Just called their business contact center, apparently it was cancelled in december....

Is it true?

Also ive heard alot of mixed feelings about screamer wimax,

I had a telkom telephone line installed in december, and to my disgust they cannot offer me adsl , and I live in the edenvale area????... *****ing disgusting.......

What would my options be for high speed internet?
I have 2 pc's at home aswell as a ps3 for gaming.

any ideas?

Have you heard of Cell C??
 
Eish, take it to the OT...

My advice, stay away from Screamer. Like you said, not very good feedback from the guys that have it...
I have Iburst and even though they also don't get any good feedback, I am currently using it for my online gaming need, as it is the only option I have. CellC might be faster and a bit cheaper, but I need the lower latencies, not the speed.
 
cell c 3G has excellent latency for gaming. play me in a game of fifa on ps3 and you'll see what i'm talking about...
 
I'll phone them later this week, as it shows on this thread cancelled, and on another, a person just placed an order through the call center......

I just wish that telkom would make a public anouncement on this. Yes or no, so that we do not keep on phoning and get conflicting messages.

How in the world can this be possible seeing that Edenvale is one of the biggest exchanges in Gauteng???

Unless of coarse if you actually work of one of the smaller sites that link up with Edenvale exchange that has no available capacity at the moment...

PM me your landline nr and i can check for you..
 
What is amazing to me is how often in our business we can get an ADSL line but cannot get 'phone lines'. Can someone explain that to me?
 
Just spoke to Telkom. Initially they confirmed that I was eligible for WIMAX and said I should just pop into one of their branches, so I do. I stand in the queue for half an hour, and the lady then proceeds to give me the business phone number, after checking again whether I was eligible, and said they would issue me with hardware. I phone the provided number, and they forward me to residential, who, after several minutes of waiting, proceeds to inform me that the service has been frozen indefinitely and that I should apply for ADSL. Because I'd apply for WIMAX if I could get ADSL. *sigh*. They then offered me 3G. Guess I'm screwed.
