LOL!!

Saw a VDSL Post and started to get me thinking what speeds i can get. So im off to the http://www2.telkom.co.za/checkadsl/checkADSL.htm site to check and enter in my land line number (keeping in mind i currently have a 4meg line that i am checking from) and this is the result i get.

Try an availability check for your area.
 
I wouldn't get my hopes up with the coverage checker either.

Claims my area is VDSL activated, but when you choose an address it says "2mbps max". If you call Telkom they tell you 4mbps, and yet they have me currently on 10mbps. Neighbouring area is marked as being part of an upcoming VDSL rollout, yet choosing individual addresses says "40mbps max".

Your best bet is probably to just call Telkom every few months.
