Telkom "free" wifi

[Ashblonde]

Hi guys

Any of you who are on Telkom prepaid know whether the free wifi that you receive has been discontinued?? I usually buy 1GB per month for my phone and then receive 10GB free( not that you can use all of it) but, last month I bought the 2GB for R139 and received 2GB wifi.

Only thing is.....there's no wifi.

What do you mean, there's no wifi?

Is there no telkom hotspot in your area?

I mean there's no wifi. I work across the mall in N1 city where there are quite a few hotspots and normally I connect to them with no hassle. When you check your balance they sms you giving you a breakdown on what you have.
Airtime, bonus airtime, data and wifi balance. It's just now.....there's no wifi.

The 2 gig bonus wifi expires after a week.

I don't understand what you are saying.

Is there no wifi signal at the hotspot locations or are you not able to use the service?

He/she does not have any free data allocated. Connection is fine.

On my side this free data is now useless since I get terrible speeds and have tested it at three different hotspots with similar results.

Wifi signal is good and I can connect. Just don't have no wifi data on my sim/account.

Ja signal is not that good especially if you want to download or something but, for surfing it's quite OK
