Thank you so much for your interest in OpenWeb's world-class ADSL products.


ADSL is a fantastic broadband technology that is fast and reliable.  However, getting all the bits and pieces installed can sound a bit daunting.  But don't despair, this quick guide will guide you through the installation process.

What do I need to do to get ADSL?


ADSL runs on Telkom's copper line network.  In order to install ADSL, you will need to have a normal Telkom voice line installed.  ADSL runs over the normal voice line.


Steps:


1.  Call Telkom on 10210 and have them install a normal voice line for you.  If you already have a normal voice line installed, move to Step 2.

2.  Have Telkom convert your voice line into an ADSL line.  This is where you choose the base speed of your connection.  Telkom offers speeds from 1Mbps all the way up to 40Mbp; however, most areas only support speeds up to 4Mbps or 10Mbps.  You can find out the speed your area supports by asking the Telkom agent when you do the conversion!  IMPORTANT:  Telkom is going to try and sell you a contract with all sorts of promises.  They will also want you to use their throttled data.  Kindly deny, because surely you do not want to miss out on the goodness of OpenWeb's UNTHROTTLED products?

3.  Buy yourself a sexy ADSL router.  We can sell you one for only R899 once off.  If you would like to take us up on the offer, simply reply to this mail when you are at this stage.  You can, however, use any ADSL router on our network.  We're just that kind :)

4.  Once the above steps are completed, visit our website:  http://www.openweb.co.za and order yourself any of our data packages.  If you need some guidance, do not hesitate to reply to this mail.  We are always willing to help.
