Telkom ADSL checker down/broken?

[Sneeky]

If you lucky this site will show you the max speed in the area if I recall correctly:

http://www.telkom.co.za/coverage/

Sometimes it has a nasty habit of showing LTE though

Telkom's site stopped working, but the backend API must be fine because fortunately we can still query this data via sites like VOX and WebAfrica :-

Replace xxxxxxxxxx with 10 digit 'area code and phone number'

thanks!

It looks like it's working now.

I applied yesterday for mine. I'm right on the edge, if I check the map. Our security complex has VDSL and the one next to us does not

The exchange I'm on was converted to support VDSL. Not really helpful though as I'm too far out to take advantage of that.

The public checker at http://www2.telkom.co.za/checkadsl/check.htm is still broken for me - shows ADSL not available.

... however the checker on My Telkom https://apps.telkom.co.za/access-manager/protected/view/mytelkom is spot on:

It's the exact opposite for me - your first link shows I (now) have 10Mbps available & indicates my current service speed correctly, but after logging into the account, it shows no ADSL is available :wtf:

Where did you apply and it seems my exchange already supports VDSL according to the coverage map.

At Woodlands Mall Telkom Direct. Much less frustrating than waiting on the phone for someone to answer with no indication on how long you're going to wait.
