ADSL Is Dying – But Connectivity’s Alive & Thriving

July 15, 2020

ADSL is dying, and very soon it is going to reach the end of its shelf life. But this doesn’t mean you’re left without connectivity options. Quite the opposite, really! With the birth of Fibre and Fixed LTE, you now have faster, more affordable, and reliable connectivity options available to you. 

Since it launched in 2002, ADSL boasted fast adoption rates. Not only this, but it also opened the ISP (Internet Service provider) landscape up to an array of hungry and dedicated entrepreneurs who went on to open some of the most trusted internet service provider businesses in our country today. 

By 2016, there were well over 1 million fixed Broadband subscribers on Telkom’s networks, but by 2017 that number started to decrease – and the decline has been steady ever since. 

As we write this in 2020, Telkom have officially killed copper – and have started removing all copper line infrastructure. But this doesn’t mean those using ADSL are left without connectivity options.

 

Faster, Better Connectivity Options Await 

There are faster and better connectivity options that rest at your fingertips: 

 

 

Fibre is the best connectivity currently available for your home. Delivered through highspeed Fibre optic cables instead of regular copper telephone lines (like ADSL)Fibre connectivity is faster, far more reliableand encounters less drops in connectionIt also ends up being more affordable than ADSL when you consider the fact that you don’t need an active Telkom telephone line to run it – which saves you a few hundred rand each month.  

With speeds up to 1 Gbps and affordable package prices, it is the new and exciting connectivity behemoth that is here to stay for a long time, and is sure to grow in leaps and bounds as time marches on.
