Telkom ups data caps

Johannesburg, 02 Feb 2012

Telkom has instituted a permanent capacity increase in the monthly allowance on its consumer and business broadband offerings, at no additional cost.

This follows the increased caps for the Telkom Internet AllAccess products introduced in September last year, and is effective as of yesterday. The monthly DSL blended cap on the following products has been permanently increased: 4GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 5GB; 8GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 10GB; and the 16GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 20GB. The cap increases apply to both the consumer Do products and the business Tbiz discount bundles.

In addition to this, says Telkom, 1GB Telkom Internet AllAccess customers currently paying R79 for their service, can upgrade to the 5GB Telkom Internet AllAccess package for R99 per month.

Business deals

Telkom Business launched the TBiz range of broadband products last October to cater for business Internet needs, particularly those of small and medium businesses.

Due to the TBiz range being well received, says Telkom, the company has also increased the caps on the following TBiz Capped Discount Bundles, at no additional cost: 8GB TBiz Entry will increase to 10GB; 16GB TBiz Basic (offered at 384Kpbs) will increase to 20GB; and the 16GB TBiz Advanced (offered at 1MB) will increase to 20GB.

“Customers still have the option to create their own bundles from the range of line, Internet usage and VAS elements that are available,” says Telkom.

Telkom Business has also launched additional Internet usage packages, shaped and unshaped, to give businesses a wider range of options on Internet bandwidth usage to bundle with the DSL service.

Managing executive of products at Telkom, Steve Lewis, says the demand for broadband is ever present. “Our value proposition to our business customers is strongly geared to offer basic connectivity [as well as] provide the tools for productivity, cost savings and market differentiation.”
