Capped ADSL
What are the Telkom costs?
You will be billed on your normal monthly Telkom telephone account for all components of the Telkom ADSL access service. The ADSL related prices are incremental (over and above) your existing telephone monthly line rental, installation charge and telephone calls.

Telkom include a free Wifi modem with 4 built in Ethernet ports on signing a 24-month contract for the ADSL line. Penalties are based on a sliding scale for early cancellations and subject to availability of stock.Tradepage will still remain the ISP.
Tradepage accounts do allow multiple concurrent logins per ADSL account. We are able to lock the port, therefore restricting access to just one telephone line.
- Shaped - The shaped ADSL service distinguishes between the various protocols used over the Internet. The main priority is HTTP. At present, all international HTTP traffic is transparently cached for ADSL users. All international un-cached data is shaped. The following un-cached protocols are prioritised on the network: HTTP (in certain cases HTTP is not cached due to website incompatibilities), HTTPS, FTP, Mail (POP3, SMTP and IMAP), SSH and TELNET. Any protocol not mentioned above will receive a lower priority on the network.
- Unshaped - This service will offer you unshaped international bandwidth and a higher data transfer rate. The unshaped service will not shape the un-cached protocols. All protocols will therefore share the available bandwidth equally. Similarly, local bandwidth will remain as is with no shaping implemented. Keeping this in mind, this service is typically designed for a niche market including, for example, your typical Forex Trader, specific gaming applications, secure work from home options and VPN's. All these applications can use unfamiliar protocols, which are not necessarily bandwidth intensive but require an unshaped service to work optimally.
- Capping - Your ADSL usage is determined by all traffic you generated by a given username and includes the upload (sending), download (receiving) as well as network and protocol overheads. The same process applies to both the shaped and unshaped service. Capping is determined over a calendar month. As such, monthly usage is accumulated during the period and reset according to your service subscription. At the beginning of each period the usage tracker is reset and any restrictions that might have been imposed would be lifted.
- IP Address - ADSL users are assigned a single dynamic IP address, each time they log in. This means that the IP address of an ADSL user may change, each time the user logs in. This prevents the hosting of servers (for instance a mail server) at the customer's premises. ADSL users need to make use of an ISP-hosted mail server, in order to receive email.
