Does anyone knoe who and when Telkom will be capping the local as well as how much local will they give you etc ???? :( :eek:
 
Rumours, all rumours and with such a badly written article as that ,claiming that local will be capped, I doubt it is Telkom's intent. I don't think they'd go that fat to shoot themselves in the foot. If that happens, I foresee another ICASA hearing.

Methinks you be underestimating the first article's accuracy...here it is again [thread=20894]directly quoted from the horse's mouth...[/thread]
 
Thanks ic. Much better written. Is there any hope for South Africa?
 
it amazes me how they can take such a brilliant service such as DSL and absolutely @#$ it up.. uncapped local is basically all that interested me when I signed up :mad:
 
They are the devil, there is no other way to say it, pure e-ville. They already invested money for realestate in hell.

what do you guys do locally that use it?

the only thing i use is this site all the rest is int

i mean soccer cnn daily star pics google everything is int

edonkey everything maybe i only surf int sites there must be alot of local content i dont know about
 
What is there that we can do? I mean these guys expect me to sign up for a service & then they change the service as they want? Thats rubbish. If I ran my business like that i would be bancrupt in a week.
So guys how can we stand together & give these guys the finger?

We cant take this lying down.
 
Sell me a local only uncapped account for R200pm - and I will take it

But - Telkom can not think this far..........................
 
I do get the reasoning behind the international cap (I do not agree with the price of the service however!) but having a cap on local access is absurd to say the least!!!!!! Local traffic on the jinx backbone is not hugely expensive (compared to SAT3 bandwidth).

Why the hell mess with the only good thing in the ADSL package!!!!!

Or browsing this forum either when we're capped! :confused: :(
 
Hate

retardedTelkom must hate www.myadsl.co.za so much that they force ADSl users off the local internet.

They are total retards.
They should make more laws to defend South Africas growth.
Telkom is retarding growth.
 
I don't understand how it's legal to sell you something at such a high price that becomes COMPLETELY USELESS after a short while.. There are CARS that cost less than ADSL per month dammit..
 
Omg

OMG I HAVE IT!!! THEY'RE DOING IT TO KEEP YOU SILENT!! :mad: I BET YOU IT IS!!! I mean MyBroadband has so many complaining ADSL users; they're the one that brought about the hearings that wasted time they could've been using to ****up their network some more, so they're stopping it from happening!!!!
 
If they're going to cap local I think they would at least lower the price of bandwidth enough to not have everyone start a war on their front steps. Close on 80,000 ADSL users? Thats pretty substantial, according to them, and the probably will not try and anger so many people at the same time by pulling the carpet from under them.

Doubtfully the price structure will be as it is now, it would be the height of stupidity and a marketing and PR faux pas of huge note.
