Telkom lL costs

L/L is not worth it compared to ADSL.

Telkom provides 64kb/s at 5581/m ex VAT as a SAIX ISP, the connection gives 16Kb international burstable to 64kb/s, but most of the time 64kb/s can be expected even without proxy servers.

The other option is the so called silver class service. around 2000 a month, but with only 8KB/s of international that's shared to four users! in other words a crap connection!

Regs,

Skype don't seem to be accepting my SA Visa or Mastercard...

There is more than enough credit in both...

What now???

I thought they sorted the ZA CC problem out, about a month or 2 ago i had to sit 10 times like with the skype online help to get my CC to work. I have to pay soon so i hope its not the same story. Eventually i went over to www.phonehome.co.za which eats a bit of bandwidth with the SIP protocol but works fine on Linux and Windows.

BTW the voice quality is the luck of the draw, on Sunday i had a magic connection to Europe.

After they had problems with being a verified by visa merchant, they now also take paypal and Moneybookers!

Are you placing the order from a SA IP address - it could decline if your card is not issued in the same country as your IP address.

For those who are having quality issues with Skype: turn on File>Options>Advanced> Display Technical Info. When you are in a call, hover your pointer over the screen. A box will pop up and display some technical info, you want to be looking for if and how many relays there are. I found on a 56k dail up, 4 realays would give me a really good connection on >43k, but direct tcp was best on <44k. On dsl it *shouldn't* matter, but t is Telkom...
