Reduction ADSL rates

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 7 August 2007

Telkom’s ADSL rates officially took a nosedive earlier this month while the prices of other services such as analogue line rental increased.This comes after Telkom announced planned ADSL price reductions earlier this year.

We are happy to see that Telkom kept at least one promise this year…

The following price drops came into effect on the 1st of August:

• 38%  drop in access price of DSL 384 to R152 .

• 10%  drop in access price of DSL 512 to R326 .

• 20%  drop in access price of 4 Mbps to R413.

In other words, average price drops of over 20% came into effect on the 1st of August (excluded Do Broadband products prices).

Any ADSL price reductions on Telkom’s Do Broadband products (which include both the ADSL access and ISP usage charges)?

Yes.

Do Broadband price drops:

• 29%  drop in price of DSL 384 service with 1GB allowance to R199.

• 29%  drop in price of DSL 384 service with 2GB allowance to R258.

• 18%  drop in price of 4 Mbps ADSL service with 3GB allowance to R258.

In other words, the prices of Telkom’s Do Broadband products dropped 25% on average since the 1st of August.

Did the prices of Telkom’s Closer packages also dropped?

Yes.

Closer package price drops:

• 14% drop in price of Telkom’s Closer Plan 4 to R429 (includes DSL 384 access with standard closer benefits).
