Just got my latest Telkom account...

Only 1 call was made during the month...

The charge? R609.05!!!
 
Nope...

A local PTA call, that lasted for all of 2 mins 3 secs...
 
You have to read the fine print ... calls to adult-oriented *cough* services *cough* cost a wee bit extra ... ;)
 
Hehehe...

The call was actually only R0.68 (excl VAT).

But with line rental and 384kbps ADSL and Infinitcall added, it amounts to an increase of approx 78467%...

Thank goodness I don't have 1024kbps!

You have InfinitCall on ADSL?? Er.... why?

Juice
Because some people still use telephones for talking? ;)
 
Jokes aside though how does Telkom justify forcing us to pay for a phone line that we dont neccesarily use ?
 
For the record, I'm a HomeDSL 192 subscriber.... happily been downloading for over 6 months now at speeds generally between 40 and 50KB/s. I'm not complaining, of course, but I am confused. My argument for getting 192 was that with a tiny cap, what's the point in reaching it in a few days while I can now reach it in a couple of weeks?

Is this hyper-performance 192 line normal? Am I alone in this? I suspect many folk have this too, but don't want to admit it in fear of losing it. Hell, my adsl days are numbered so I don't care. Perhaps there truly is little (or no?) difference between a 192, a 384 and a 512? Other than price.

Anyone?
