Telkom's FTTH published download : upload ratio is 10:1.
So if you have 100 Mb/s down you get 10Mb/s up regardless of ISP.

One always got very close to the maximum upload speed regardless of time of day.

In the last few weeks I have noticed that the maximum upload is now 25% of the download.
My 100 Mb/s down line now gets 25 Mb/s up. I switched to a couple of different ISPs and noticed the same.
A couple of other people have reported the same.

So it seems that Telkom have uncorked their maximum upload speeds unofficially. I presume this is a test and if it works it is a prelude to an official announcement.

Good news. I don't think it affects many 100 Mb/s customers in that they rarely strain their 10 Mb/s up. But it will be useful for those on 10Mb/s and 20 Mb/s lines

My 40 Mb/s line has 10 Mb/s upload speed since installed (4 months ago).

Thanks. So it goes back longer than I thought.
One doesn't notice these things when you get good speeds.

My line is almost a year old and it was 10:1 for some time.
Telkom haven't announced it. All the websites still have a 10:1 ratio
 
This is brilliant news :)

edit: removed link irrelevant.

You know seeing this here now and if this becomes an official announcement, do you think more communities will look towards Telkom for FTTh as an option?

I wonder if those in contract will benefit for remainder of it :D?
