Telkom Internet introduces unlimited browsing on capped offers

Telkom uncap their capped ADSL accounts

Telkom removes hard capping on its capped ADSL account, replacing it with a soft capped with shaping and throttling

Good stuff from Telkom.

 

[Quest10n]

Is this Telkom's first step in the right direction?

 

[MickeyD]

Getting better...

 

[LCBXX]

I wonder what prompted the move away from this model in the 1st place? It used to be like this, albeit with an eventual hard cap, around 18 months ago.

Great news! Well done Telkom.

Their website hasn't reflexted the change in the Do offerings yet

 

[AlmightyBender]

Very nice!

 

[roskii]

Definately a great step by Telkom. Slowly but surely.

 

[HapticSimian]

Pretty impressive to see what the looming threat of demise can motivate an entity to do...

Excellent from Telkom. I wonder if the other ISP's will or can follow suit?

 

[poorestguy]

this is awesome news! i wonder if gaming will be affected after the soft cap has been reached?

 

[Sony_3G]

So theoretically, if you have a 10MB line and 1GB cap from telkom, you now have uncapped. (Though the extend of throttling and shaping is unknown)

Wow

 

[Quest10n]

Telkom added that all data consumed on the soft cap will be free – a move away from the current system where customers may be charged for over-usage.

This is excellent news.

It only kicks in on 1 February, so I expect the change may only reflect then.

 

[Vrotappel]

Next step is to do away with double line rental.

 

[Big Bean]

This is good, but how will my ping be affected in-game? What speed will we be throttled to, 384k?

Yup, I have checked on my 1 meg account and it is not working yet.

Good news Telkom.
