Telkom ADSL/Voice Installation

[MickeyD]

I thought the telkom wireless substitutes you can just jam a normal adsl account on it?

Nope

 

[HavocXphere]

Nope

no man that can't be right...there is def one that rolls with adsl...or at least used to be. One of the wimax thingies that they only offer if the cables got AA shopped.

Wimax is ISM... FLLA is a 3G solution.

Strange...must have something mighty confused there then.

Sorry OP for the detour - please continue.

So, we have tried without success in getting internet services into this flat.

The complex planners apparently forgot to let Telkom in on the plans when the block was built.

- Telkom are unable to provide ADSL or fixed line services.
- iclix in the area are unable to get line of sight reception.
- The block has no internet facility available.

Would Neotel have their new LTE NeoBroadband in Bloemfontien?

You can give them a call to find out, there seem to be a few complexes that did that with fixed lines. One had an excuse ooh no one uses fixed lines anymore.

 

[MrG]

We still have no internet services in the flat mentioned.

Complex has no affordable internet alternatives. (Vodacom 3G Prices)

Iclix in Bloemfontein came through and reported service is not possible since they do not have line of sight.

Anyone have any ideas what is possible next? - Bainsvlei in Bloemfontein.

Have you tried:

Seems they are one of the better alternatives to ADSL. Their contact details are on the right hand side of the page.
