  1. If any Telkom official is reading this:

    Extend the 150GB cap to 300GB or make Night Surfer available after midnight without any of this 2Mbps capping.

    Streaming is becoming a norm worldwide, and 150GB just isn’t fair considering you’re forcing people on ADSL lines to switch over to this LTE service, and ADSL doesn’t nearly have this kind of limit.

    I mean we’re even in a pandemic right now, and you’re telling me 150GB is going to last an entire month with a family? It isn’t.

    Don’t be selfish, Telkom. R899 p/m is A LOT of money for only R150GB at 10Mbps.

  2. all networks in South Africa is a big fat SCAM money sukkers!!!!, we all worry about this virus.
    Telkom is a virus by its own, scam sukker virus.

    Been on this package since december 2018 and the price has been the same R899. Iv had several issues where 4g disconnects frequently. Support is terrible. Most of time i cant get over 6Mb on this line. For past 3 weeks iv gotten 0.5Mb and this would be fastest at 3am to 5am. Iv had enough of paying full R899 and nt getting what im paying for so i submitted to have my contract cancelled. Looking for a new SP any suggestions my area only allows LTE no fibre

      Just to add. Both vodacom and mtn speedtests from mobile had proper speed ratings compared to telkom during the past 3wks.

        indeed Telkom has a serious network challenge and they are reaping off our moneys..they must have an open line policy and stop abusing our business to business Relationship.

  5. Seethamma Naidoo on

    Please call me on 084xxxxx I want to know about the 80g data for R299.00 I have a landline 011 xxxx . Pensioner

  6. Dear Sir/Madam

    I am looking for an uncapped and / or unlimited Telkom WiFi home service network coverage.

    regards

  7. Hi all,
    Please be aware I have the 80gb 299.00 bundle and it’s the worst deal in the country. I could only reach 1-2 mbps at all hours on speed test. anytime on the telkom lte network. They choke your service to death. I have neighbour’s on Voda and Mtn lte packages with 20 x the speed.

  8. Sive Valashiya on

    I have to agree with Cecil. I bought 120gb for R459 and I regret it. The speed is absolutely awful. I can’t do anything with this data. I can’t stream anything. I feel that these companies should make customers aware of the speed. This is unfair and uncalled for. It’s downright fraud.

  9. I just bought the 100GB night surfer from Telkom and i am just here to warn others to beware of this scam. The speed is throttled to a point where i won’t even be able to finish 5% of this package. I cannot even stream anything, speeds are as low as 10Kb/s. It is not even about network coverage, i am not roaming or anything, i am on Telkom’s 4G network. Biggest rip off I’ve ever encountered.

  10. I bought Telkom 5gig day & 5night data that’s worth R99 and I tell you they’re 4G network is cutting data most of the time or it will tell me my LTE SIM is off. I restart my phone more that 5 times a day but is not helping.
