Telkom's ADSL 10 Mbps upgrades: Update

ADSL 10 Mbps upgrade update

Telkom started their 10 Mbps ADSL upgrades, a process which is likely to take 7 days to complete

[mcryan]

Alright then, so let's hear which lucky users have gotten their line upgraded, and what speeds are you syncing at?

I'm in Orange Grove - no change on my side just yet.

EDIT: Never mind, I see there is another thread on this already.

Is a list available of which exchanges will be upgraded?

[gregmcc]

It is anticipated that users who are in the region of 1.5 km from the exchange will be upgraded to 10 Mbps while other users can expect speeds of around 8 Mbps.

I"m about 1.5km's from the exchange and can only sync at 3Mbps!

Is a list available of which exchanges will be upgraded?

Unfortunately not - unlikely that Telkom will release such a list, but I will ask.

[g-d-zilla]

So, why is it only 4Mbps users/subscribers who are so fortunate to have their speeds upgraded? What about the majority of SA users/subscribers on 384kbps who are desperate for faster speed?

[CrzWaco]

There is probably a higher chance that hell will freeze over than get an upgrade here in Kimberley.

7 days != 20 August

Haha, ja: "7 days != 20 August"

Also, whats with the "final date for the initial migration". Those 2 words sort of contradict each other.

I hope that this "initial migration" refers to the 4Mbps being upgraded to 10Mbps, with the hope that Telkom would upgrade the 384 & 512kbps users too...
