What is DSL and how will it benefit me?

DSL access is based on Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), a new modem technology that turns an ordinary telephone line into a multi-tasking access medium. Telkom's DSL access service will provide you with always available flat rated access to the net.

Benefits of DSL

>> High speed flat rated access to the net
TelkomDSL offers you from 192 kbps to 1024 kbps download speeds depending which of the DSL products suits your needs best.
>> Continuous connectivity
DSL provides continuous connectivity - always available, always there when you need it. Always working for you.
>> Multi-tasking business tool
TelkomInternet powered by DSL turns an ordinary telephone line into a multi-tasking business tool - talk on the phone or send a fax without affecting your bandwidth whilst you're online.

Very very interesting.

Sorry Telkom you are clearly guilty of false advertising. Off to the ASA we email.

No they are not ... stop being nasty to the hard working managment at telkom, they are here for us. They are working hard to make broadband work .... Tomorrow.

Makes me think ... Maybe that's telkom's thing ... "Touch tomorrow" means that everything good will happen in this 'virtual' tomorrow ... but today we still crew you ...

Now thats a brilliant definition. Telkom DSL is not flat rated as the cost for a 30GB account does not coincide with 10*3GB accounts.
