(stupid) question about axxess uncapped

[stevovo]

Ok I'm really confused now, I wanna get axxess uncapped but I want to get the full 4mb speed after hours.

Now some people say you need a 4mb line with telkom and others say you only need a 384kb line with telkom.

Which one is it?

You need a 4 meg line with a 384k axxess account.

I got it last week, Downloaded 65 gigs this weekend..

If you want 4MB then you need a 4MB line.

Holy ****

Now I really cant wait for my line any longer!

Hurry up telkom!!!!!!!

I swear I would even pay a technician himself just to come out sooner

 

[rurapente]

yeah you get your line speeds max speed a/h and on weekends, and you get the uncapped throttled speed in the day, which is 384 if u take it or 192 if you've gone over the 5GB rolling cap.

I just got a call from some lady at telkom wanting to confirm my address and if someone is at home.

I'm gonna hold thumbs that they install it today...

Unless you don't have a phone line, they don't come to your premises anymore to install ADSL. And I doubt it would be today. Telkom time (when they phone you like that) is usually at least another 6 day waiting period.

I didn't have a phone line at all. They are at home now installing it, looks like they are strugling though, hope they come right

 

[stevovo]

Amazing! I only phoned telkom last week wednessday and today I have a telephone line!

 

[OhGats]

Telkom installed my tel line yesterday afternoon, they phoned me in the day before and the tech phoned me 10 minutes before he arrived. Now to get them to activate the ADSL portion.

Cool get a 4MB line man, with Axxess youll get +- 80gigs on a 384 Telkom line in a month (+-R14/Gig) but with a 4Mb line you will get +- 750Gigs per month (+-R2/Gig)

Bear in mind that you have a month notice cancellation period i.e. if you want to cancel it now it will only deactivate end December and an initial sign up fo 2 month minimum, so u sign up and cancel it straight away if you only want 2 months!

PS: Buy 400 Dvd+Rs or find 1.5TB of space somewhere!

Went on tuesday to register my line for adsl. They said I would be phoned withing 24 hours to come and collect my router etc.

2 days later I go back and now they tell me somebody first has to go out and check that the line is compatible for adsl!?

My aunt right accross the street has adsl!

 

[stevovo]

Great now they say its gonna take 30 - 40 days because there is no adsl pots or something like that!

Does anyone with the account actually get 384k in the day

That's a cr@p one! Well I think it's worth the wait though. Just think of it, full HD youtube streaming, Unlimited online gaming, and like someone once said (can't remember who) *coughcoughpiratebay*.

You are very lucky!

Nope. Permanently on threshold, So I have a 1 gig prepaid account I use during office hours when I'm home. Otherwise I'm at work anyway...

I can live with the 192k in the day, it's enough for basic browsing an mail. Sucks when your home sick though, although normally I just sleep those days away.
