Towards the end of last year Telkom launched the ‘free local bandwidth’ service as part of a trial in which users were given access to free, unlimited local bandwidth. <\/p>\n
In the wake of their successful trial, Telkom Internet launched their free local bandwidth promotion in February, providing their AllAccess ADSL subscribers with free local bandwidth at no extra charge.<\/p>\n
During the promotional period Telkom Internet AllAccess 1 GB subscribers receive 10 Gig free local only bandwidth while 2 GB AllAccess users receive 20 GB free local bandwidth and 3 GB AllAccess subscribers get 30 GB of free local usage.<\/p>\n
Telkom said that the feedback regarding this promotional service has thus far been positive and that many of their customers have been using the promotional free local bandwidth.<\/p>\n
Uncertainty existed as to whether Telkom Internet subscribers, who surpassed their allocated local bandwidth, would be charged for the extra local usage. <\/p>\n
Telkom confirmed that it has now started to bill customers who exceed their allocated local usage.<\/p>\n
“Customers have been billed accordingly when their local bandwidth usage exceeded the package allocation,” said Nabintu Petsana, Telkom’s Acting Group Executive for Corporate Communication.<\/p>\n
