Telkom announced an 18% cost reduction on its ADSL products, with a 38% price cuts on its DSL 384 access portion. These price cuts were welcomed by consumers, but how much of a saving will you see on your monthly ADSL bill? <\/font><\/p>\n

While the ADSL Access portion of the ADSL service saw reductions in price, Telkom announced an increase in standard analogue line rental. <\/font><\/p>\n

The current residential line rental charge of R 99-92 will be increased to R 111.90. The monthly rental on analogue lines for businesses will increase from R 132.75 to R 148.68.<\/font><\/p>\n

New prices and savings<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The biggest winners with the new ADSL prices from Telkom are the DSL 384 subscribers, who will enjoy a 38% reduction in access charges – from R 245-00 to R 152-00 – effective 1 August 2007. This constitutes a R 93-00 saving, but the R 11-98 increase in line rental cuts the saving down to an effective R 81-02.<\/font><\/p>\n

DSL 512 customers will pay R 326-00 for ADSL access in future, a saving of R 36-00 from the current R 362-00. Taking the new line rental into account DSL 512 subscribers will save only R 24-02 per month.<\/font><\/p>\n

DSL 4 Mbps users will save R 103-00 per month on ADSL access which will be reduced from R 516-00 to R 413-00. This is an effective saving of R 91-02 when taking the new line rental charges into account.<\/font><\/p>\n
