Telkom Internet Softcap Feedback

cavedog said:
I know. We need @ranger to plz look into this. Not sure how we going to get the IP's that are leaking the data to the softcap but it needs to get fixed or the do gaming addon is totally useless and not to mention misleading....

Does the do gaming addon work fine for xbox live ?
 
This Prioritisation feature really really works guys... Wow

My friend without it activated was getting 300ms in League of Legends constant. I showed him how to activate it and then his ping changed to 208ms.

He was shocked because he said it was the first time it was this low.... :)
 
Didn't exactly know where to ask this but here goes, do Telkom still offer a 25% discount on your ADSL line if you opt in for a 12 month contract?

Yes they do. Just dial 10210 then option to cancel your line for Telkom Options center... If they ask if you ever had the discount just say no.

This means Do premium only costs R699 - R190 = R509 p/m Unbelievable low price :)

The options centre is where you downgrade and cancel

Yes. Can confirm. Just applied for Do Premium 50Gb softcap for my 10 meg line - R699. Call took 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then made the mistake of selecting options centre to cancel my internet service, not my line - big mistake, they knew nothing of a 25% discount. Another 1 hour on the phone wasted. Called 10210 again, selected options centre > cancel my line option. Waited 45 minutes for an operator. She processed my request in 5 minutes. "25% discount Sir? Sure, no problem. Done. Here is your reference number. Have a nice day and thank you for calling Telkom"

Cheapest 50 Gb of data around! Thanks Cavedog!
 
@ranger

Probably not the right place, but are there any issues with @telkomsa.net receiving of emails?

Our work emails to @telkomsa.net clients don't seem to be reaching them, no issues with any other addresses?

Hoping you can comment.
 
Yes. just set up a new telkomsa email, sent test emails, I see them in the do messaging app, but they never reach the destination. Weird. Can send from Do Messaging though.

The TI mail servers were on a go-slow earlier this week taking up to an hour to deliver incoming mail (can't remember which day) but they're OK atm.
 
Got it. So all fine now it seems. Thanks, thought I'd cocked something up.

Indeed. Cheapest and best you can get. No better ISP if I may say so.... You can then use the large amount of money you save monthly to top up if you run short. Such a good good good deal. :)

They say it is only valid once per customer but I was offered it again after my previous term ended so going for 24months with 25% discount. Honestly it's Telkom all the way forget the rest. :)

Thanks for the reply Cavedog.

I bought it mainly for PSN so this is going to be pretty annoying for me, I don't mind downloading the games during Nightsurfer time but the 1-5 gig patches during the day are going to be a problem.

Please PM me your username, and how you bought it (on topup as 'prepaid' or by calling the call centre and subscribing to it as postpaid).

Decided to give them a try after my previous isp so far impressed streaming, nntp, steam and bf4 all good. Phoned this morning opt for the discount 10 min later here is your reference :) ( Thank you Cavedog ) With this savings I think the bolt on vox will be a good add on for weekends that is if I run out of data.

Hey bud, I am wanting to sign up for this.. Hating AH! I am on the phone now waiting for an agent...

Is it true that on this account you get UNCAPPED PSN downloads? As I only use internet for gaming through PSN.. this would be IDEAL for me if it is true..
 
Just spoke to Telkom, I am getting 25% off the Do Premium :) going to cancel my Afrihost account right now!!!
