Telkom 40Mbps high speed broadband trial update

replacing copper wire with fibre would definitely make sense in high density areas and places where cable theft occurs often...

Its nice to know that Telkom is replacing the old units with nice new MSAN's, but they also need to upgrade their actual exchange capacity!
 
Its all good and well upgrading these exhanges, but there are still exchanges that can hardly stay at 4 meg, in popular areas! When will these be upgraded... Ive been waiting for 10 meg for ever!

Hmmm let's see, 5 to 10 years perhaps.

And I've been waiting for any form of an ADSL line since April!
 
Congratulations to the 0.0001% of South Africans who will actually benefit from this! :(

Currently it is only 0.0001% who benefits, but as the rollout continue, most ADSL users will benefit from these MSANs. For once, I am willing to skip the 10 mbps upgrade and rather wait for the MSAN to be installed near my house.

And the new softswitches?

Which level exchange are you referring to? Concentrator, DSSU, DPSU, etc?

As the name implies, a softswitch is software, so I'm not sure why you mention that.

I'd think an MSAN has it's place in any level exchange. Telephone/DSL/etc lines still need to be terminated, regardless of where in the network topology the exchange fits in.
 
Hate being in PMB where 4 meg is max and seeing 8/3.5 attenuation wish they would bring the MSAN here already so I can do the trial and/or get 10 megs.
 
What a farce, nobody will ever see these speeds and less than 1% have 10mbps.

I know absolutely nobody that have 10mbps, just like chicken teeth, basically just marketing fluff.

EDIT: (bum fluff)
 
He added that the company is also considering replacing old copper infrastructure with fibre in areas where it makes sense.

Whatever will the copper thieves do?
