UPDATE: 12-06-13

So you can follow some interesting developments wrt Telkom adding 20MB profiles if you are in an area with an IMAX.

More on this thread. Many thanks to everyone contributing info. Superspeed, Metalspawn and many others.

VDSL available after Telkom downtime thread.

Still unofficial but i suspect a press release will come about when it does :p.

UPDATE:03-03-13

So ranger will be off the grid till month end however he left some really good info for anyone who has any problems.

So, for any of the issues I have been looking at for users here, please:
1)Send an email to [email protected]. You should receive an auto-reply with a ticket number. Please include your internet username, the telephone number of the ADSL line you are using, and sufficient technical detail (the better the quality of the information, the better your chances of a quick resolution), e.g. traceroute, URL of a speedtest result indicating the problem etc.
2)If you don't have a resolution within 2 business days, or if it is really urgent, include the ticket number from (1) in a message to @TelkomZA on twitter or TelkomZA on Facebook

Original thread here :)

UPDATE: 25-01-2013

Telkom slashes uncapped ADSL prices

Telkom announced today (24 January 2013) that it will reduce its consumer uncapped ADSL products by up to 40% and will cut the price of its business uncapped products by up to 35%.

This price cut follows the recent announcement from Telkom that its capped customers who reach their internet cap will no longer be limited to local data. In future they will now also be able to access international sites – albeit at a slower speed.

Read the rest of the story - right here

pffft, might be killing yourself once the honeymood period is over and shaper draconious kicks in. We've yet to see how they are going to limit and stop "abuse" or what they will do if you download constantly 24/7 using something like ssl/vpn/https

Wait is telkom offering 10 meg uncapped for 700 smackers?

Nope, its a 10meg line. Its comes with a 1meg uncapped service. For the rest to be used you need prepaid bandwidth from somewhere else

I'm signing up for the 1Mb uncapped (not the BF3 promo) but only from 1 November - must wait 30 days for my Afrihost account to be cancelled.
 
Anyone got the link to the sign up ? (not the BF Promo)
 
Try phoning as i believe the site has yet to be updated and don't know if signup will be available :/.
 
I intend moving from axxess 1Mb uncapped to the Telkom equivalent for after hours torrents in Nov but I'll keep an eye on this thread to check that the wheels don't fall off.

I haven't had any problems with my axxess account (it meets my expectations) but I expect superior performance from Telkom albeit at R73 more month. Axxess won't lose me altogether though as I'll still buy some Axxess lite for backup/testing each month.
 
Thanks MickZA, look forward for feedback.

For now though the Telkom site has been updated but abit broken too lol

Goto http://www.telkomsa.net > Our products > Access Services > Uncapped.

They should really do a overhaul on their site :(. Bastards :p

Benefits :

Always on Internet access
No cap however subject to Telkom Internet Acceptable Use Policy
 Flat monthly fee
Surf the internet while making phone calls
Connect multiple devices to the internet simultaneous

See bold :)
 
The thing is though do you really get full speed on mweb or any other uncapped ISP before 10pm? So telkom is doing the correct thing by stating it up front.
