You mean VDSL ???.
AT&T is rolling that out with their "Project Lightspeed" (fibre to the curb and copper to the last mile) and it is rather successfull I can gather.
Haven't heard anything else from them...
Our secretary ordered her line last Monday 26 June. They phoned her today to say they're installing this coming on Monday. That's a 2 week around time!! Say WHAT!?

A techie came to install the line today (yes, Sunday
). Plugs his modem in, no sync. Line is still on analogue. The printout Telkom gave him indicated that the line is plugged into the DSLAM, but it's not the case. Says he's coming back tomorrow. Eish.GangStarr said:
I've yet to recieve a phone call never mind about SMS...The only phone call I got was when they gave me an installation date plus ReF Number, I cancelled my days appointments and waited the whole day...No Telkom I phoned the next day early in the morning they said they'll be there in afternoon...No Telkom...I phoned yet again in afternoon...Told Me No ADSL(Something to do with the line)

The difference is that no one is going to call. The faults progress is input by some one (when u call for an update we read it off the computer) But now you shouldn’t have to because when its updated on the computer. The computer automatically sends an SMS to you with the update information.. no one is actually gonna be tying out all these SMS’s
) but I dont really care cos I dont like it here 
OK, phoned 0800 456 786 this morning (7 days since order).
They've allocated a port to me, and now a techie must go to the Durbanville exchange to go and have a look at something. That they will do today or tomorrow, and then someone will call me to setup a meeting.
So now I wait for that phonecall.

Day 22
We're on day 22 of the saga.
4/7: Ordered
11/7: Port allocated
14/7: Someone will call me 17/7 (no-one did)
19/7: Someone will call me 24/7 (no-one did)
26/7: They saw that there's still a ISDN port on my line, and they had to allocate a analogue port to it, that is done now, as well as the ADSL port allocation. Sent through to schedueling (sp??) department, someone will call me later today or tomorrow to give me a date.
Whatever.

Heh. I applied on the 27th of Feb. "No ports available". Exchange has since been upgraded. Ports have been available since at least the 6th of July. Now they just need to allocate me one. And that's where I've been sitting since the 6th. Wheeee...
