Telkom serves up more data

Following a successful three month free blended data promotion, Telkom today announced that the data caps for the TelkomInternet AllAccess products would be permanently increased at no additional charge.

In July this year the Company announced a promotion to its data hungry customers in which the monthly data cap on the 1 GB TelkomInternet AllAccess increase to 5GB; the 5GB TelkomInternet AllAccess to 10GB and the 9GB TelkomInternet AllAccess to 20GB.

This promotion was well received by customers who enjoyed free additional data usage for three consecutive months.

However, with the promotion drawing to a close at the end of September, Telkom is permanently increasing the monthly DSL blended data cap on the following products: 3GB TelkomInternet AllAccess will increase to 4GB; 6GB TelkomInternet AllAccess will increase to 8GB and the 10GB TelkomInternet AllAccess will increase to 16GB.

This new offer will not affect the free local data allocated on these packages. Telkom customers on these packages will automatically receive the increase data cap from 1 October with no additional charge.

Telkom's Managing Director of Consumer Services and Retail, Manelisa Mavuso said, "We are aware of the ongoing appetite South Africans are developing for data and Telkom is gearing up to meet that demand."

"This offer is just another way TelkomInternet would like to reward our valued customers for their continuous support," he added.

Telkom also highlighted that for R20 more 1GB TelkomInternet AllAccess customers currently paying R79 for their service can upgrade to the 4GB TelkomInternet AllAccess package for only R99 per month.
