40Mbps Telkom VDSL hands-on

A demonstration of the Alcatel technology Telkom is using in its MSAN roll-out showed promising results

I might see this in action when I am about 50, 25 years to go... Viva Telkom for nothing!

 

[daffy]

Its almost as if no-one had tested VDSL between two rooms before. Yay telkom, well done.

Oct 2011 HSPA+ on Cell-C

Telkom is a bit late coming to the party.

Pity Telkom does not leave the MSAN at George Central exchange as we have
10 Mb/s and the hunger grows for faster internet

 

[Randux]

I think Telkom should suprise us all by launching a 100mbps service instead of 40mbps, just to try keep us up with the world though we would be still be behind. . . . . . . Btw when are the mobile networks going 84mbps? Or has all focus gone to LTE?

Telkom should get VDSL2 routers not VDSL routers

Still to slow to deploy... this should of been done already in 2005 if not sooner.

This is really cool, 41Mbps VDSL connections......All those people trialing Telkom's MSAN's are really lucky. I will only see this in 2017 probably.

Now for the price shock.....

Dream on....my 4MB Telkom connection in Bryanston is lucky to produce 1 MB down and 0.4 up (when it works), and we are next to an area -Fourways- that has been upgraded!

Whoop-de-doo. What would be more promising is for Telkom to fix my 4mbps line running at 2mbps only.

 

[ThinkCentre]

Is these MSAN safe from theft? They look as if someone would get something in there to sell on the black market!

What I like the most is the ability for the end user to change speeds.

I need to download a raw video, edit and upload again then i change my line speed for the day and change it back down the next day!

Ya that is kinda cool to manage costs. The thing is it should really just be made affordable to get the numbers.
