Telkom has introduced a “double your data” promotion, giving capped data users double their monthly data allowance during the promotional period.<\/p>\n

Telkom\u2019s helpdesk confirmed the promotion, explaining that it forms part of their \u201cTelkom Internet soft cap\u201d promotion.<\/p>\n

The promotion runs from 1 September 2013 until 31 March 2014.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of how Telkom Internet’s ADSL data promotion compares with other capped products in the market.<\/p>\n
