hey people! Need internet at home! Could anyone recommend any solutions? My last resort (if everything else is too expensive) would be a 56k connection - but hopefully with the help of YOU guys I'll be able to find something better? |

Dude internet is xpensive! but 56k works for me, just gotta be patient, ut telkom really screws you even with ISDN, with line rental, u still gotta pay for the call, and then there is still ur ISP u gotta pay! |

dude, 56k works about the best right now. Don't even look at ADSL with telscums (spit) new per/gig billing system coming into play at month end! 56k + infinit call. It aint sooo bad, just don't download files bigger than 5meg or try online gaming lol. Maybe ISDN, but not sure what the prices are.... fucking telscum throtteling bastards.... |

I agree with the 56K thing, if you're on a tight budget. As long as Telkom is in control of things, just about everyone will be on a tight budget. Aren't there any free ISP's like ABSA's anymore? Of course you'll also have to pay Telkom for line rental every month. I have no such luxuries at home, so if the net gets taken away at work, I'm f'ed. I am NOT paying Telkom to come and install a line and then pay them more money every month, plus call charges. Even if I can afford it. |

The ADSL monthly fee aint that bad, it's the fucking useless 3Gig cap that makes it a waste of time and money. I'd kill that cap in a day or two.... MAn I hate telscum!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: |

Cool cool... The problem is that I might be moving - so it'll be a waste getting DSL installed if I'm moving in the next 2 months! It seems all my options are closed until next year... I might just get a 56k so long for emergencies |

It'll total about R500 a month for that package (Which is actually 2 gigs, if you read the fine print...) |
