Telkom has introduced a “double your data” promotion, giving capped data users double their monthly data allowance during the promotional period.
Telkom’s helpdesk confirmed the promotion, explaining that it forms part of their “Telkom Internet soft cap” promotion.
The promotion runs from 1 September 2013 until 31 March 2014.
This promotion ups the value to Telkom Internet ADSL subscribers, raising the question of how the ISP’s new capped accounts stack up against competing providers.
