Sign up with GoogleIt's sort of a reward for existing customers that they get a speed upgrade. It's like what Vox has done with their promo data packages. People are paying R 164 for more than 300GB data. It's not just those on the promo deals. People who had 4Mbps do uncapped will be paying R 599 for 8 or 10Mbps as well.

An article on this would really answer some of the questions.
If we should get the upgrade, but our exchange can only do 4M, do we get automatically updated at a later stage?
If I'm not mistaken the upgrades only apply to 1mb-2mb ,2mb-4mb and 8mb-10mb lines. 4mb was never mentioned. If you run a 4mb line, ASSIA (telkoms piece of K@K line monitoring system will bump you up 5120 but with atleast 30ms added to your pre-ASSIA line speed/latancy. Got mine removed after nearly 5 months of non stop issues...Most exchanges now run on MSAN: https://ssl-1.ipact.telkom-ipnet.co.za/pubcgi/internal/NBView.pl click on DSLAM lookup and enter your number there, it will tel you what you are connected to.

"Automatic upgrades
Telkom added that from 31 August, existing uncapped customers will automatically be upgraded to the new unlimited packages.
“Customers will be upgraded from 2Mbps to 4Mbps and from 4Mbps to 8Mbps or 10Mbps respectively,” said Telkom. "
As mentioned by the article posted in the broadband section, here, at MyBroadband.

can anyone tell me more info about this
https://ssl-1.ipact.telkom-ipnet.co.za/pubcgi/internal/NBProgress.pl?pass=1&NNRef=NN0067455
it relates to our area exchange
under the box labelled "Cause" it says
"Next Generation Network Evolution (MSAN)"
Safe to say our exchange is being upgraded?

Yes, you're getting a MSAN.
Maybe log into your modem and take a screenshot if your stats now and one tomorrow night and compare.
Nope. 2 to 4, 4 to 8 or 10 and 8 to 10. That's it.

No real change in my stats to be honest. Am I supposed to see an immediate change after the migration or will that only happen after the cutover?

When I was upgraded to an MSAN the internet was off for a couple of hours and when it came back my stats were amazing.
I always synced at around 7Mbps on a 10Mbps line, I now have 40Mbps.
