Now, not to be a party-pooper and rain on everyone's parade, but wouldn't it have been substantially wiser to upgrade 384 - 1Mb and 512 to 2.5Mb?

This whole < 1Mbps internet access in ZA thing is still pretty embarrassing :o
 
4 years waiting for a line install, 8 months waiting for wimax install... by the time i get it i will be dead and my grandchildren will be trying to get a line.

Agreed. Sub 1mbs really needed to phase out of SA a couple of years ago
 
Can we consolidate all these 1024 threads? I'm getting confused.
 
If it was this simple to do, begs the question why it wasn't done years ago.
 
Of course telkom would choose 512kbps to upgrade, hardly anyone uses this product. It's only R70 cheaper than a 4Mbps line, so why would you get a 512kbps line when you can a 4Mbps for a few rand more?

The vast majority of ADSL subscribers are using 384kbps, and this is where the speed upgrade should be happening.
