4mb/s upgrade question

[Inertia]

Is telkom only upgrading 1meg lines that are currently in service, or will they effectively be changing DSL1024 to DSL4096?

Reason im asking is that say i decide to upgrade to 1 meg in a few months, providing the trial is still active, will i also get the 4 meg upgrade?

I would like to know as well.

What would also be good to know is what the contention ratio's will be.. the 'up to' phrase sounds questionable. Could only be burst speeds and not normal download speeds.

Probably. Wait a few months, upgrade and then create a new thread and tell us all.

hope this helps

Telkom Home and BusinessDSL 1024 customers will get a whole lot more from their high-speed DSL access to the Internet as of September 2006 when the DSL 1024 offering will be increased to an up-to 4 megabits per second speed on a trial basis,” Telkom said.

The 4 Mbps service will be trialled with all Home and BusinessDSL 1024 customers nationally. Customers on the 1024 service will be upgraded to the highest speed possible up-to 4 Mbps during the trial, while the DSL 1024 access rate of R516.00 excluding line rental and ISP charges will remain.

If the trial proves successful Telkom intends replacing the DSL 1024 product with the new service.
