192k to 384k? ~~~August 1st changes~~~

I just have a funny feeling that from midnight a 384 line will sync at 384, 512 at 512 etc. (Doing away with their silly software speed limiter...)
 
I wouldn't be so sure! has telkom ever done anything on time?

I bet you at this time tommorow evening speeds will be exactly the same if not worse.

any bets?

OH SHYT U KNOW WHAT I JUST THOUGHT OF. THEY GONNA RESYC EVERYTHING BLINDLY. lol thats brilliant cos every one of the dsl users who have a 384 line downloading at 56kbps are going to download at 32 now lol.
you win some you lose 24kbps :D now I wonder if its going to happen with 512 and 1024 users as well ( getting the speed that they supposed to Hm….. )
 
not that I know. but now that i thinkabout it u might need to give the router a reboot after midnight ( GMT +2 :p )
 
Well its 01/08/2006 according to my PC. Going to reset router now...

Stupid dial-up. :mad:
 
/me points and laughs at Christiaan! :D

That's not too bad for dial-up though, I remember getting 2-3kB/s during the dial-up era
 
I think u guys are too optimistic.... Telkom aint that fast... to actually upgrade u all at the Same hour of midnight of the 1st :>> lol

Please do tell, if and when u are upgraded....
 
Well their accounts department seems to be very efficient when billing you from the first second past midnight :(

Let's hope they get around to it during the day though
 
I can predict telkom's response to the upgrade question: It is imminent
