Uncapped Telkom LTE for R899

genetic said:
It's not sneaky. It's uncapped. There is no advertising trickery.

They advertise that it's a throttled connection, and give you the throttle threshold. How hard is that to grasp? Telkom are not hiding their threshold limits, so why is it sneaky? You know what you are going to get.

The lack of comprehension in this thread is quite astonishing.

No one here said it was not uncapped. If you are happy with a 2mbps throttled speed, well I'm happy for you.

We are merely saying that this is a kak deal.

Fully uncapped at 2mbs is like 2005 speeds. Max 10mbs speed is also way too low measured at today's standards. Currently have Fixed Wireless broadband @20mbs fully uncapped, slight throttling down to 15mbs or so. Fibre currently installed in my area, soon fully uncapped at 100mbs up to 300GB, after that 50mbs. :)))

Uncapped in S.A is a different concept to what the rest of the world's used to.

Yeah well my 100 gig fat pipe account for R80 is also uncapped. I can use as much as it want after hours. The point here is why throttle LTE to 2mbps to make it uncapped.

People confusing caps with throttling... Including YOU!

Telkom is offering an uncapped service at a throttled speed. No rocket science required.

Thus false advertising. If you advertise as uncapped it should also be unthrottled otherwise the uncapped means nothing.

The you can sell an uncapped product throttled to 1kbps. It simply jokes with what a reasonable person expect uncapped to mean.

1. you are comparing two very different mediums expecting pricing to be the same, when in reality they shouldn't be compared. ADSL/Fibre is not LTE. They don't even work on the same business models.
2. Proof that Telkoms product can't?

1. I agree. LTE is getting cheaper not more expensive. They missed the boat on this one.
2. See their own rules.

I'm not Jesus. Besides that, everyone said that a THROTTLED speed based on usage cannot be seen as an uncapped product. Very different to saying it is in fact uncapped at a snail pace.

But I don't want to argue that anymore .. you can if you wish.

The product is not a good one for the average Joe that has alternatives.

Why should uncapped mean unthrottled? They're two different words with two different meanings altogether. It's a terrible deal for the price IMO.

Any deal with a 24 month contract is terrible, one can call this the golden rule of broadband.

So the big deal is that Telkom uncapped is now throttled, and has gone up R100 a month.
I think i'll stick to RAIN

Rain has a better deal no doubt, but there is the issue of 6PM to 11PM with Rain, which I guess puts us in the 100GB Cell C deal space, which would make it much better value than the telkom deal overall.

I wish my MTN black Friday 2016 deal was closer to 48 months than 24 months. Heck, I might even have signed up for 60 months.
