Telkom has announced it will roll out the first phase of SmartBroadband uncapped high-speed packages to select areas in Gauteng.

An online sale will take place on 10 June to offer the uncapped packages to customers on a 24-month contract at prices starting at R599.

As part of the promotional offer, customers will also receive an antenna and installation by Telkom technicians at no additional cost. Promotional packages will be capped at 150 per base station to ensure a high quality customer experience with the service.

The online sale will initially be focused on selected base stations in Gauteng from 10 June to 10 July and will be rolled out to additional locations in the following months. The online sale portal will be live and available on the Telkom Web site from next Wednesday and includes a dashboard and coverage map with the select LTE areas that are eligible for the sale.

On the coverage map, physical addresses can be entered to determine whether a customer is eligible to participate in the sale and claim one of the 150 spots available per base station.

The introductory offer will start at R599 for the first 50 customers, R699 for the second 50 and R799 for the final 50 available packages at each base station. Telkom's SmartBroadband uncapped high-speed wireless service includes uncapped for all traffic types. Normal fair usage will be applied.

Customers who participate in the online sale after the 150 spots have already been taken, will be added to a waiting list. Existing Telkom customers in the select areas will have the opportunity to transition to the new packages depending on availability at each base station.

The select areas were based on where Telkom had excess LTE capacity available. Customers outside of the initial select areas can still take advantage of Telkom's other high-speed broadband packages and have the opportunity to transition to the offer should it become available in their location at a later stage.
