ADSL Broadband: ADSL subscriber growth
accelerates
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South
Africa), 23 November 2010
The latest
set of Telkom financial results reveals that the number of people
subscribing to the ADSL Broadband packages supplied by Telkom
has increased to just short of 700 000 for the 6 months that ended on 30 September
2010.
Great
news…
It is great
news to learn that Telkom’s ADSL subscriber base grew from 647 462 to 699 368 or
with 8% in the last 6 months that ended on 30 September 2010. This equates to no less than 16% year-on-year ADSL
subscriber growth.
The above is
clear evidence that ADSL Broadband remains among the favourite ways to
connect to the Internet in South Africa despite the success of other competing broadband technologies. It seems
that a large part of Telkom’s success in this regard is due to aggressive
marketing. This is great as long as they don’t sell you a tortoise and call it “ADSL Broadband” or charge you
the price of a full-blooded race horse.
