Telkom increased the monthly allowance (cap) on its consumer and business ADSL offerings free of charge this month (February).<\/p>\n

Effective 1 February, Telkom increased the monthly DSL blended data cap on the following products: 4GB Telkom Internet AllAccess increases to 5GB; 8GB Telkom Internet AllAccess increases to 10GB and the 16GB Telkom Internet AllAccess increases to 20GB.<\/p>\n

Telkom pointed out that these cap increases improve the value of both the consumer Do products, and the business TBiz discount bundles.<\/p>\n

The higher usage allowances mean that Telkom’s Do basic, Do level 2, Do advanced and Do premium subscribers will benefit from more data in future.<\/p>\n

This raises the question as to how Telkom’s new ‘all-in-one’ packages compare with competing offerings in the market. The following table answers this question.<\/p>\n
