Telkom cuts uncapped DSL prices

Telkom has announced that it will reduce the prices of its uncapped packages.

 

[Zyzzyva]

Its 20Mbps account will now cost R999 per month, the 40Mbps uncapped service was cut to R14,39 per month, and 100Mbps to R21,49.

Now that's cheap.

On a side note, as a 4Mbps uncapped user this news was rather dissapointing.

I feel your pain. Punish the people who either cannot afford VDSL, or whose infrastructure doesn't support it.

This is good news considering Telkom can only provide 10mbps in my area.

Lets see 10Mbps Home Uncapped was R574,00, now R 574,00 - wow that's a reduction of a whole R0.00

Would love to move from 4 - 10 Mbps but the price jump is too huge. Why are they keeping such a divide between 4Mbps and anything faster? I think the world average speed is now standing at around 25Mbps but here in SA we're mostly on 4Mbps lines with an average speed of 3.5Mbps. It just doesn't look like faster Internet is ever going to be affordable in SA.

No love for 2, 4 and 10Mbps

[MickeyD]

On which speed?

 

[milomak]

On which speed?

20Mbps

 

[MickeyD]

20Mbps

On daytime usage you should get around 600GB and then in night surfer hours you'll get plenty... almost at full taps from 00h00-07h00 as long as your usage power bar is green or orange (1TB plus).

No. Not sure why everyone wants a free upgrade. If they upgrade lines free of charge, it will be a big disappointment, considering a lot of us can't go any faster then we are going already.

Speed upgrades are essentially price cuts for those who choose to stay on the lower speeds.

Speed upgrades are essentially price cuts for those who choose to stay on the lower speeds.

And essentially a disappointment for those who cannot get faster speeds.

And essentially a disappointment for those who cannot get faster speeds.

So you'd rather pay more and not be disappointed?

For the few who can get VDSL ok
