5GB big deal :(
Will this apply to "Do3" as well?
Does this mean we will now get 50GB local after cap?

Wonder how this this affect other ISP SAIX packages?

I wonder what openweb's pre-seacom product is going to be?

Perhaps they can split a 4 meg uncapped after hours account into 4 and sell them for R399.

I find it horribly laughable you can get a 900 gig account for R999-R1299 but not something around R500.
 
^^ yip

do3="4096"+5gig
5gig should then give you 50 local.

i'm sorry..this is PATHETIC compared to the last 4 positive reductions/improvements.
 
ok, so on 2Gig I used to get near 3Gig (Soft cap) So is this Soft cap also increased?
 
this is vomit inducing to say the least

just goes to show how confident they really are

take that optimists
 
“For the past few years we have been aligning our prices to be more competitive and in line with international standards, related costs as well as business and economic considerations

Bwaa haa haa haa !!! U SUCK !!!! International standards nogal , u dont even come close to African Standards !! So how much local cap will I get with my new 5GB account ? Suppose to be 10 Gb local per 1 gb International. Newshost here I come blindfolded !! LOL

We will just have to wait and see, I got my Do3 on friday and downloaded 5.5 gigs before they turned off my international browsing, so in "theory" if they are still less than strict in capping you may get higher than the five they promise.
 
“For the past few years we have been aligning our prices to be more competitive and in line with international standards, related costs as well as business and economic considerations. Having complied with regulatory prescriptions, Telkom is confident that our proposed price changes will be approved by ICASA,” said Telkom’s Group Executive for National Sales and Marketing Operations, Godfrey Ntoele.

Is that meant to be a joke?
How the heck can they call themselves competitive according to international standards? :erm:
A simple glance at google will see that they are not even close! :mad:
Bleddy hell, these people really think we're a bunch of sods.

Also the pricing is nothing to rave about - A GB here and 2GB there. :confused: :sick:

Still having to cough up money for the POTS line.
Where is your competitive nature there Telkom?
Do you still not have the ability to differentiate between the two?

A 1.7% increase means a helluva lot across all of their consumer base.
But I suppose they have to.
Seeing that they're slowly being killed off.
The sale of their Vodacom stake, the failed Telkom Media attempt, the exploration into 3G which is now costing a hefty amount coupled with people becoming educated and leaving them for other Internet Service Providers.

Yes, they need to keep their stakeholders - OUR GOVERMENT - happy and continue ripping us off.

Once again - thanks for the annual disappointment Telkom ;)
You're still keeping it real :rolleyes:

PS! I've decided to no longer substitute the word "Telkom" with "Telscum" as I want everyone that Googles the word "Telkom" to be redirected to this site so they can hopefully have their eyes opened and see what's been going on here for the last 30 years in this country.
 
Yeah.

Also hope I get 50gigs local with my Do3.

Wonder if Telkom will now give me 7.5gigs with the base cap being 5gigs.

Wait, wtf am I talking about :rolleyes:
 
I really wont be surprised if this is just an underhand tactic to now hardcap international at 5GB . But guess one will have to wait and see , thank goodness for axxess uncapped after hours .
 
I think thats why everyone has been able to use up to what they been using so far, either a test for telkom or we did'nt realize that they allready changed it and thats how its gonna be,

+1 :mad:
I smell a rat = softcaps disappearing into the ether!

Total and Utter BS!!! :mad: Complete lies!

Telkom are about as competitive as a 380 pound obese fatty running the 100 meter in the Olympics!!!
 
“For the past few years we have been aligning our prices to be more competitive and in line with international standards, related costs as well as business and economic considerations"

Really tired of local corporates selectively using International Standards only when it suites the situation:mad:
This reference is just a hook without bait though - they are on another planet. SAPS narcotics should pay them a visit as they are either high on something or have a significant lack of education:sick:
