U guys know you have been ripped off sadly by purshasing Telkom ADSL modems. I mean, R 2069.00 for a crappy usb and R 2400.00 for an ethernet modem. Sheesh.
We also offer the ADSL service to our customers. Obviously they are also complaining about the service, but there is nothing we can do about it. But, the big difference is that luckly they didnt have to dock up over 2k for a modem. Sheesh.
Our modems are USB/Ethernet, u choose which u want to use. and they are going for almost R 500.00 less than the cheapest Telkom modem.
The new modems we have just started importing (they are not available yet, due to quality testing and network compatability testing) will retail for about R 900.00 - R 1100.00
And to all you guys thinking of giving up your Telkom ADSL conncetions.....good luck. We had a mixup the other day where Telkom 'accidently' signed up one of our client to Telkom Internet. It took a total of 49 minutes on the phone just to get to the right people, then after that they wanted letters and 30 days notice and all crap like that for a service tht was never even requested from them.
Lastly, there is a work-around the 3GB cap thing. Get yourself a temporary ADSL account for the remainder of the month (obviously not from Telkom) and use that. Sure it will be extra expense, but to not drop to 9.6k conncetion speed, it might be worth it.
