New DStv Explora, Telkom SmartHome bundle announced

I don't see it on the website yet. Does this include the Smarthome Supreme package as well?

I spoke to the call centre and the decoder is available on the Smarthome Supreme package as well. With the amount of extras you get, plus the 20% off for the first 3 months, this deal is very good value for money.

I did some numbers to see if this is worth it, this is a break down of my current costs:

ADSL 40mb Line + 100GB R854
Telkom Landline (line retnal + calls) R250
Monthly Data for Devices R300
Monthly Mobile Bill (Voice) R400
Total: ~R1800 monthly

That's excluding all the hardware and software included which is valued close to R5000 (~R200 per month).
 
Telkom said that this offer applies to existing subscribers that upgrade to 10Mbps (or faster) lines, or new customers that take up 10Mbps (or faster) services from 23 November 2014.

Telkom, you swines.

Are you trying to imply that this offer is then open to all?

Obviously not, as not all your exchanges even offer 10Mbps - I'm on one that only gives a maximum of 4Mbps - therefore, as a national company, you shouldn't be making offers like this that are only open to a select few.

Or is this offer so pathetic, you don't expect many to be remotely interested enough to take it up?
