Why would you need the ISDN if you have ADSL uncle Landy? ;)

The ISDN is used for multiple line subscriptions ... I have a home office, with home line, office line, office fax ... all in all 4 numbers coming into my house.
 
Okay, I understand ;)

I guess you'll have to install a seperate ADSL line then, since you won't want an ADSL conversion. I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not you phoning Telscum, heheehe.

Unless I am missing something, isn't the R554 including line rental?
My point is that it will work out more than R554 for my solution, as ISDN line rental is more expensive than normal lines

Just so you know you can't get ADSL on an ISDN line, you'll either have to convert it to analogue or get a separate line installed.
 
Or they will have to offer me WiMax, or they need to make a plan with the fibre running to my house ... OORRR, I will just tell them to f!ck off, and go with the existing DSL services in the Estate ... ok, maybe I won't go that far :)
 
actually as history goes ibust increases prices instead of dropping prices
 
This morning I can't connect from IS ADSL to iBurps... had to dial in to Mweb to connect... :rolleyes:

luverly... :rolleyes:


And it is slow - normally VPN on iBurst isn't slow, but today takes the cake...

It's all here in the news section..

"Current TelkomInternet subscribers are not immediately capped when reaching their monthly limit – typically 3 GB - but Maritz said that this will happen in future."

"This basically means that international hard capping will be strictly enforced while local bandwidth charges will be levied on any additional usage after being capped."

I'm not sure how soon TelkomISP will make these changes (to local usage) though. After the recent hearings it will probably take a while, but they might go ahead with hardcapping at any time.

I think I'm beginning to understand - maybe they have set up a global throttle on POP3 - meaning that should one user connects, he/she will have a fairly good connection. As soon as another user connects, then they share that throttled bandwidth... and 10 users have to share that same bandwidth... and so on... 1000 users will frustrate themselves with a piddly connection...

Instead of throttling per IP they employ global throttling which degrades the service even further instead of balancing things out.

But I might be wrong...
