Telkom has the 1024K ADSL listed in their website now.

http://www.telkom.co.za/athome/products/dsl/home_which_dsl.html

Have a close look downstream 256 Kbps upstream 1024 Kbps - someone got things bass-ackwards - I hope!

Edit -

LOL look at the telkom website, stupid idiots fuked it up as per normal...
it says homedsl 1024 "downstream speed 256kbps" & "upstream speed 1024"

HAHA!

 

[rburley]

With the proposed per Gb billing system, having a DSL1024 will get rather costly..

Question: is "DSL1024" 1mbps?

yeh

I dedicate this post to the evil that is Telkom!

beat you too it!

 

[Nom Chompsky]

IMO it's pointless for anyone to get 1Mbps - you'll just reach your cap faster and it's more expensive...

:d

 

[mikkelz_za]

Why don't they call it 1mbps? Isn't that more along the lines of what is offered internationally?

"Hi, I have 1024K DSL.."

 

[WiseCrack]

I want it.

I called them and they claim a 14 - 21 day waiting list.

 

[rburley]

SNAP

lol, its amazing how they can make such a stupid mistake, it just shows how much they really know themselves

 

[daysleeper]

To reach cap!!!

On DSL1024 you can reach your 3gb cap in 6h31mins

what about the rest of the month?

1024 sounds better i suppose, it sounds more. Its like sayin I have 100 cents, mean while its only 1 rand

Why the long wait?

The amazing thing is the ppl at telkom dont even know about it - I had to give the lady the url for the page before she would believe me!
EDIT - actually its doesnt amaze me at all come to think about it.

What a load of crap. I can bet you it will be more like 21 days - 4 months.
Who the hell at Telkom came up with 14 - 21 days - lying bastards

I suppose the question then is ...

If telkom is offering a greater bandwidth option, would it make sense for them to add the per GB system ?
Good chance they would do something like that, but why ?

Its like giving a bigger/faster car with the same amaount of petrol ...

Simple - 1mbs connection = 12 gb per day. Thats 12 * R60 = R720 per DAY for internet.
Now, you get a virus / worm and .... (see the picture).
