MWEB<\/a> has launched six new connectivity products that take advantage of the introduction of VDSL<\/a> (Very-High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) technology in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cVDSL is like ADSL on steroids \u2013 only faster. It\u2019s up to four times faster than the fastest ADSL currently available,\u201d said MWEB ISP CEO Derek Hershaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Hershaw, while LTE may offer higher burst speeds and Fibre may deliver greater long-term reliability, VDSL is the way to go for users that have high-traffic-high-speed requirements.<\/p>\n

Telkom<\/a> Internet will launch VDSL<\/a>-based broadband products on 4 March 2013, which will see customers experience speeds of up to 20Mbps and up to 40Mbps.<\/p>\n

Telkom has also announced their VDSL line rental costs. Note this will still require rental of an analogue line as a pre-requisite for DSL line rental.<\/p>\n

Telkom’s current line-rental charges per month are R148.37 (consumer) and R203.35 (business).<\/p>\n

Hershaw cautioned that VDSL is currently available in only a handful of areas in Gauteng, the Western Cape, and KwaZulu Natal.<\/p>\n

Whether a potential VDSL subscriber is able to get the service will depend on how far their premises are from a Telkom<\/a> street distribution cabinet (SDC), and whether that SDC has been upgraded to a multi-service access node (MSAN<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cMWEB is following the roll-out of MSANs closely. As soon as the Telkom infrastructure upgrade is complete, we will make our VDSL products available to our customers in that area,” said Hershaw.<\/p>\n
