You have been here since 2008, have 669 posts to your name - and still don't read ??
Counting the threads about this same question, probably mounts up to +/- your post count my friend.
It happens when it happens, if it happens, maybe.

I was hoping that someone might have *new* information.

Most people are hoping the speed upgrades will be announced on 21 June.

Update
OK, the news on the ground is this....
Everything is in place, installed and ready to be switched on. But they are waiting on the final approval from top brass. Systems and network is ready. Local bandwidth is ready, International is ready, Telkom have even bought some Seacom bandwidth.
The company is waiting on their CEO to make the announcement, but as you know Reuben September is not the fastest or most clued up guy in South African Telecomms. Why he is dawdling, nobody knows. Maybe he is just too busy fighting the corruption charges. I guess a lot of the staff are very unhappy with him and wish that he would just be fired already.
Hopefully he will be given his pink slip pretty soon and the company can then get on with it! There was actually a meeting planned for beginning of this month, which was once again canceled.
Watch this space!

Ah, a response that is much more like the type of response I am used to seeing on this forum. Thanks alot Gary.
PS: I bookmarked this thread so that I can ask my questions about the speed upgrades here. Anthropoid can then yell at me for reviving old threads.

Wish we would see if our lines will support it.
There is a nice thread about attenuation and noise margins that can tell you if your line can do it.

Then there is a website that can roughly calculate what speeds you should be able to achieve. Can't remember now

Copper based lines can support up to 24mbps (could be wrong) so its not our lines but the dslams.
The first step is to check if you connecting using ADSL2

Yeah - set my router to ADSL2+ now and it works.
I managed to find my attenuation and noise margins but I don't see in that thread where they say whether your line will handle 8MB? Does the attenuation and noise margins have to be in a certain range?
