So my landlord mentioned that the line was running a bit slow, and wondered if it would be worth upgrading. I kindly advised we should upgrade to 4MEG and I would foot half the extra money.

So at 9am today I called Telkom expecting the worst. After navigating the first set of questions, the call was answered right away. I didn't even get to listen to the on hold tune! (Slightly disappointing :whistle: )

The gentleman who answered my call sounded well educated and answered my questions and asked me for relevant information. He advised it would take up to 72 hours for the upgrade to complete. Total time on phone aprox 6min

I walked into my room, and notice my computer was offline! I started cursing Telkom thinking they somehow got it all mixed up and disconnected my ADSL service.

A few seconds later, my Skype came up and logging into the Router, "Downstream 4096"!!!

That was the quickest 72 hours of my life. Congrats Telkom.

Now to figure out how I'm going to con the Mrs. into giving me 899 for uncapped.....:erm:
 
Everyone who upgrades to 4Mb lines feels the need to make these threads to congratulate Telkom on how quickly its done.

Just remember, when it comes to giving them more money, Telkom has never had any issues...

Hoping to see more posts like these when(if) you have an issue with the line.
 
Couldnt agree more. I would love to have this kind of turn around time on faults. However, a job well done is still a job well done.
 
All it takes is a few keystrokes and the new profile is applied to your account.
 
It took them 18 months to give me a simple 384Kb/s line.
 
My upgrade too me about 10min...but yeh all depends on the person on the other side of the phone. Maybe phone again.
