Another thing though....Did you had to re-set your routers, or did the 4mb just kick in?

Took Telkom a month exactly to upgrade me to 1024 earlier this year... :( Fools.

If your exchange support it it is quick, otherwise they have to do tests first

My donwnload speeds locally have improved somewhat, I'm getting 2mb speeds from SAOL's speed test. Telkom's test tells a wildly different story though.

Below is the data used to calculate your download speed:

Download time: 13.016 seconds
Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
Estimated line speed: 313.5 (kilobits/second)
Estimated line speed: 38.4 (kiloBytes/second)

According to them I'm on a line much slower than what I'm supposed to be.

Help!

with the new 4mbps trial thing, i wanted to upgrade my 512 line to 1mbps and be part of the trial thing.....

so i phoned telkom, and asked if i can upgrade to 1024 and be put on the 4mbps trial, the person i spoke to said that this is not possible. he said that i can upgrade to 1024, but the 4mbps is still in trial phase and only certain ppl have been upgrade....

WTF?!? is this true? how do i upgrade my current 512 line to the 4mbps ?

anyone succesfully upgrade their 512 line to 4mbps? pls help

Another case of people who work for Teklom not having a clue...If you upgrade to 1024, you will get 4096. I did.
