Telkom has unveiled a new set of uncapped Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) products in a press statement issued today (2 August 2013), which it said is aimed at the South African small business market.<\/p>\n

It has renamed its existing Business Uncapped offerings to Premium Uncapped, with the Premium Uncapped bundles retaining the TBiz brand. The new lower-cost DSL products will now trade under the “Business Uncapped” name.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest product inclusion is the middle-of-the-range offering in Telkom Business\u2019s broadband portfolio suitable for customers seeking a product that resides between the Business SoftCapped and Premium Uncapped offers,\u201d Telkom said.<\/p>\n

These new Business Uncapped services will have traffic prioritised during business hours and then shaped in the evenings, whereas traffic on Premium Uncapped accounts is never de-prioritised, Telkom explained.<\/p>\n

Telkom said that with its existing SoftCapped offering customers can still access the Internet for browsing local and international websites even after they reach their usage limit. Services such as streaming and peer-to-peer are significantly restricted on SoftCapped products, Telkom said.<\/p>\n

Premium Uncapped offers customers multiple concurrent users and high performance with prioritisation over the network at any time of the day. Telkom said that it also includes up to 40Mbps access speeds in areas where Telkom has deployed MSANs.<\/p>\n

*Update:\u00a0<\/strong>Telkom has clarified that they have not reduced the pricing of their existing Business Uncapped packages, but have instead renamed them “Premium Uncapped”. New packages bearing the “Business Uncapped” name have been introduced at a lower price, but will be de-prioritised in the evening outside business hours. Premium Uncapped accounts will continue to enjoy priority throughout the day. The headline and first few paragraphs of the article have been amended to reflect this.<\/p>\n
