Hmm, alright... so if I upgrade my line to a 20Mbit ADSL 2+ line, not VDSL line
Well technically, the product you buy is still the 20Mbps VDSL product, even if it is given to you via ADSL2+ technology.I'm not using VDSL, I'm using 20mb ADSL2+... So with your argument I should be getting full speed on my line
Using Voxy's words, you 2 are correct, but also, at the time VOX created the Bolt-ON product, there was no 20Mbps ADSL product available either, so Voxy used the wrong wording here. Should have said "specificially for ADSL products" instead of "ADSL technology".
Thanks for the compliment - another "non-negative" comment from me

The promo they ran here a couple of months back might also have something to do with it :erm:

Accounts cancelled.
I just wish there was a way to change at what time the bolt-on kicks in, would be nice if I could use my fatpipe account at full speed in the evenings and only have the bolt-on activate at midnight or something. This way I could use my account at full speed for the remainder of my contract period.

When Telkom first created a capped ADSL account, there was no 4mb ADSL available... See where I'm going with this?
It doesn't matter, they changed it and they won't change it back. Simple as that.

As some have stated, for R59 you cannot complain.
It works perfectly (if you are in Joburg).
I am not downloading that much anymore, using it mainly for streaming Netflix and works perfectly for it.
Best account I have tested for streaming.
My only gripe is with the capping of the fat pipe during the day when you still have roll-over data left.

It's all well and good if your line speed isn't more than 10Mbps, but when find out your line speed has now been quartered without anyone telling you I can guarantee you be peed off too.
I now have to sit with this account for another month because they failed to properly communicate with their clients in time.
And if my latency graphs are anything to go by it doesn't look like their plan is working very well. Still seeing latency spikes on these accounts.

Just got an email from Vox about a phishing scam,
I signed up for this service on the 29th, and somehow scammers already have my email and basically everything about my account (the email had my freaking ADSL username on it)
Vox's security has been breached... Anyone else receive an email?

Also got the email, obviously they sent it to all their subscribers. They don't really go into detail on how the scammers got the e-mail addresses, maybe somebody can update this thread explaining this.

Lol, mine is a perfect 10Mbps
that's must be causing you so much butthurt. I have a perfect 4Mbps. hoping Telkom bumps up the line to 10Mbps.

Yeah speeds are fine, but I also have latency issues on my VOX account in the evenings, in Cape Town. At the same time, Web Africa and Telkom-Guest accounts don't have latency.
