I live in a completely different neighborhood to Bothasig, but my line goes there -4.something kms away. Telkom refuses to move me to a box not 400m from me just down the road (which incidentally is on this list: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/83765-here-is-where-you-can-get-20mbps-40mbps-vdsl.html ). Max speed -due to line attenuation and noise - is 1mb. When it rains there are sometimes problems. When people come home from work around 5pm-7pm or so, there are sometimes problems. 021559
Fck you telkom!
