During the past few years, access to Uncapped LTE broadband has become as essential as water and electricity and if like so many South Africans, you have questions surrounding what LTE and specifically Uncapped LTE are, you've come to the right place.

In this blog, we’ll briefly review the background of LTE, delve into what Telkom Uncapped LTE is, the price of Telkom Uncapped Wi-Fi deals, what a fair usage policy is and we'll also review Telkom's FUP for their Uncapped LTE offering.

What is LTE?

The concept of LTE inspires a number of questions. What is LTE? What is LTE data? Can LTE be Uncapped? Is LTE broadband? Is LTE the same as 4G? In brief, while LTE is not technically the same as 4G, its evolution has occurred on 4G networks. LTE data is transferred faster and with lower latency than 4G.

We’ve all heard of 4G and 5G in cellular network technology, but you may have seen the term LTE and wondered, what does LTE stand for? The short answer is that LTE stands for “Long Term Evolution” and it is most commonly used in connection with 4G, the fourth-generation global wireless communication standard that was first defined in 2008.

What is Uncapped LTE?

Simply put — an Uncapped LTE or Uncapped Wi-Fi internet connection refers to a package where you never run out of data meaning you can use as much as you like and still stay connected without worrying about topping up or reaching data limits.

Some people ask what the difference between uncapped and unlimited data is and the answer is it's much of a muchness really as they are one and the same thing whereby your data has no limit and will not finish.

How much is Telkom Uncapped LTE per month?

At this point, you're probably asking what the cost of Uncapped LTE is or what the price of Telkom Uncapped Wi-Fi is. Or you may be wondering a few things like: What is the cheapest LTE in South Africa? How much is uncapped data on Telkom? Does unlimited data cost more? How much does unlimited data cost per month?

Customers can choose between Uncapped 10Mbps or Uncapped 20Mbps speeds at different price points, dependent on whether you pick a SIM-Only deal or a SIM + Wi-Fi router deal.

Take a look for yourself at the options:

Uncapped LTE 10 Mbps, SIM and a D-Link DWR-956M Wi-Fi router at R529 per month.
Uncapped LTE 20 Mbps, SIM-Only at R599 per month.
Uncapped LTE 20 Mbps, SIM and a D-Link DWR-956M Wi-Fi router at R679 per month.

What is Telkom's Fair Usage Policy (FUP)?

So often our customers ask us a host of questions about how and why Telkom throttles their Uncapped LTE connection, but there is a very good reason why. To ensure that everyone can enjoy the best experience using their internet service, Telkom Uncapped data deals are governed by Telkom's Fair Usage Policy which works as follows:

Telkom Uncapped LTE 10Mbps	Telkom Uncapped LTE 20Mbps
Up to 500GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at 10Mbps speed. After 500GB you will be able to access the network at a standard 4Mbps speed. Should you use more than 550GB, Telkom will then reduce the speed to 2Mbps.	Up to 600GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at 20Mbps speed. After 600GB you will be able to access the network at a standard 4Mbps speed. Should you use more than 650GB, Telkom will then reduce the speed to 2Mbps.

When it comes to Telkom's FUP, Telkom has the right to apply restrictions to an Uncapped LTE account if a customer's usage behaviour is deemed to be affecting the user experience of other customers on the Telkom network. FUP throttling or FUP usage is the intentional slowing of an internet service and is not illegal by any means. It's merely a reactive measure to regulate network traffic and minimise bandwidth congestion and that's why Telkom throttles uncapped LTE customers.

As you can see for yourself, Telkom Uncapped LTE is a truly unique product in that it offers unlimited data and value at pricing that's totally reasonable. Telkom in turn also protects you against the abuse of heavy internet users by imposing their Fair Usage Policy which ensures you can continue to enjoy your superior experience of web browsing, video and music streaming, email, VoIP and TV/Radio streaming.

Telkom's 2022 Uncapped 10Mbps And 20Mbps LTE Fair Usage Policy Explained

Mon, 09 May 2022 10:45:11 +0200

If you're a Telkom Uncapped LTE customer, you may have noticed that even though your Telkom Uncapped wi-fi deal is a truly uncapped product, that it's still subject to an internet fair use policy. This begs the question: what exactly is fair use?

