Telkom 10Mbps ADSL service nears milestone

How many of those 200,000 actually get 10 mbps? And how many of them are on exchanges that are not overloaded?

And when are the rest of us going to be upgraded? :mad:

If I was Telkom, I would be more embarrassed over this article rather than proud of anything. Their progress sucks.

...and this guy....

You should be ashamed, not celebrating...200 000 out of 40 odd million people.
 
I would estimate maybe only 10% of those 200 000 actually have full 10mbps. In fact I don't even know a single person who does..
 
200 000 out of the whole country, which is probably 50 million is like a crack in the pavement.

At least Telkom is upgrading their network. But, their IPC is still expensive. How much is it again per Mbps?

I do, but you don't know me... Wanna be my friend?
 
at about R580.00 for residential, line rental and ADSL access x 2000 000 = R1 160 000 000
thats without data... and they only upgrading exchange's now....
 
I think they got there figure wrong or myBB typo error, it should read

"Telkom’s 10Mbps ADSL connections is gaining momentum with close to 20 connections; network upgrade progressing very slowly"
 
There are only around 800 000 ADSL subscribers in SA. So that's a quarter.
 
The cost and difficulty of deploying metro ethernet everywhere is undoubtedly a major factor and certainly understandable (e.g. Australia), but the cost of Telkom's IPC remains an unforgivable sin.
 
They digging up everywhere here in my dorp. Hopefully not too long now...

Bull****. They are lying. Probably to pull the wool over the shareholders' eyes.
 
Mot**$%* Bas*#$*&% aaargh!!!
Gimme my 10MB you lazy #&*#$!!

Getting so sick of waiting. It's almost like they don't want to make a profit.
Seeing that little green line on the Dark Fibre Africa website running right past my street today didn't help either.
This country makes me sick some days.
