Telkom has launched a new fibre trial, upgrading\u00a011,000 DSL customers across the country to a fibre line – at no additional cost.<\/p>\n
Described as a\u00a0“one of a kind trial”, DSL customers within Telkom\u2019s fibre footprint will be given the opportunity to upgrade their copper-based connectivity, to the more advanced fibre network.<\/p>\n
These customers will also have the opportunity to test Telkom\u2019s Boltspeed 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps fibre products, for free, for two months.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Telkom customers will also not be charged any installation free, as long as a like-for-like installation is possible.<\/p>\n
According to Telkom,\u00a0\u201cFibre is the next evolution of fixed line broadband connectivity and we want our customers to enjoy the best technology experience we can offer. ”<\/p>\n
