Telkom is the Fastest DSL service

[geniosity]

Hi,

Does iBurst count as a DSL service? Because I saw an ad for Telkom's 1024 ADSL service, saying that they're the fastest in SA. Just wanting to know what kind of service iBurst is.

Thanks.

DSL = Digital Subscriber Line = Physical Land Line. (Copper or Fibre).
And no, its not the fastest DSL service. There are some private DSL services running on varsity campuses that use 14mb/s DSL...

Telkom words their ads in a sly way, I think they said that the 1Mbps was the fastest ADSL available.. which it is, cos they're the only ones providing it.

I'm not sure. I'll have to see the ad again, but i could swear it said fastest DSL, and then showed another screen saying "1024 ADSL"...

Oh well, that's them for you.

1024kbps ADSL is considered slow in other countries.
