sort out my problem, to activate my line, to provide me with a service, to answer the phone in less than 10 minutes of holding, to be accountable, to take ownership, to be able to transfer me to another god-forsaken Telkom department!!!

You need to report to your taskmasters that we're not buying whatever it is you're trying to sell. :P
 
A Broadband Demand Register has been set up to hold orders that cannot be serviced due to infrastructure constraints. “This intelligence is being used to align our DSL build programme with actual demand. In addition, the Broadband Service Assurance System being developed will provide users with self-help and self diagnostic tools,” explained September.

And the propaganda of the week award goes to...

:rolleyes:
 
Imagine:

ADSL Connection: R50 pm (up to 4mbit/s, unlimited local bandwidth)
International Bandwidth: R100 for 10 GB, additional R15 per GB

Now that's reasonable!

Zzzzzz, damn, my coffee is cold!
 
Dear RPM. Please explain the following to items
1) ADSL port automation
2) commoditisation of ADSL

Tomasz I agree R50 per month is what we should be paying.
