Is there another ADSL line rental besides Telkom?

[Ichigo]

Hey Guys,

Just want to find out on this Topic. Is there a company that rents lines beside Telkom and do we have to pay for a Telephone line and A ADSL line and why is that?

Phone telkom to find out if I can cancel my telephone line and just keep my ADSL line and they said no! Just want to find out if that is true?

Thanks

Like others have said they are a monopoly and won't allow any other company access to the lines and exchanges so they the only way to go until they change their policies which I doubt will ever happen though since they got a cash cow.

The only alternative is 3g or wireless if you do not want to use Telkom's infrastructure.

Yeah and they are heavily invested in ensuring that it remains that way. A good, ethical competitor worse force them to actually provide a consistent and good service...and they can't have that

Hope one company will come here and push them out, they are exactly like DSTV where everyone is scared of doing something even Top TV failed.

Top tv failed, because the target group was for people with no enough money to buy dstv but never had enough channels to offer.

Telkom is going to fail because that can't handle all the people that want better speeds, better service ext.

One reason why I never went to Top TV is cause they were missing lots of my favourite sports channels and programs .

My main gripe as well was the lack of sports. How else am I to pass a quiet Saturday afternoon

Do you really need to double post everywhere, all the time?

There"s no other Place to get a fixed ADSL line yet Telkom are down on subscribers I wonder why that is.

Probably cause 3g/Wireless is getting better coverage now and there is also copper theft.

Yeah Telkom has a monopoly on the bare-bone lines in our country.
