Telkom launches massive free ADSL-to-fibre upgrade trial
Telkom has launched a new fibre trial, upgrading 11,000 DSL customers across the country to a fibre line – at no additional cost.
Described as a “one of a kind trial”, DSL customers within Telkom’s fibre footprint will be given the opportunity to upgrade their copper-based connectivity, to the more advanced fibre network.
These customers will also have the opportunity to test Telkom’s Boltspeed 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps fibre products, for free, for two months.
Telkom is offering these DSL customers the option to migrate from their copper-based DSL service, to an equivalent fibre-based service, in a phased approach. The trial offer starts on 2 February 2016.
This offers means that DSL customers, who are currently on 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps and 8 Mbps DSL products can now, for no extra charge, move across to the more stable and reliable fibre network.
During the two months trial, they also are able to test the 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps line options and can then make a call at the end of the two months, which package they choose to adopt.
Telkom customers will also not be charged any installation free, as long as a like-for-like installation is possible.
According to Telkom, “Fibre is the next evolution of fixed line broadband connectivity and we want our customers to enjoy the best technology experience we can offer. ”
