20Mbps ADSL in the pipeline

FFS the growing demand is for 384 and 512 to be upgraded! They're not even clueless, this is deliberate.
 
How the heck will they know whether there is demand for FTTX when there isn't an option to apply for it?
 
Didn't we already see this announcement a few weeks back? :confused:

Moholi however said that ADSL and broadband remains a priority for Telkom, and confirmed that the company is looking at boosting ADSL speeds to 20Mbps in areas where it makes sense.

20Mbps ADSL speeds requires short local loop lengths, high quality copper infrastructure and adequate backhaul capacity. This, Moholi explained, is done through the company’s continued network renewal and upgrade program.

It is understood that these upgrades will mainly be focused on areas where it makes financial sense – hence South Africa’s major cities.
 
They don't even have 10mbps in all areas yet but wanna throw out 20mbps:twisted:
 
doesn't make sense ... they seem to be struggling to roll out the 10mbps upgrades and they already looking at 20mb ? they need to focus on getting the 10mb to all users and make sure its consistant before even thinking about upgrading to 20mb
 
Telkom is one big joke IMO.
they come out with a statement that their pricing is competitive, and there are no plans for uncapped cause demand is not high enough...and now they want to bring 20mbps!!!
Most people cant even get a stable 4mbps connection and very few can even get a full 10mbps connection, furthermore what would be point of a 20mbps if the caps don't change substantially!
 
Im still waiting for my exchange at home to be upgraded.....as it only supports 512....WTF!!!
 
This guy is a joke, first he tells us their is no need for uncapped as there is no need for more bandwidth and now to satisfy the need for more bandwidth they want to bring faster adsl.
 
I wonder if there's a symbolic side to Telkom's line speed offerings - it's like the rich (fast) get richer (faster) and the poor (slow) get poorer or stay the same.
 
How 'bout upgrading 384 and 512? That would be nice.
 
bugger the 20mbps. I want my shyte 384k line speed upped to at least a 1mb line, consider what Im bloody paying for it. what a joke :(
