Telkom LTE

LTE vs Fibre?

LTE is delivered over a dedicated, licensed wireless spectrum using advanced technologies while Fibre is delivered over a physical fibre optic cable. Both technologies are capable of delivering faster internet speeds with lower latency and higher dependability than traditional technologies. 

Why choose Telkom LTE?

Telkom LTE offers fast download and upload speeds that will significantly improve your internet experience. 

Does Rica apply?

Rica compliance rules will apply.

Does Telkom Uncapped LTE have an FUP?

Yes, there is an FUP (Fair Usage Policy). In order to protect customers on its network, Telkom will reduce the speed of heavy users. It's quite simple. 


10Mbps Uncapped LTE FUP:
Up to 500GB of usage, you'll be able to access the Telkom LTE/A network at a full 10Mbps high speed. After 500GB,  you'll be able to access the network a standard 4Mbps speed and should you happen to use more than 550GB within the month, Telkom will further reduce the speed on the product to an acceptable 2Mbps which is enough speed for TV streaming, email and general internet browsing.


20Mbps Uncapped LTE FUP:

Up to 600GB of usage, you'll be able to access the Telkom LTE/A network at a full 20Mbps high speed. After 600GB,  you'll be able to access the network a standard 4Mbps speed and should you happen to use more than 650GB within the month, Telkom will further reduce the speed on the product to an acceptable 2Mbps which is enough speed for TV streaming, email and general internet browsing.


What do I need to have with me when the courier delivers my Uncapped LTE?

The person receiving the LTE package needs to be the same person who has signed for the deal on the application form and they will need to present a copy of their ID to the courier.

What date does my FUP reset?

The FUP resets on the 1st of each month.

Can I use a 3rd party for payments?

If you want to sign up for a Telkom Mobile service but would like another party to pay for the service you will need to do the following:

If the 3rd party payer is a consumer: You will need to supply a copy of the ID of the person whose bank account will be paying for the service, as well as a letter from that person, giving you authority to use their bank account for the specified Telkom mobile service payment.

If the 3rd party payer is a business: You will need to supply a copy of the company registration document for the company whose bank account will be paying for the service, as well as a letter from that company (a person who is duly authorised to do so) giving you authority to use their bank account for the specified Telkom mobile service payment.

What speeds can I expect?

Telkom’s Uncapped LTE 10Mbps network supports download speeds up to 10Mbps.

What is LTE-A (LTE Advanced)?

LTE-Advanced, also known as 4G, is the next evolution from LTE technology and Telkom was the first to commercially launch this technology in South Africa. LTE-Advanced supports a lower latency compared to LTE technology which is important in supporting services that require real time online capability like online gaming and high Quality of Service (QoS). LTE-Advanced QoS provides a guaranteed quality of service and experience for voice and data services in comparison to LTE.

Signing Up
What are the contract terms?

For Sim Only packages, the contract term is on a month-to-month basis and for Sim + Router packages, the contract term is 24 months.

Can I add the LTE service to my existing Telkom account?

If you have a Telkom Mobile account then yes. If you have a Telkom Fixed Line account (i.e. landline or ADSL service), then no, as Fixed Line and Mobile are different divisions at Telkom.

Which supporting documents are required if I sign up with my personal (consumer) capacity?

1. Signed application form

2. Copy of Id

3. Copy of latest Telkom bill (Only required for existing Telkom customers)

How long does it take for my SIM to be activated?

+/- 72 business hours. Once your hardware arrives, your SIM card is not yet active. You need to sign the courier waybill and only after the courier gets back to the depot and scans in the waybill and sends it to the Telkom Mobile back-office, will Telkom activate the SIM.

What happens if I relocate?

Because this is a fixed wireless broadband service, we cannot guarantee network coverage and reliability if you relocate. However should you take it with you when you travel or move, it will work just by plugging it in depending on whether you are still in a LTE, 3G or LTE-Advanced coverage zone (should you have an LTE–advanced router/package).

Which supporting documents are required if I sign up in my business capacity?

1. Signed Application Form
2. Company Registration Document

3. Copy of Director's ID

4. Copy of latest Telkom Bill 

5. Proof of Director's Address 

6. Proof of banking (1 month bank statement, canceled cheque or bank confirmation letter)
