Just had to share. Phoned 10217 to upgrade my business line up to 4096. The woman was very efficient, everything done within 5 minutes. She gave me a reference nr, and said 48hrs to 7 working days for it to be activated. I said that's fine.

Then asked her to active identicall on my line. While I was holding on, I saw my MSN drop. Thought WTF, and logged into router. Saw my line is now syncing at 4096, ADSL up, and I'm surfing at 8x the speed compared to 15 minutes ago!
 
Telkom sales are ALWAYS extremely efficient.
Once they have your money however, it's a different story altogether.
 
Hi bees!

I had the same situation... I called Telkom to upgrade from 512Kb to 4096Kb, and in the same day, my line was upgraded to 4096Kb!! I was very impressed to say the least.

However, I have noticed that my ADSL line now seems be more erratic. It seems to drop and re-connect more often now, and all my MSN friends are complaining that I am always signing-in, out, in out, etc.

The problem is not so often, but when it does occur it can be irratating - so I was wondering, what do you people think I should do?

Is it a line problem, or a hardware problem (i.e. my Telkom Mega 105WR ADSL modem)?
 
I upgraded to 4096 a week ago and within 8 hours connected and getting about 3400 average. I know some peeps who are getting just over 1000kb/s but they are a long way from whatever you have to be a long way from. I am close to Rosebank so I amsure that helps.

I must admit, I have never had a problem with Telkom....touch wood x 5
