Announcement: Telkom Discontinues Copper Services

Wed, 04 May 2022 13:52:10 +0200

Telkom, has recently announced that it will be discontinuing its copper network. This move has significant implications for the future of voice communication in South Africa.

The copper network has been the backbone of voice communication in South Africa for many years. However, with the advent of new technologies such as fibre-optic cables and 5G wireless networks, the use of copper has become increasingly obsolete. Telkom has recognised this and has decided to discontinue its copper network entirely.

It is important to note that the transition away from copper will not be immediate. Telkom has announced a phased approach to discontinuing the network, with plans to complete the process by 2023. In the meantime, customers who still rely on the copper network for their voice communication will need to start planning for the transition to alternative technologies.

In line with Telkom's ongoing efforts to offer their customers the best possible service experience, it will be necessary for copper customers to migrate or upgrade to a newer internet technology. These technologies will not only offer a better experience for customers but will also help Telkom address the challenges they face in relation to copper theft.

Are Telkom landlines being discontinued?

Since Telkom is currently shutting down its copper network, it means that all traditional phone lines and ADSL services will be discontinued.

What are the alternative voice options available ?

The good news is that we at DSL Telecom offer a host of faster and more reliable internet and voice alternatives to Telkom's copper services. Contact DSL Telecom if you want to migrate to a VoIP line, LTE or Fibre.

To Conclude

Telkom's decision to discontinue copper services marks an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of internet technologies. While copper was once a cutting-edge technology, it has been largely surpassed by newer and more advanced options. While the discontinuation of copper may be disruptive for some users in the short term, it ultimately represents an important step forward for South Africa's internet infrastructure and its ability to meet the needs of a growing digital economy.

Please note that after March 2023, Telkom will be unable to guarantee support for copper services.
