Telkom fixed-line shocker - Biggest subscriber drop ever

5 times out of 10 we go for a fiber plus VOIP solution thats not on Openserve and 4 times out of 10 we go
Hold on, hold on, hold on ... you can't leave us hanging like that! What the hell happened to the remaining 10% of your clients?!

They went mobile only... and mostly worked from home, and it generally wasn't telkom ... Happier?
 
Smelkom is going to need to lower it's price of their uncapped LTE if they want to stay relevant
 
Only happy fixed line subscriber on the forum is me :p

It just works, I heard the areas around with me with fibre, actually get congested sometimes. So pretty happy with 40mps vdsl line.

That makes two of us. I have no idea why someone would want a mobile connection for use at a fixed location when fixed-line is available.

Telkom, however, is not making it easy for anyone to support them with their stupid shenanigans around "forcing" people off copper onto fibre then reversing the decision, and making such a mess of billing since the LD.

I went last month from 10meg adsl to Rain. After 1 weekend of testing, I cancelled my ADSL. Rain is 50 times faster, i can stream 4K , downloads FLY! Holy moly... I would rather give rain R999 instead of Telkom.

Stuff that took hours to download (25gig Xbox One game), took now 15min. I was also not sold on wireless, but experiencing 5G.... cheers ADSL

Nobody voluntarily chooses that if there are better options, they are either forced into it or its the lesser of 2 evils.
 
Onder hulle gatte uitgesteel ondat hulle nie kon bodder om hulle infrastruktuur te beveilig nie.

Rain did save themselves recently by fixing their 5G. Lets hope it stays this way.
