Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
A bit off topic, but pointless to make another thread... we have an Axxess account already, but want a 4mb line (current is 384)... who do we contact to upgrade? from what I can tell, we have to cancel our current account and re create one with the 4mb option, which is an absolute pain.

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
If you are paying for your line directly to Telkom, then a simple phone call can have your line upgraded in short order. Downgrading will cost you though.

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
but if you do it through telkom yes your line will be 4mb but wont axxess cap your speed at 384 since you got a 384 account?
Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
Do they even sell speed limited accounts?

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
Question.
We have a 2mb adsl line at home via telkom which we use for our business work and emails - Is it possible for me to get a second adsl line through e.g saol.com which is 384kb uncapped running from a second router?
I am interested in this http://www.saol.com/adsl20.php but the speed of this line will just not cut it for work purposes.

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
I think you'd need Telkom to come install a second line with a different number.

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
You can dial multiple PPPoE's though a single adsl line. If SOAL gives you an account(not a router like IS) you can launch the SOAL account though the same dsl line, but you will still only have 2mbps.

Re: Advice on uncapped ADSL
Well after trialling DigiChilli I have decided to go with SAOL for R499 a month. Going to be a huge downgrade in terms of line speed (4mb --> 384k) but I dont give a hoot. I want uncapped dammit!
