thatgraemeguyhttp://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/136884-telkom-integrated-data-wallet-launched-use-your-adsl-on-mobile.html09:19
thatgraemeguyI wonder what the catch is?09:19
thatgraemeguyi.e. what stops me from just buying an ADSL capped account and using it on mobile, which would be cheaper09:19
MaNIit does explicitly say their *capped* data in the description09:27
MaNIunless thats just bad journalism09:27
thatgraemeguyyes of course09:27
thatgraemeguybut even so a 20GB capped adsl account is WAY cheaper than 20GB of regular mobile data09:28
MaNIahh sorry, thought you said uncapped account09:28
thatgraemeguyso there must be a catch of some sort09:28
MaNIhopefully nothing, it would be nice to finally stop being ripped off for mobile data, but there must be something09:28
thatgraemeguylike limited to 512kbps, or whatnot09:28
thatgraemeguykeen to see the Ts & Cs eventually09:28
MaNII suppose if it pushes lots of mobiles users who don't have ADSL to get ADSL it can be worth their while09:34
MaNIfixed monthly line rentals and whatnot instead of sporadic as needed data purchases09:35
thatgraemeguyI supposed they would validate whether you had an adsl line09:35
thatgraemeguyand if they're clever they only let the mobile work if you have an active adsl connection at the time09:36
thatgraemeguyotherwise i just buy a nice 20GB adsl account and use it on my telkom sim, all while still using ISP X on my adsl router09:36
MaNIyeah09:37
MaNIprobably tied to the line rental is my guess09:38
MaNIpushes more people to return to renting lines from them and helps them make money that way (and win back the market)09:38
MaNIfrom there they can slowly increase data prices or upsell people in other ways on the ADSL09:38
thatgraemeguyyeah but there has to be some way to prevent someone with an already-existing line from just scoring cheap mobile data09:39
thatgraemeguyi've had adsl for 10 years, they aren't winning a new account with me, so what stops me from getting 10GB of mobile for R99 using this? mmmm09:40
thatgraemeguyguess i'll just wait and see09:40
MaNImaybe09:40
MaNIor maybe they just don't care about the losses from existing ADSL users who also use lots of mobile09:40
MaNII've no t been following closely but we have crazy statistics where most of our 'broadband' is now mobile and stuff09:41
MaNIThe ADSL network is pretty much their only asset they have that their competitors don't - if they let trends continue it will become irrelevant and everything will be mobile - so growing the ADSL userbase might be worth it09:42
thatgraemeguygrowing ADSL is a temp measure at best, it's all about fibre nowadays09:43
MaNII'm an example - I don't have an ADSL line I just connect via wireless to the office and use the office internet - with this I would possibly be forced to at least consider going back to renting an ADSL line09:43
MaNIwell ADSL/fibre - growing the fixed line non wireless userbase09:43
thatgraemeguymaybe trying to boost adsl numbers because its essentially free money at this stage, then plough the free money into fibre09:43
MaNIbut yeah will be interesting to see the final t&c's09:44
MaNImaybe there will be a 'for up to 100Mb a day' limitation or something to keep it sane09:44
thatgraemeguyI wanted to use wireless to the office too but it isn't physically practical for me right now sadly09:44
thatgraemeguyso spolied with 100M fibre here and 2M adsl at home :'(09:45
thatgraemeguyI know, #firstworldproblems09:45
MaNImy office internet is sadly just ADSL no fancy fibre stuff, but still better than having my own09:45
MaNIplus I swore to never deal directly with telkom ever again09:46
MaNIafter they spent like 2 years harassing me for money that I didn't owe them :p (plus all the other torment I've had dealing with them over the years)09:47
MaNIif I couldn't connect to the office I'd probably just be on a wisp09:47
