ADSL speed upgrades are on the way, telecommunications company Telkom said on Friday.
“This will enable Telkom Internet to effectively increase the value to entry level broadband customers,” it said.
The ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) upgrades will be as follows: ‘Up to 384 kbps’ will become ‘Up to 1 024 kbps’ and its ‘Up to 1 024 kbps’ will become ‘Up to 2 048 kbps’.
“Telkom is enhancing its value proposition to truly differentiate our broadband offerings. We are accelerating the evolution of broadband offerings in the country,” Telkom’s Managing Director for Consumer Services and Retail, Manelisa Mavuso, said.
“This speed upgrade is indicative of the infinite possibilities that Telkom’s innovation will enable. We are now in a position to create new products and services that will allow customers to run multiple bandwidth-hungry applications simultaneously and at faster speeds.”
The benefits of the speed upgrades are not only relevant to Telkom’s residential customers but are equally significant to its business customers.
Through this significant milestone, Telkom Business will be able to satisfy the increasing demand for bandwidth and data speeds to its business customer base. – BuaNews
