More value coming to ADSL users

[Juice]

I wonder if this will help anyone who is not a TelkomInternet subscriber. I use Unshaped ADSL through Imaginet and if Telkom is making wholesale bandwidth costs cheaper to Telkom Internet, I can only hope that they'll do the same for their other SAIX customers. I doubt it, but hopefully by then SEACOM will have landed and Imaginet and other providers can buy their backhaul bandwidth from someone else at a reasonable price. Roll on R20/gig, or maybe even less? We can dream...

Still, directly I expect to be bumped up from 384k to 512k at least, irrespective of the actual bandwidth.

I had 1 Mbps, now I have 4 (regardless of the actual bandwidth limit)
I had 3GB soft cap, now I have 5.
This article may be an April fool's joke but it's happened in the past so why not again?

Another announcement off a possible announcement later this year. Sigh...

 

[Lydon]

Erm, can someone confirm whether this is a joke or not? Because it's not really something totally unreasonable.

The News24 "Helen Zille will perform at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival" one was, on the other hand.

 

[LazyLion]

no, it's a real announcement. Nobody wants to treat it as such, because it is Telkom.

I want more cap. 384 to 512 is not a big deference.
Rather give us 1Mbps & bigger cap.

 

[inferno]

Outright lies

its true actually. I phoned in last week to find out why my adsl line was non existent. They answered the call after it rang just once. The next day my line was working.

I was pretty much shocked.

 

[Smiley_lauf]

Wake me up when this happens...nice April fools!

 

[saffakanera]

Lol, april fools post of the day! /facepalm telkom!

I was pretty amazed by telkom. I had my telephone and ADSL line within 10 days. And didn't hold for more than 5 minutes for support.

Please, no more april fools jokes.

Telkom also recently announced that its average time to install an ADSL service was now 17 days, significantly lower than the ADSL regulation requirements of 30 days.

Sarcasm = I wonder if they added my waiting time to this At this moment I've been waiting for an ADSL line = 2 years 1 month

And they still say my area is ADSL ready.. Go figure!!

 

[Gru]

I've had telkom adsl for years....

I reckon I should start insist on getting broadband now.

 

[eitai2001]

Please, no more april fools jokes.

No really ... I was shocked.
And when I had a problem at one stage with the phone line, I went to the Rosebank Telkom and reported it, the next day there was someone to fix it. Maybe its because it is a business line ... either way, the surprised me.
