my line shows max 20mbs, but I do NOT trust that stats. Crystal web tested the line and we are suppose to be on 40mbs. So, must I upgrade or not!!!!????? 20 is SO GOOD! BUT I always want more!

get 20 if you can...you can always upgrade later if it's possible.

I just put in an order for 40 because I'm to lazy to upgrade twice :/ if I can only get 20 then that's also fine for now...20/40...MUCH better than 4!!!!

Do I really have to phone 10210 to upgrade my line? Been on hold for 2 hours, have till now not spoken to a human. Oh and also, who is the dude in Protea Village with the moerse CTWUG tower close to the corner of Witteboom and Sauvignon? I hear him raging online every night from my house (playing games) lol

ja I know him, he is nogal a hardcore gamer :D

if you wanna get connected to CTWUG...he is THE man to talk to.

I am already on 20mbs!! The internet is really a lot better than the old 4mbs. I submitted a ticket to Webafrica, my isp to check if i can upgrade to 40mbs. they will hopefully reply in the next couple of minutes. i will keep you posted.

Telkom is pathetic. I'm still on 20Mbps ADSL2+, asked then to change it to VDSL, they have no clue what I'm talking about

I am on 20mbs adsl and still using my adsl router. You must send a message to their social team, they will know what to do. I will soon order my new vdsl router...... ...........Webafrica just responded to my request if our lines support 40mbs, and they said no. I still think we can get 40.
EDIT: i see that some parts of the village can get 40, but we are all connected to the same dslam. Telkom in the wrong again. Definitely 40mbs.

Might be distance related, if you're too far you can't have VDSL. You can still have 20 on ADSL2+ though.

Basset/Ronelle Street upgraded, but the telkom test thingie says I can do 4mbps max, which I've got. My router however reckons I can do 25 it seems.

But I want fibre :(

On pure VDSL now. Looks like we will be able to get close to 40Mbps VDSL in my street:

Freaken Telkom just downgraded my line. Shows 20mb on my router but on ADSL checker it now shows 4mb and looks like they don't have after hours technical support anymore... I so want to play games dammit
