ADSL Line Speeds

[BrianStephan]

Hi

Would just like to find out when you guys think Telkom will introduce new line speeds if they will at all from the 4mbps lines?

Thanx

So i upgraded to 4mbs line only to realise that my line drops for a few hours, works for 10 minutes, drops another few hours ... Telkom drops the line speed to 640kbs and same problem. Downgraded back to 384 line ...

Still think Telkom can introduce new line speeds ?

i have heard a few rumours of some people/companies that are currently testing the 8mb lines, but this is just a rumour and I haven't personally seen any hard evidence.

There were rumours of that last year on myBB.
Ain't gonna happen until the cables have landed.
End of story, methinks.

I think when the new Seacom cable is up and running, we can expect line upgrades. And that is a BIG maybe.

No way we are gonna get line upgrades - the national network cant handle the present number/speed of lines - and SEACOM is only and international pipe. To get decent line speeds we will need to see a massive increase in infrastructure from Telkom. Then, and only then will we see some form of line upgrades.

Agreed, but I would think that Telkom would upgrade there infrastructure, cause the Seacom cable's throughput will be a lot more and to take advantage of that, they will have to upgrade and give us a better line speed...

It suxs because we are way behind in line speeds at 4mbps and whats shocking of all is that Telkom offers Maritius cheaper internet and phone calls but in our country its sitting at 180% compared to the rest of the world its a disgrace in my opinion

I would love to have an 4mb link. What I don't understand is, why complain about the 4mb lines when I kill 30Gigs of BW in 2 weeks of time on my 512k. If I had a 4mb line, It would be a waste, cause I will not have BW after the first week of the month.

Thing about Telkom is, is that we'll have 10mb lines before we get higher caps. Give us larger cap sizes than line speeds I say.
