Telkom 20Mbps, 40Mbps VDSL pricing

Telkom Internet will launch VDSL-based broadband products on 4 March 2013, which will see customers experience speeds of up to 20Mbps and up to 40Mbps.

These high speed products will, for now, be launched in selected areas. The initial rollout will offer these services in Benmore Gardens, Fourways and Waterkloof in Gauteng; Durban North in KwaZulu-Natal; and Durbanville in the Western Cape.

Customers wanting the new products will require a VDSL modem from Telkom Internet that is backward compatible with ADSL to ensure optimal performance, and allows for remote management from the ISP.

Telkom Internet and Telkom Business will launch a range of new 20Mbps and 40Mbps products, including capped and uncapped bundles.

The following tables provide an overview of Telkom’s new 20Mbps and 40Mbps products. The products listed below include Telkom’s DSL access fees, but not the voice line rental fees (unless otherwise indicated, as with home products including voice minutes).
