"Effective 1 February, Telkom will permanently increase the monthly DSL blended data cap on the following products: 4GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 5GB; 8GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 10GB and the 16GB Telkom Internet AllAccess will increase to 20GB," Telkom said on Wednesday.
The data caps increases are for both consumers and business.
For R20 more, 1GB Telkom Internet AllAccess customers currently paying R79 for their service can upgrade to the 5GB Telkom Internet AllAccess package for only R99 per month.
"In the case of retail customers, this is the second time since September 2011 that Telkom has increased their monthly data allowances for no extra charge. This is just a simple way of expressing our appreciation to our customers for their support," managing executive: Product House, Steve Lewis, said.
Last year the company launched the TBiz range of broadband products to cater for the internet needs of business, especially small and medium businesses.
They will also increase the caps on the following TBiz Capped Discount Bundles at no additional cost: 8GB TBiz Entry will increase to 10GB; 16GB TBiz Basic (offered at 384kpbs) will increase to 20GB and the 16GB TBiz Advanced (offered at 1MB) will to 20GB.
"The demand for more broadband is ever present. Telkom remains committed to meeting, and where possible, exceeding this demand, in a responsible manner," said Lewis.
