Telkom sets up register to guide high-speed broadband roll-out
Telecommunications group Telkom’s Wholesale unit has implemented a register to further guide the roll-out of its new very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) broadband offerings of up to 20 Mb/s and 40 Mb/s.
The VDSL high-speed broadband products were launched last week – after an extensive pilot – into selected regions in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
Telkom was expected to initially roll the products out to the street distribution cabinet sites that underwent network upgrades over the past few months, in Benmore Gardens, Fourways, Waterkloof, Durban North and Durbanville.
The extent of the coverage was expected to increase as Telkom continued its roll-out nationally.
However, the new interactive Interest and Demand Register application, available on Telkom’s website, was expected to validate the current roll-out plan, influence – where possible – the priorities of the plan to accommodate customer needs and record the areas of high demand.
“The tool will identify if the prospective customer is currently in a VDSL-enabled area of up to 20 Mb/s and up to 40 Mb/s. If the customer is not within these designated areas, it will capture their interest for future roll-out of the higher speed services,” the company said.
