New LTE AUP from September 2016

Someone I know received a phone call from the guy that oversees the LTE team and apparently they have upped the full speed cap to 300GB. Next 50GB is at 4mbps thereafter 2mbps.

This is unconfirmed by me but I just thought I'd share it here as it may be the correct info.

Eh, no. That Telkom have publicly admitted - truthfully or not - they can no longer provide a service as is, places them under no obligation to fund your quest for an alternative. They are obligated only to allow cancellation without prejudice and that they've done, notwithstanding the uninformed phone jockeys in the call centre.

Throwing a bigger tantrum than what we've already done won't change the laws of physics. If they can't provide the service as is, their responsibility becomes to provide something AS CLOSE TO what was agreed upon to AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE willing to accept new terms. If you fall outside of those new boundaries you still have the option to walk away.

Yip, woke up this morning with unthrottled speeds, still cancelling, 300gb is still not uncapped.

yeah i would feel rather try and sell your LTE on than cancel it. Makes life alot easier as trying to cancel a telephone line with telkom for me was a pain.

A couple of things to keep in mind:
  • If the contract holder isn't changed with the provider, someone else will be using something you are still legally responsible for.
  • Telkom might be sticky about transferring an 'unlimited' LTE product from one person to another if they're not within the same tower's reception. Limited per base station and all, although I don't think Telkom actually notices nor cares about the odd travelling router.
 
well thats why you do legal docs or have the debit order come off there account

I agree, anyone on the R599 plan wanting to sell on to me, I will definitely take over your contract. While I don't disagree with the principle behind why people are upset, it is still great value for money and for those of us that cannot get fibre, it is the best deal available.

and people like me that would even settle for ADSL but they said they not putting anymore copper in area as it is high cable theft
 
So funny story in all of this *****storm thats going on currently.

On the Newshost forms there was the 1 guy who got taken to town called Wambalanse or something like that and he kept on pushing 1.6tb a month bragging about his 9.2Mbps download speeds.

So people started to take him to town about it because he just clearly could not give a damn about it. And everytime some called him out he had the opinion that its "Unlimited" and he will abuse it any way he likes. So turns out he updates his 720p anime collection to 1080p and once a month reinstall his pc or something and just re-download his complete steam library because he can was his comments.

He probably already put his cancellation so he can go and abuse some other service and I am so happy about that cause the internet needs less idiots like that on this product and more responsible people.

I am all for Telkom though to provide what we signed up for cause there are months where you might want to start a new series and play some catch-up (I personally would love to binge Supernatural from Season 1 again) and then you would be screwed.

My honest opinion about this would be to remove any type of capped limit. Reduce the speed from Full on 200 and then per 50gb reduce the speed by 10% each increment until you reach a min of 2mbps. But thats just my suggestion.

PS.... Wambalanse... hahaha you chop. We told you

If they would allow it, i dont see a problem. But im defs getting out, FuP on mweb uncapped premium is 950gb, was doing 600gb a monh with no problem (except its double the price of this LTE) but price was never the issue for me. Im in Bothasig area if anyone is interested.
