Telkom<\/a> has confirmed its planned March launch areas of its 20Mbps and 40Mbps VDSL<\/a> service for businesses.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the group said that the commercial launch of its 20Mbps and 40Mbps VDSL products in March 2013 will also include special packages aimed at businesses.<\/p>\n

VDSL business products, sold through Telkom Business, will include both capped and uncapped packages – though details will be announced closer to the commercial launch, Telkom said.<\/p>\n

On Monday (6 January 2012) it was revealed that Telkom Wholesale is planning to launch its DSL Up to 20Mbps and DSL Up to 40Mbps on 4 March 2013 – with retail prices emerging of around R480 for a 20Mbps connection and R650 for a 40Mbps service.<\/p>\n

The network rollout will initially be in the same regions as the VDSL pilot areas, Telkom said, namely around the 52 upgraded street distribution cabinets.<\/p>\n

This is the same for consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n

“Broadband business and consumer customers are treated equally in terms of coverage areas,” Telkom said.<\/p>\n

“These services will over time cover the majority of our current broadband subscribers and high growth areas.”<\/p>\n

Telkom is currently piloting its high speed VDSL broadband service in Benmore Gardens, Fourways and Waterkloof in Gauteng; Durban North in Kwa-Zulu Natal and Durbanville in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

The company also confirmed to MyBroadband that there will be a tracker where users can check whether their exchange is 20Mbps and 40Mbps enabled.<\/p>\n

Businesses looking to buy Telkom\u2019s new products will need a VDSL modem which is backwards compatible with ADSL to ensure optimal performance.<\/p>\n
