Feedback please: ADSL + telkom voice services

[dominic]

Hi

Serious thread please.

As an ADSL subscriber do you use the telkom voice service? Do you pay the bundled line rental purely so you can access ADSL and not use POTS at all?

If so please post your location (city / town etc) + your line speed.

Edit: Please only post in this thread if you do not use the voice service.

Hi Dominic,

I too wish to be naked at the office ... but my wife won't let me at home.

But seriously, we can dream of day when LLU and geonum portability is the norm here.
