I hope when I return home on Monday evening that the switch has been flipped on my exchange.
I dreamed of the day when I can download an MP3 in 5 seconds and a movie in 10 minutes.

Lets see..
Only connections where Metro Ethernet is and ADSL2+ equipment is used.
So...for those of us still on ADSL1, we will probably not see 10Mbps in years. Why would they want to upgrade their old ADSL1 exchanges, spending millions in doing so. Would they really when they have some financial problems ?
I think not.
So...if you're not one of the "lucky few", don't bet on getting anything higher than 4Mbps for years to come.

"Telkom’s 4 Mbps ADSL subscribers have been waiting for another speed upgrade since September 2006 when the company’s DSL 1024 subscribers were bumped up to 4 Mbps free of charge".
Are any of the 384kbps ADSL lines going to be "bumped up" free of charge too? If so, to what speed? If not, why not? We have also been waiting for many years for a line speed increase.

You need to access your router's admin area, usually via web browser.
Scratch around in there, you will find it.

I think it's totally absurd that 4 meg is getting a free upgrade, which is already ten times faster than the 384, which is a steaming pile of excrement, relative to the term boadband.
But whatever, it just enrages me, all this greed. I don't care.

I love my uncapped too much
Will have to either fork out much more for 8-10mb uncapped, remain on 4mb uncapped while on 10mb line, or hope that the 512k lines get upgraded to 1-4mb.
