Telkom has officially rolled out its 10 Mb/s ADSL offering, along with an online tool to check availability.

The 10 Mb/s offering was launched in mid-August, with 4Mb/s customers being upgraded to the faster package free of charge if their line supports it.

Customers can now also check whether their home supports the faster speed with Telkom's availability tool.

According to My Broadband, roughly 19 000 lines have been upgraded, with more upgrades in the works.

Users may not be able to sync at 10 Mb/s, depending on the distance from the exchange. In that case, Telkom will drop the speed to 8 Mb/s and below.

MWEB said that the speed upgrades would apply to their capped products, although an uncapped package would be launched near the end of September.
