Cheap ADSL
Cheap ADSL is now available from two of South Africa’s largest ISP.
The ISP -Internet Service Providers we are referring to is MWEB and Atlantic.
Atlantic is a franchise, and Vox Telecom being the holding company which is currently listed on the ALTX of the JSE.
MWEB offers the consumer data only and all inclusive packages while Atlantic only offers you the all inclusive package over a 12 month period.
MWEB provides the consumer with an option of buying their network locked ADSL router while Atlantic does not offer the consumer an option of a router. The consumer will have to source their own routers or use an existing adsl router should they decide to take up the Uncapped ADSL offer with Atlantic.
Consumers must please remember that to apply for any adsl option the requirements are that you have a fully paid and activated Telkom line. The consumer must apply for the ADSL port with Telkom and then once you have the order number of your activated ADSL port, please call us allowing us to activate your ADSL account as Telkom normally has a minimum time frame of 7 days and longer just to activate the adsl port in your area.
Should you not have a Fully paid Telkom line but currently on a waya-waya or pre-paid option then just speak to us about iBurst as a broadband connection. It works just as good as fixed line ADSL.

Telkom ADSL

Telkom ADSL
Telkom considering DSL384, DSL512 speed upgrades
4 Mbps ADSL subscribers likely to be upgraded free of charge to 10 Mbps; 384 Kbps and 512 Kbps ADSL upgrades also possible
Over the last few months Telkom has been trialing their new 8 Mbps ADSL service – which included 10 Mbps and 12 Mbps tests – and according to unconfirmed feedback the pilot was a great success.
Speculation suggests that Telkom will start upgrading 4 Mbps ADSL subscribers to 10 Mbps before the 2010 World Cup, and that Telkom plans to officially launch their “up to 10Mbps” broadband campaign in June.
Telkom recently informed some of its staff members that they will start seeing ADSL synchronization rates of 10 Mbps on certain accounts despite the fact that these speeds have not been implemented yet. This gives a strong indication that Telkom has indeed decided to upgrade its ‘fastest’ ADSL subscribers to 10 Mbps instead of 8 Mbps as previously stated.
While Telkom’s “Fastest DSL” subscribers stand to benefit from the planned speed upgrades, the company has not said anything about its DSL384 (Fast) and DSL512 (Faster) subscribers yet.
One source close to Telkom said that the company is looking into the feasibility of upgrading their DSL384 and DSL512 subscribers, but Telkom would not confirm or deny this speculation.
Telkom did however say that it is assessing the results of its ADSL trials which were recently conducted, and that the assessment of the results will determine whether the company will upgrade its lower speed ADSL subscribers.
