Telkom Internet and Telkom Business announced today (31 October 2013) Internet speed upgrades for existing consumer and business customers. This follows the recently announced ADSL line speed increases for all Internet Service Providers (ISPs).<\/p>\n

\u201cEffectively, we are doubling the entry level DSL speeds in the market. The increased speeds allow for improved video streaming, online gaming and video conferencing by reducing buffering and latency,\u201d said Manelisa Mavuso, Managing Director of Consumer Services and Retail at Telkom.<\/p>\n

Telkom said that these improvements are part of the company\u2019s network transformation programme and a more aggressive positioning of their retail ISP.<\/p>\n

The latest announcement follows the evolution of capped services to Softcap, promotions on social media, gaming and movie packages and differentiation of business and home usage products.<\/p>\n
