KEY NEXT GENERATION NETWORK AND CAPACITY ACHIEVEMENTS
Increased demand and bandwidth hungry applications have required Telkom to
upgrade its capacity.
The following are the key investment areas:
- Telkom has grown its national and international IP network capacity by
53% to 28.9 Gbit/s and 60% to 2.4 Gbit/s, respectively;
- The bandwidth of the local and national transport networks have increased
12% to 5.7 Tbit/s and 20% to 1.2 Tbit/s respectively;
- Data networks have seen Diginet and Diginet Plus Services increase
bandwidth by 20% to 20.8 Gbit/s;
- The ATM network has grown 30% to 104 Gbit/s to cater for increased ADSL
services; and
- The SAT-3 cable`s capacity has trebled to 120 Gbit/s from 40 Gbit/s.

Seems there should be some spare capacity on SAT3

It's been improving over the last couple of years. Obviously they do still need some debt in their capital structure.