In an effort to ensure all its users enjoy a superior Uncapped LTE experience with fast speeds, Telkom wants to ensure that there are no heavy users that will ruin the experience for other users. Heavy or excessive users are generally those who use peer-to-peer downloads (P2P), NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) or file-sharing software. They are usually people who upload and download large files, such as torrented movies and music on a daily basis, reaching their FUP threshold.

These users take up excessive bandwidth, slowing the connection down for everyone else. Throttling restrictions are thus imposed to ensure that the best quality of broadband is available to the maximum number of customers.

Normal web browsing, video and music streaming, email, VoIP and TV/Radio streaming do not fall into the P2P/NNTP category and speed will not be affected. Speed effects are only dependent on the amount of data that you have used.

Telkom's Uncapped LTE Fair Usage Policies

With Telkom's recent introduction of both a 10Mbps and a 20Mbps Uncapped LTE product, their Fair Usage Policy monthly data allocation has been modified slightly and works as follows:

For the Uncapped LTE 10Mbps deal:

Up to 500GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at 10Mbps speed.
After 500GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at a standard 4Mbps speed.
Should you use more than 550GB, Telkom will then reduce the speed to 2Mbps.

For the Uncapped LTE 20Mbps deal:

Up to 600GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at 20Mbps speed.
After 600GB of usage, you will be able to access the network at a standard 4Mbps speed.
Should you use more than 650GB, Telkom will then reduce the speed to 2Mbps

Telkom Uncapped LTE All Hours is a truly Uncapped LTE product where you can use as much data as you want without worrying about hitting data caps or having to top up. We're sure it's now easier to understand that Telkom's Uncapped LTE internet Fair Use Policy is in fact extremely fair and is put into place to protect it's customers.

Streaming into 2021 with the fastest fibre internet speeds

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 13:24:56 +0200

Whether you're streaming movies on Netflix, jamming out to the latest songs on Spotify, playing your favourite online game on your Xbox or streaming YouTube videos, your internet speed definitely matters - A LOT!

These days, the internet plays such an integral role in our daily lives, that we feel completely lost without an available, reliable and fast internet connection to keep us switched on to social media, instant messaging and email.

To ensure you can stream and game your heart out with your fibre internet connection, it's important to select a fibre internet speed that matches your needs.

Here's a guideline to help you determine which fibre internet speed is best for you:

Netflix & Showmax 💻

Opting for an uncapped fibre internet package ensures that you'll have enough data to watch all the content you want! If you’re a single user, we’d recommend to you select a 10Mbps uncapped fibre deal.

To enjoy a smooth standard definition video in 480p, a fibre internet speed that is more than 3Mbps is recommended.

For a single user wanting to stream in HD, a 5Mbps fibre line is recommended.

If you have a family, opting for standard HD 1080p, the recommended fibre line speed is 10Mbps - 25Mbps.

Ultra HD streaming requires a minimum of 25Mbps fibre line speed.

Watching TV shows or movies on Netflix uses about 1GB of data per hour for each stream of standard definition video and up to 3GB per hour for each stream of HD video & 5-7GB per hour for 4K content

Netflix and Showmax automatically adjust the video quality to match your internet speed. If Netflix detects a slow internet speed, it will not stream high-definition quality video, even if the movie or TV show is available in HD.

YouTube ▶️

For standard definition video streaming, a fibre connection that is more than 3Mbps is recommended.

To stream in 1080p HD content, a 5Mpbs and up fibre line is required.

A 20Mbps fibre connection is required if you and others in the same household wish to stream in HD quality on the same network.

Watching a YouTube video at the standard 480p uses around 260MB per hour, while Full HD viewing can chew through 1.65GB. 4K video playback on YouTube will use as much as 2.7GB of data every hour.

Music 🎵

To stream music without having to worry about your song buffering, you will only need 2-10Mbps as a starting point. Keep in mind that a faster fibre connection is required if you would like to do other things like play games or stream a YouTube video.

Gaming 🎮

If you’re a gamer, ideally you should opt for an uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled fibre internet package with at least 50 Mbps download speed and anything from 20Mbps upload line for your gaming needs. Depending on the games you play, you can use up to 1GB an hour or more.

If you live in a household with more than 2 people, things can get complicated. You would require additional line speed - in this instance roughly 5-10Mbps per person.

It is also important to remember that the amount of devices connected to the same fibre internet connection will affect your upload and download speeds.

DSL Telecom has over 1500 delighted customers that have signed up for Uncapped Fibre internet in the past few months alone. Will you be next? We'd love to get you connected!
