I installed a line in Feb for use with ADSL at home (waiting for my 3G contract to expire) Will have the ADSL line installed next month. (4096) (sainet ISP)
"this was meant to be ADSL only but the wife got hold of it...":D

Akasia / Pretoria

At work (rivonia / Johannesburg)

We have 2 ADSL lines (4096) (sainet ISP)

Only used for ADSL :)
 
data only. never give out the number, never connect a phone to it.

Edenvale (011452xxxx), Johannesburg. 384kbps.
 
We use the voice part for Fax at home & office

Centurion, 512k (office ), 384k (home)
 
Work: Doringkloof: 4096Kbps: Use analog as my Fax line
Home: Rietfontein: 4096Kbps: Use analog as residential voice line

Would have used the PrePaid services for analog / fax lines should DSL have been available without POTS
 
Highlands North, Johannesburg
Claimed to be 4Mbps, but only achieves 1.1Mbps due to quality of the copper.
Only ever used the line to phone Telkom's call centre to fix the DSL
 
got adsl 4 meg with closer option 1
with do bundle
use phone as per closer, but mostly adsl, CAP permitting :P
 
Well at work (Vereeniging) we use a 512KB line and the voice service is purely just used for faxes in and out
 
I am posting not for myself but for my sister (I use the analog portion). My sister has 2 x 4Meg lines in her business and neither of them make use of the voice portion. She is based in Rivonia.
 
Cape Town, Business:
Using a 384k ADSL line at work without its voice service. For voice we use Vox.

Cape Town, Home:
At home we have 3 telephone lines. The 4mbs ADSL line is used once or twice a month perhaps for voice. Its used every day for internet access.
 
We have a 4mb line at home (alberton, johannesburg) and never use the telephone. This line costs me about R650 a month for 1GB. I purchase additional bandwidth as I need it because it's cheaper than pre-purchasing. Go figure.
 
4 Different Houses.
4 Different ADSL lines, transfers, whatever.
4 Different new telephone ports.
4 Years

Total phone calls on telkom line: 20

Of which 13 were to Telkom ADSL support and 7 were to find my cellphone

[Currently running 4MB Port, Unshaped traffic]
