Telkom line costs

[lenroc]

I was hoping someone can help me with this, as I'm not getting any response from Telkom:twisted:

I want Telkom to put in a line at my home, for internet use only.

How much does it cost for the installation?

If I rent an adsl line from another ISP, what would my monthly cost to Telkom be?

up to 384k - R152
up to 1024 - R289
up to 10mb - R413

remember this EXCLUDES the compulsory voice line rental of something like R131, even if you dont need it you have no choice.

edit: the install cost is there as well.

my recommendation, they have a free 1mb line with uncapped offering for 3 months with free install, you just have to pay the voice line, also includes router.

after 3 months it is your choice

The installation is free, with self-install option. But so long you can sign-up for the 3 month uncapped, inclusive besides phone line rental.

So for a 4086mb line it would be R413 installation. and R131 for the line rental a month?

I don't want to use telkom as a ISP so i will be renting a line from a different ISP.
Don't want to deal with Telkom.

Telkom's website is so confusing I have no idea what to make of it

I dont have a telephone line at my flat, so they still need to put it in

imo i would rather have my line direct through telkom, i have heard people have issues when they get problems and then their ISP has to deal with telkom and they just keep shifting blame.

I am starting to wonder what the whole purpose of getting your ADSL portion through the ISP is for? and they all claim you then don't have to deal with Telkom. bull!!! used to deal with Telkom and got frustrated but at least it was me and them.

Now I tried to deal with ISP and well they also get the run around from Telkom but the ISP just does not have the urgency to be on their tail to get your line fixed so I am back now to contacting Telkom directly.

Subsidy

ISPs will subsidise the line...

And no a 4mb line will cost R413 + R138 per month (line rental for ADSL + line rental for voice line) then add data - R138 + call charges will be telkom portion
