Salie said that Telkom is looking at bringing fiber to their corporate customers, increasing the speed on copper wire line to ‘up to 10 Mbit/s’ and providing fiber optic connections closer to the customer’s premise to enhance the capabilities of the existing copper infrastructure.

What about residential customers??

 

[aborg]

Well for telscum take advantage of their broadcast license they will have to bring faster speeds to residential clients as well. just a matter of time time time.

no point to do so while they have the monopoly. The speed thing is open competition it seems amongst the networks. everyone trying to out do each other in that department with quoted network speed(yet their international speeds of these same competing networks sometimes sucks in comparison)

Neotel’s Angus Hay recently jokingly said that the difference between their network and that of Telkom is that theirs is ‘Better, Faster, Simpler’.

Lucky for you Standard Bank has a new slogan otherwise you would've been in the dog box

Also, it appears to be invisible!

I can't wait to have a 10mb line and a 3gb cap

I hope he doesn't have to eat his words in the future.

Whats the point of having a better fiber network in South Africa when come the end of the month the international links are so congested everything times out. This seems to me like shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted they should have planned for improvements years ago!!!

omg 10mb line with a 3 gig cap or are they going to make it bigger??

 

[ldmelsa]

I'm sure they will make it bigger.

 

[LabAnimal]

Well... Whoever comes along that offers bigger caps with faster dsl... but doubt we'll see bigger caps anytime soon until new Fiber lands in SA.

IF i could choose who my service provider is over any of the other 3G networks, I would keep Openweb Uncapped...

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is unlikely to happen.

I suspect that either Telkodemonopolies will be bankrupt or I will have been dead for 120 years by the time that Telkodemonopolies 10Mbits/s ADSL2+ arrives in my area.

As for NeeTel, well it seems there is virtually zero chance of getting any kind of xDSL out of NeeTel in the near future - NeeTel and Telkodemonopolies have one thing in common - they are both slower than crippled snails.

The only fibre I can see residential customers getting for the foreseeable future would have to come from their kellogs all-bran flakes
