Here on the platteland(Colesberg) we only have ADSL access, no LTE/FIBRE/etc.
So we must use Telkom ADSL copper lines. My service provider is VOX.
So with Telkom going wireless before 28th February 2019, they can only offer me a voice service, but if I change my service provider to TELKOM, then they will let me have a modem, etc. and I can continue having broad band/internet.
VOX support was no help also, because they can't offer any other service to me without an ADSL line.
So TELKOM will basically send you a new cellphone, that is their wireless answer for home users.
So is Telkom playing their monopoly card and forcing customers to move to them? My feeling is they will lose a lot of customers, I am going to cancel my account with them, but I am still searching for an alternative as MTN/VODACOM is too expensive with their data...
Or am I missing something perhaps?
Any suggestions perhaps for an alternative to ADSL?

Oh, and BTW TELKOM doesn't have a solution for businesses yet that are using ADSL still, how they will be affected!
Its actually a big joke!
