Telkom 10 Mbps ADSL: Upgraded areas emerge

Numerous ADSL subscribers’ speeds have been bumped up to 10 Mbps, but Telkom is not in the mood to talk

 

[MonTage]

Why would they want to talk?!
People would b1tch and moan cause they not getting upgraded yet! I know i would!

 

[Monkey101]

Why do i get the feeling i won't be upgraded

 

[Nuro]

I would like to be upgraded, but sitting on mweb 4meg uncapped, it won't help me anyway.

I saw a guy working on one of the exchanges this weekend in the Parklands area in Cape Town, don't know if it was upgrade work or not.

Dam useless info... What the heck does that mean. the whole of PE will get 10meg? :/

I actually don't think there is any method to these chops .... they're just pot-shotting people's lines at enabled exchanges. The bulk will be given to CT and JHB and the rest of the country will get a handful and that's that.

I live in Tableview, Cape Town - how can I check if my exchange is Metro-Ethernet and ADSL 2+ ready? I want to know if my area is on Telkom's jobcard for speed upgrades. Telkom call-centres are useless. I have called both 10219 and 0800 375 375 and the idiots there don't even know what I am talking about. They are blissfully unaware that the company they represent are upgrading the speeds, so can give me no info. Which rock do these people live under?

I think your 100% correct... i doubt il see 10mb near gateway till they officially launch it

 

[hambone]

Not for me... ever.

Yeah, got upgraded to 6mpbs over the weekend in Parklands, so they were definitely doing something. Although I have terrible line sync issues now!

I've looked at all the feedback and only one person in the "Eastern Cape Region" indicated by poll that they had been upgraded. So it may not even be Port Elizabeth. As the second most populated province in SA it is hard to see at this stage how "Numerous ADSL subscribers", "Port Elizabeth" and "upgraded" can appear in the same sentence.

It's interesting to note that the Sandton / Morningside/ Rivonia / Sunninghill area is yet to be upgraded in Jhb. DO IT!!

 

[Messugga]

I'm quite curious as to whom in Bloemfontein said they've been activated. Nothing at this part of town nor at one of the other areas with a relatively high 4mbit density.
