www.property24.co.za

choose the link on the main menu that says "Exchange Search".
Lets you search for properties within a certain distance from the exchange and for what speed you wish to have eg: 384 -> 4mbit ;)

10km is way too far - probably be lucky if it synced at 64kpbs
If you can't move then look at satellite or wireless (if there is coverage).

I waited 2 years for Telkom to install a DSLAM in my area. The only thing you can do is petition people in your neighbourhood to sign something saying they want ADSL installed in their home. If you get like 30 names together then you can probably hassle someone high up in Telkom with it. But this is unlikely to speed up the process by much, Telkom will do it as and when they feel like it.

Oh and as far as paying for a DSLAM - they cost several hundred thousand rand to install :) It's not just an ADSL router it's a huge cabinet with routers, UPS's, patch panels, cooling, actual DLSAMs, etc.

Yip, sell and move.
