Telkom<\/a> unveiled its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2012, revealing that the number of Internet all access subscribers declined by 7.3% over the last year.<\/p>\n

According to Telkom\u2019s interim results, the company currently has 516,423 Telkom Internet ADSL, ISDN, WiMAX and dial-up subscribers – down from 556,886 a year ago.<\/p>\n

This decline comes despite the continued growth of ADSL lines, which is a sign of increased competition from service providers like MWEB<\/a>, Web Africa<\/a>, Afrihost<\/a>, Vox Telecom<\/a>, Internet Solutions<\/a> and Cybersmart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Telkom Internet\u2019s competitors have been driving down ADSL prices for many years, and the fact that Telkom Internet was a latecomer in the uncapped ADSL market may have been one of the reasons for its declining numbers.<\/p>\n
