Telkom strikes broadband deal with MultiChoice
Telkom and MultiChoice have entered into an exclusive six-month promotion which sees Telkom internet broadband being bundled with the new IP-connected DSTV Explora decoder.
It follows an initial collaboration between Telkom and DStv in October, through the media firm’s in-home entertainment movie rental service BoxOffice.
“The internet functionality enables customers to access more content, including the latest TV series and movies, and to set recordings on the Explora decoder remotely. Customers will need to link their DSTV Explora to their existing internet router, either by Ethernet cable or using a Wi-Fi connection,” Telkom said in a statement on Monday (17 November).
Telkom said that bundled deals will be available from 23 November 2014. “Existing Telkom Internet customers who upgrade their ADSL to 10Mbps or faster will get a free DSTV Explora on a 24-month contract,” it said.
New-to-franchise Telkom Internet customers will get a free DSTV Explora when buying 10Mbps or faster ADSL on a 24-month contract.
“Customers will benefit from faster, high-speed Telkom broadband and more fixed line data. Furthermore, the free DStv Explora and Wi-Fi connector will allow customers access to the Enhanced DStv catch-up catalogue and additional functionality (e.g., remote recording),” Telkom said.
Telkom originally launched a 2-4-1 Movie Mondays promotion during the month of October, giving DStv BoxOffice subscribers the opportunity to rent two BoxOffice movies for the price of one.
Also on Monday, during its interim results presentation, Telkom said it will launch a residential wholesale open access fibre broadband product on 1 December 2014.
The company added that the first fibres will be lit and Telkom will have a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) presence in 23 suburbs by the time it launches.
