Telkom warned that the speed of the new services and the expected customer experience relies on various factors, some of which are not in Telkom’s control.

Lies!

And when will they sort out their billing department? I've been paying for a line that I cancelled two months ago already.

True, but the skelms are a bit dom, they still dig up the cable, only to find it's fibre, but the damage is already done!

After a few times of this though they'll just give up.

LOL was thinking the same thing when I read it

Telkom added that the higher speeds will be complemented with rich media content in future (like video and music on demand and IP TV) which will further boost fixed line broadband access in South Africa.

So now Telkom's gonna start making content available as well? .. or were they somehow trying to explain the benefit their higher speeds will bring in future?

Increasing prices in a market where prices should be dropping? How's that monopoly working for your broadband plans for Africa hey Pule?

And we still sit with only 4 meg lines (some of which don't even touch 4 meg) still waiting on broken promises of upgrades since 2010

[Pansyfaust]

So how much will the old 1mbps line cost then if the new 2 mbps line will cost R289?

Your old 1meg line will be converted to 2meg for free.
