Still fsck all for me. I'm wondering if my exchange is still one of those dinosaurs that max out at 512k.

Remember if you have a 512 data contract then that's all you gonna get.

Maybe register for one of those free trail accounts somewhere or buy a once-off 1GB somewhere to test with.

If that runs higher, then up your data contract.

lol I'm aware of that :) Mine still syncs at 512/256.

Have you called them to ask? Maybe for some they will only change it once you ask for it.

It is telkom after all, surely you can't expect them to get the change over done without overlooking a few people.

& yes I know you could wait long before they answer your call.
 
least they couuld do now is bump 384 to 512

Unfortunately never going to happen. Telkom has mentioned that they just break even on the 384k accounts and that they will add value to the other accounts to get people to upgrade.

My suggestion is look into the cybersmart night rider R499 all in one deal if money is tight. Or suffer 384k speeds.

Last I heard: they will keep the 384 lines as it's a fair bit cheaper than others & at least provides a bit better speed than dial up.

So I suspect that for a long time to come 384 will stay & you'll see changes to the higher packages with more being added with time.

Also heard that.
 
So I guess if I upgraded today they would charge for the whole of this month?
 
my line's request from 384 was submitted around lunchtime & was 1024 by mid afternoon. (on thursday)
 
Actually, I've got a 512 contract and I'm upgraded (so far)
But then, Cybersmart usually do that. That's one of the reasons I'm with them. (And unshaped bandwidth)
 
Almost every capped account from every ISP in South Africa runs at whatever your line speed is. So you do not have to do anything once your line speed has been upgraded, your data account will run at whatever your line speed is. Only uncapped accounts are throttled at a specific line speed.

Actually I recall cybersmart charging different amount for data according to what speed line you have.
 
Hmmm, how do I check if mine is done? Speeds are the same :/ but i am on a 384k shaped package.
