Telkom has slashed the price of its bundled entry level ADSL service in a new promotion

signing a 24 month contract

Rule no1: Don't sign a contract.
Rule no2: Don't sign a contract.

Rule no1: Don't sign a contract.
Rule no2: Don't sign a contract.

Crunching the numbers suggests that perhaps this is an exception:

Normal 384k line R165
Promotion R169

R4 difference x 24 months = R96.

R96 for a modem, 120 gigs and installation. Score.

I might actually got for this - need ADSL at my new place.

Assuming that someone (not me) does sign up for a whole 24 months, what will their monthly subscription fee be on November 1st (one day after the promotion has come to an end)?

24 months is a long time in this game

Good question. Maybe thats why my above calc seemed a little too good to be true.

Telkom highlighted that this promotion is subject to signing a 24 month contract

...en net daar kak hulle die pot mis.

A two year contract? Looking at how far we've gotten with ADSL in the last two years, does anyone really want to be stuck on something like this two years from now?

[copacetic]

Rule no1: Don't sign a contract.
Rule no2: Don't sign a contract.

Rule 3: if you do, don't talk about signing the contract.

In before whinging about pre existing customers and how we never get anything.

Why, do you expect ADSL rental to drop?

I get the 24 month argument with data, but this is line rental...you know...the one the just *increased*.

Will this 384 be upgraded to 1024 when the October upgrades come into effect? At what price?

[Shake&Bake]

Old mentality on pricing - Moving along...

[zaidmo]

R169 per month + line rental (R132?)

I'm currently on Telkom Prepaid (waya waya) and have 8ta 10GB i5 bundle At R199pm.
Not cost effective, unless they allow adsl on prepaid

I reckon if the exchange supports it then yes, looks very attractive at that price point.

+1 to Telkom imo
