Adsl in the 'Platteland'

[Just_Ice]

Lol, here is only one pc shop, run by a granny, but anyway. I'll ask her.

"Hallo tannie. Weet tannie of ons ADSL hier in Zastron kan kry?"
"More elL0L, wat se jy? Wat is hierdie HPSL ding waarvan jy praat?"

*elL0L drags himself out of the shop rather depressed*

I take no responsibilty for the damage inflicted by my poor usage of the Afrikaans language.

Haha, that is another difficulty. She is the only English person in town. Now I must first learn to speak the Rooinek language...

Clever emglish woman knows how to make money though

Do you think there will be ADSL in Rouxville? Or would it be Aliwal North?

 

[Just_Ice]

I would say Aliwal more likely than Rouxville, but I doubt it.
Phone telkom though and ask, or find out on their site

Hi

I know basically nothing about Adsl. I live in the Free-State, in the town Zastron, in the middle of nowhere. I am considering the option of moving from Edge to Adsl 384kb. Okay, I don't think my exchange is enabled, but when I type in my number in the exchange checker in the Telkom website, they say that the service is unavailable. I sent a email to Telkom, but no response. Anyone knows if I can use anytype of broadband here, or when will it be possible?

A friend of mine lives in a small town in the Northern Cape, consisting of 1 hotel 2 "winkels" and a "place" to get petrol, and she has DSL, skype the whole package, on a telkom line.
I dont think there should be a problem for you.
