Morning Hereticangel

This is awesome news. :)

You'd be lucky to get full 10meg though, it all depends on which provides you a more stable internet connection; Telkom would keep dropping the speeds until they find the most stable connection for you.

Kind regards,

ok i will phone them today after work, not sure if they can upgrade after hours?

i have though hauwei router that can sync my 4mb at 29dba snr, but wireless is signal is so poor.

i will be happy with 6mb, will use full speed of my 4mb account, making 1080p vids watchable :)

yeah its quite a different experience coming from a shaped 384 line to unshaped 4mb. hdd space is fast becoming a problem though ... will have to upgrade my system very soon :D dont think the wife gonna be too pleased with me.

yeah, i also have an unshape account. uncapped shape is too much for my budget. spending 1K for internet is insane. times are tough and i need to pay the bills end of the month. for the cap account i'm happy ,but uncapped would have been better.

Who are you guys phoning for 10mbps ADSL support? I call 0800 375 375 and they tell me to call 0800 500 200 who tells me to call 10215 which doesn't exist! So it's pretty hopeless :( plus i called about 6 times today.... the whole lot are useless!

Still not accurate. I know for a fact that some of the DSLAMs in my exchanged are 10mbps enabled yet the checker says NO.

Mumble...mumble...kicks the dog....This service can not be converted to 10Mbps Fastest DSL at this stage. Please check again in future as we are continually upgrading the network :mad:

*sigh* makes me depressed, still on G.dmt modulation and also shows that it can't be converted and if my line worked properly and could be upgraded it would be so sexy with my attenuation of 11 (down) and 7 (up) :(
