In case you didn't know, Telkom will be publishing their new tariffs on the weekend of 10/11 June.
 
So this "new" tariffs... Is this for DSL? And is this maybe a lowering of the price? If do: Better late than never. I'll take what I can get from Telkom :)
 
Not too sure what will be in the announcement, but am hoping ADSL prices are included (and will be lowered). Not holding my breath though!
 
After being burnt so many times, I hope prioces do not get "lowered" - as this usually results in an overall increase per month.

I can just picture it now -
ADSL line rentals reduced by 30%
Cost per GB increased 50% ("as this will benefit those users who only use ADSL for telnet MUDs" - end quote).
 
Have we not figured out yet that telkom is grasping at any life line to stay alive and will not lower prices unless forced to? They've just had their two biggest assets (Local loop and SAT) taken away because they abused their monopolstic position.

With three mobile providers, the fictitious SNO and sentech being positioned as a voice carrier what does telkom have left to offer?

If they had any commonsence they'd start trying to impress their customers asap.
 
No think they are planning to milk the cash cow (public) until they are forced to stop. I think we are looking at an increase on all dsl packages and a minor increase in bandwith on the packages to sweeten the deal and give them some public excuse.

yup.
Staying with Telkom now would be like staying with an abusive spouse "for the good of the children".

And you're not the only one who feels that way.

Good thing is the SNO is also going to be under the same restrictions - if they're not competitive how are they going to survive - especially with sentech being positioned to be a third national operator. Of course with that the government no longer has any justification of being a telkom shareholder.
 
When I was in the UK I had no loyalty, the "cheapest" and "best service" company got my business, except here I would NEVER go back to Telkom, even if they were cheaper.

A rare moment - someone used the words "Telkom" and "Cheaper" in the same sentence. :D
 
My friend who returned from the Uk the same time I did, refuses to get a telkom line on principal, so just uses his cell.

I wonder why anybody hasn't brought this up yet, but if I had to be the SNO - I'd be SERIOUSLY )$%*$()($% off about goverment just "bringing in a third guy" into the equation??? Maybe the SNO is really speechless(ly shocked?) concerning this???:eek:

Well they may not be telkom shareholders exclusively, but they hold shares in all 3 operators. What we then have is a fixed line cartel, much the same as we have in cellular.
 
what kinda rate decrease are we expecting?
 
lol, okay more realistic, what are we expecting? 30% decrease?

ADSL 192 - (Scrapped?) or R270 to become R189?
