    Gamers rejoice! ADSL speed upgrades are upon us

    Telkom will start to upgrade ADSL speeds on Friday 24 August; this is what you can expect

    Ah what awesomeness.... finally... I hope I get mine sooner than later... 2Mb here we GO!

    EDIT: ohwait... Telkom apparently firmly believes I'm on 384k.... :/ speedtest.net says 1Mb...
    Why would I be on 384k if I asked for 1Mb and actually got it last year August? And if they believe I'm on 384k that means I'll stay on 1Mb when the upgrade happens? Time to sor this out before the time.

    I'm on 384k, so the bump up to 1mb will be awesome!

    We take all the scraps we can get down here in the wilderness.

    I'm looking forward to the 1mb to 2mb bump.

    I reckon we'll get to those speeds soonish, like around the year 2080 or so... :/

    I am not looking forward to the bump to 2MB, as this will double my ISP cost...

    I am going to downgrade to 1MB, as this will keep the pricing the same. (So many people still think that their total cost for 2mb will be the same as for 1mb, this is not the case btw...)

    I'm more than willing to spend a little more for double the speed.
