Telkom plans faster ADSL upload speeds

Wow Telkom, a step in the right direction, WELL DONE! I haven't noticed any change in speed though :( Failsauce
 
Great sorting out the uploads speeds for the 4096 users but how about they concentrate on adding some new products to the range, i.e. a 1024 or 2048 package and some relative pricing accordingly.

If anyone needs an upload check it's the 384 users which have a basically useless upload speed.
 
sigh...it doesn't matter if they increase the speeds if they still charge insane prices for bandwidth. Just means you will hit your cap that much faster and end up paying more money in Telkom.

In fact I think that will be my new philosophy in life. Assume everything, no matter how good it looks, is there to make Telkom more money.
 
Good news in my opinion. I assume that the upgraded speed will be free. While we want higher usage limits etc this is still a positive step, just like the upload speed upgrades some time ago.
 
A friend of mine has a 4Mb line with an upload speed of 512K...
Seems like he has been upgraded. Im still sitting at 4096/384 :(
 
Just increasing their ability to get a better grip on your wallet, nothing more at all.

TELKOM, along with Mr Mostert are deaf, dumb and blind. While increased speeds are certainly desirable, without increased data transfer allocations to go along with it it is only self serving.

While Mr Mostert is in awe of this new 'value added' offering I would wager the public will great it with significantly less enthusiasm.

There is no hope for TELKOM as they continue to ignore consumer needs in favor of short term results.
 
waiting now almost 3 months for my adsl line (moved house). Telkom = Useless.
 
Well. it is nice that they doing something but not enough.

They need to bring out there 8MB Lines. I heard that they were testing these.

Can anyone confirm if they still are or if it is not true.

Bandwidth Prices need to come down ASAP.

Cheers

honestly, a bump for 384 and 512 to higher speeds would be fantastic. Imagin 1meg, 2meg and 4meg lines, that would be the end of my speed complaining for atlease till 2010.

i really have no need for faster upload speeds when my downloading is like 100 times more that my upload.
 
Soo every other country is busy rolling out ADSL 2+ with speeds up to 24 Mb/s
And we're still fiddling around with ADSL...

now if only they would bump the cap, erm threshold a bit too would real nice
 
What we need is a SDSL solution for business. ADSL is ok for home use, but business need the upload speed as much as the download speed, especially with VPN use.
