Telkom upgrade?

[Stickfigure]

Ok I don't know if this thread has been created yet, but does anyone know when Telkom are going to be doing their adsl upgrade? What happened to...

"In March the company’s CEO Reuben September said that Telkom is planning to ‘own the client’s home’ through its home gateway where ADSL plays a pivotal role.

The company plans to grow its ADSL subscriber base to 637 000 in the 2008/9 financial year and to 773 000 in the 2009/10 financial year.

* Prices will drop between 10% - 18%
* 1 meg (4meg) will be increased to max. 8 meg
* 512 will be increased to 1 meg
* 384 will be increased to 512
* 8 meg max will have upload speed of 1 meg
* 1 meg max will have ulpload speed of 512
* 512 max will have upload speed of 384


Then as far as TelkomSA Do Packages goes (ISP):

* Do Broadband 1 = 512 line speed, 10 gig international, 30 gig local (Not blended), unshaped from 18h00 to 8h00
* Do Broadband 2 = 1 meg line max, 15 gig international, 45 gig local (Not blended, unshaped from 18h00 to 8h00
* Do Broadband 3 = 8 meg line max, 20 gig international , 60 gig local (Not blended), unshaped from 18h00 to 8h00

(Do Packages are home dsl users, business dsl will be unshaped between 8h00 and 18h00)


Will be implemented on 1st September. "

22 October and still no word. Typical Telkom :/

Wasn't this confirmed as BS?

Just goes to show how far out of the loop I am. I would've thought with Neotel popping up all over the place, Telkom would've gone ahead with this to keep their customers.

This loop of yours.... does it start somewhere in the beginning of the year?

RAS!

"Cables were stolen" is probably one big enough factor that happened. Growing ADSL subscriber base isn't very easy with that in mind...

Feo is right, pure BS
