Telkom announces massive ADSL and voice shake up
Telkom has announced a number of big changes to its fixed line offerings, including new deals, price decreases as well as free line upgrades.
Speaking at a special fixed-line event on Tuesday, Telkom said over the next 30 days it would double the speed of some lower-end DSL plans and offer a number of new “Unlimited Home” deals.
Called Telkom Unlimited Home, the new packages include Telkom line rental – phone line and DSL – and up to 3GB of mobile data on the Telkom mobile network.
“We have been listening to our customers very closely and working very hard to understand their needs,” said Telkom Consumer CEO Attila Vitai.
These new deals will include unlimited on-network calls, and “unlimited data” with a high-bandwidth fair-usage policy of up to 6TB a month. Data downloaded between midnight and 07:00 every day does not count towards the fair usage policy.
Existing Telkom uncapped clients, whether on Do bundles or otherwise, will also automatically be upgraded to the new Unlimited Home plans at higher speeds, the company said.
Customers on the current 2Mbit/s uncapped package can now expect 4Mbit/s, those on 4Mbit/s can now expect 8Mbit/s, and those on 8Mbit/s can now expect 10Mbit/s line speeds.
The new deals are permanent and are not promotional, Vitai said.
