Sorry to butt in but Jocathy asked the question I wanted to ask. If you have a (physical) Telkom line but haven't used it for years, will they charge you extra? I last had a Telkom landline on prepaid that I let lapse.

Hi spaghetti, I think you'll have to pay Telkom the installation cost of R792. Unless you take an uncapped plan, like the one above for R599, then installation is free. Thereafter, the telephone line rental is R199 a month, which is also included in the R599.

Thank you Beesboertjie and Ponder. I'm planning on taking the R599 HomeUncapped plan. Seems the best suited to my needs.
In that case there will be no extra costs.
Bit of a necro, just apply for the base Closer package, which includes free installation even for a month to month. Once installed have the dsl activated.
Modem/routers are available for less than R800 from other suppliers.
Why would you lock yourself into a 24month data contract?
Just done this and entire process took less than a week, which suprised me.

I had an old landline at my house. Telkom wanted an installation fee to get it working again. So i took the closer 2 plan if I remember correctly. It costs R216 a month, no contract,no installation fee. After 'n few months just revert it back to a standard landline. I activated my adsl line through afrihost, didn't cost anything extra. I bought a netis router from takealot for about R350. It works perfectly. TV, tablets, phones, everything is connected to it. We stream full HD movies and TV shows on different devices simultaneously, no problems whatsoever.
