Telkom has filed its 2012 annual tariff adjustment, revealing that ADSL subscribers can expect to pay more in future.<\/p>\n

Telkom said that its monthly rental fees on Telkom\u2019s Do Broadband bundles remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

However, the monthly rental fees on the DSL offers will increase as follows: Fast DSL will increase to R165.00; Faster DSL will increase to R299.00, and Fastest DSL will increase to R425.00.<\/p>\n

Telkom said in a press statement that it has ensured that its 2012 annual tariff adjustment is below the Consumer Price Index as the Company revealed an increase of only 1.2% on overall basic voice and data services.<\/p>\n

The adjustments, which will come into effect on 1 August 2012, apply to Telkom’s tariffs for line rentals, outgoing calls, DSL and data connectivity services.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelkom is committed to delivering value as we endeavour to contain the adjustments to a minimum. To this end, the adjustments are significantly less than inflation which is currently at 5.7%,\u201d said Manelisa Mavuso, Telkom’s Managing Director: Consumer Services and Retail.<\/p>\n
