TelkomInternet has signed up more than 10 000 customers since it was introduced less than a year ago, and expectations of continued growth in 2001 have prompted Telkom to expand the service to include ISDN access.
This new service will enable TelkomInternet customers to access the Internet using ISDN Basic Rate facilities at a connection speed of 64 Kbit.
Like the existing analogue dial-up service at R79 per month, the ISDN access service is competitively priced at only R229 per month. This includes 5 Mbit of free web hosting space.
A key benefit to customers is the fact that TelkomInternet charges conveniently appear on monthly telephone accounts. The new ISDN service also provides unlimited access via one unique dial-up number at the cost of a local call anywhere in South Africa. Full technical support is available on a 24-hour basis from Telkom`s dedicated Internet helpline, and customers subscribing to this service need not sign any long-term contracts.
Any existing analogue dial-up Internet subscriber may upgrade to this new service by ordering an ISDN Basic Rate line, acquiring a digital ISDN modem and subscribing to the new ISDN TelkomInternet access service. The ISDN basic rate service offers the versatility of two different connections - each with its own number. This allows the customer to make or receive a call or fax while surfing the Internet. ISDN basic rate line and usage charges are according to Telkom`s standard published rates. Telkom also offers a range of ISDN modems with back-up support.
TelkomInternet access via ISDN can be ordered by dialling Telkom`s new Business Call Center on 10217.
