Telkom Speed upgrades

[AthenianOwl]

I don't plan to upgrade my Openweb account to 4Mbps Gold until next year so whether my line gets upgraded to 4Mbps or not this week is now meaningless since it makes a small difference in terms of speed.

Not sure if this has been answered before but does one have to reboot the router for the changes to reflect?

Managed to get my 2meg line profile changed to 4meg by calling Telkom; consultant was not willing to do it as she said the process is automated; I spoke really nicely to her and asked in a very pleasant manner; she reset my profile from 2meg to 4med; yay now synching at 4 meg.

Trick is to really ask nicely and be persistent.

sigh, another lucky person

 

[creeper]

Aaarrgghhh. Didn't get the upgrade today.

Got one of my friends upgraded from 2meg to 4meg as well today.

Just need to call and ask.

Nope, it happens automatically. .. or u can try calling telkom and ask them to upgrade your account if your lines been upgraded already.

Mine still shows 2048 downstream line rate, so I'm assuming it hasn't happened...

I politely asked for my line to be upgraded to 4mb and the guy was more than happy to do it. Very good service

Adsl check shows my account as 4mb but still 2mb on the router & the modem has been reset a few times today.

 

[Cosmic_Nomad]

Still waiting for the line to be upgraded.

My area is currently under consideration for the MSAN roll out, they started digging holes and put in manholes, but I hear that the area will only be upgraded next year.

 

[mercurial]

Hehe. Manholes.

call telkom ask them to see if you have been upgraded if they yes then ask them to move you to new profile

I guess my 2Mb/s is now 4Mb/s by looking at my latest speedtest result

I remain underwhelmed

18 - 23 Nov...so might take time still.

Sorry for sounding idiotic now, but what happens if you on MWEB 1MB data, etc? I checked that ADSL checker and it said MAX Speed on exchange is like 1MB...... Does that mean I won't get upgraded? Or how does this whole thing work?
