The 'free' wifi router deal only started in mid-Feb (AFAIK) and it is only on offer with self-installs (SIO as Telkom calls it) till the end of March '07. I suppose there is always the possibility that they extend the offer. The current special almost seems to generous for the Telkom that we all know.Free modem deal has been around since the beginning of self install.Did you guys know that? I sure didn't. It seems like not to many Telkom sales people knew either, and still don't!
U can ask 4 Telkom people the same question and get 4 different answers, so just be aware of that... u really have to know your facts when u try to get anything right with them!

If I can summarise my interpretion there are three scenarios:
1. Telkom install with no contract - You have to pay R799 for the modem + R437 for the installation
2. Self install with no contract - You get the modem for free and pay nothing for the installation.
3. Telkom install with contract - You get the modem for free, but have to pay the R437 for the installation.
*) Option 2 might not be available anymore after March 31 2007. My Telkom ADSL ISP service was switched on exactly on 31 March 2007, and I have to pay for the full month of March.
My case was supposed to be option 2, but I received a bill for my 384kbps 2GB shaped that read as follows:
Modem : R964
Financing : R58
Installation : R383.77
DSL line + ISP + line : R723.77 (March and April combined)
TOTAL : R2129.54
Incl VAT = R2427.67

@wernert: I'm still waiting to find out how things turn out since I am still waiting for them to convert me from ISDN to DSL... *sigh*
