who knows which wabbit telkom will pull out of the hat.
 
I actually hope they also introduce a new package so they have 4 speed groups and not just 3.
 
in another topic here i read someone posted something about some inside news that it will be upgraded also (384 , 512)....?
 
Note: Telkom does not have a 512kb/s ADSL service anymore. There is only a 384kb/s and 4mb/s ADSL services bundled into different packages.

And then there is also talk of the DO2 and DO3 packages having the speed increase. 384kb/s for DO2 will be increased but to what there is no indication yet. 4mb/s will go to either 10mb/s or 12mb/s but on a limit of 20 000 lines country wide and you must be in a metro ethernet capable exchange area for that to happen...

Only time will tell...

Come on mid August...
 
there are 4 speed groups, 384, 512, 1024 and 4096.

the 1024 is obtainable with the closer 5 deal.

and I want to know whether the speed of the do accounts from telkom are line speed restricted or account speed restricted?

We are talking ADSL service dpeeds on the DO Broadband packages not the other type of accounts on offer. I have it on very good authority that the 512kb/s speed is not in service anymore and all DO packages that was on 512kb/s is now 384kb/s. As for the 1024kb/s I can not elaborate.

Your ADSL speed is at all times account restricted as the type of package you are on determines what speed configuration your service should be. The only time when the line will influence your speed is when you want a 4mb/s or higher speed and you are to far away from the exchange for the service to work proparly at the higher speed.
 
Asked a friend who work in the exchanges for telkom in a sertion town close to me, he says as far as he knows lines for 384 and 512 will not be upgraded, and in my town we will go only 4 mb to 8mb (no 10 or 12), and that not even now...only LATER.
 
@Acid

yeah but thats what I was askin about, if I had a do2 account but upgraded my line to a 1024, would I be able to my line speed on my do account, or not? I know the do2 includes line rental, but I have the closer plan 4, and they bill me separately for the do2 3GB (R130), the 384kb line rental is included with the closer plan.

I'm also on Closer 4...
 
Look at these links:
Closer Plan 4
Closer Plan 5
Do Broadband Packages
On all of these packages you will see there is mention of only 384kb/s and 4096kb/s (4mb/s) connections.
As I have it there is no more new services or even existing services for a 512kb/s or 1024kb/s speed.
I will make a few enquieries and get back to you but thus far it seems to be the only 2 ADSL speeds available until the 8 - 12mb/s services comes into operation.

Yes, but you can get 512 as a standalone product:
