Good day forumites.

I've been lurking around this forum for the past 3-4 months, trying to find the best bb connection to suit my needs (If you can call what we have broadband).

At first I thought that iBurst would be a good option, but after the whole "disconnecting abusers" fiasco and a crappy demo, it was a no-no.

I then decided that it will have to be ADSL, as it is the most reliable, always on connection.

At last, after 7 weeks of phoning them every second day and fighting for an available DSLAM port, I am connected. I ordered ADSL 192 and will upgrade as necessary. With the telkom price cuts just around the corner, it won't be long before the 1st upgrade.
I bought myself the Billion 7202G wireless router. Awesome little bugger. I'm currently getting 256kbps downstream on the telkom speed test. Now I must just get my hands on an axxess account.

Anyhow, I just wanted to introduce myself as I hope to become an active myBB member.

Thanks a lot for a great forum!!

Hey welcome.
The best option on dsl at the moment IMO is dsl384 and take the axxess 10Gig account.
 
Welcome aboard - still - bit of a sorry situation when someone feels elation because telkom finally got around to connecting them.

7 weeks to get connected - shame on you telkom! You're doing more harm to this country than any one else and all in the name of profit.

Proudly South African my ar$e.
 
I am glad that once someone gets ADSL line installed, the bitching stops :-) So this is a good sign that it really works!

With iBurst the bitching starts after the modem gets installed which takes 15 minutes usually, as opposed to 7 weeks :-)
