Typically, Telkom doesn't pitch for installation

I have a problem with my existing R87 p/m line where I get a 'crossed line'. I seldom use the telkom line - (its only there for the alarm). Will this cause a problem when the techie installs ADSL?

Good luck.

Oh crap. I'm in Boksburg.

But, I CAN say that I'm now posting this via my ADSL connection(!). Woohoo.

Phew! That's good news, but I've decided to wait until we hear what Telscum is doing in November before I order my line. I've lived without ADSL for this long I can wait another couple of months.

Having had DSL384 installed, here's my speed (according to Telkom's tester):

Below is the data used to calculate your download speed:

    * Download time: 9.391 seconds
    * Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
    * Estimated line speed: 434.5 (kilobits/second)
    * Estimated line speed: 53.2 (kiloBytes/second)

* I should mention that I'm about a block away from the exchange.

Most likely not - however (!) I have only gotten really bad crossed lines SINCE ADSL was installed - go figure. To date, I have reported the fault 5 or 6 times - each time it is fixed, it reappears after a few weeks.

Most likely, every time they fix mine,they break my neighbours, and the whole thing moves in a cycle!

Yes, I have had the same thing. And the funny thing is that it is always crossed with the same people. I have heard all about some lady's son in my neighboured who is doing to well in university.
