Step 1: Phone Line
To get ADSL you need to have a Telkom post-paid (non pre-paid) phone line installed.
If you already have a phone line go to the next step: ADSL Line >>
I don't have a phone line. Where to now?
Simply call Telkom on 10219 to order a post-paid phone line. Unfortunately, as much as we'd like to, we cannot do this on your behalf.
My phone line is a pre-paid phone line. Can I get ADSL with this line?
Unfortunately not. Your Telkom phone line must be on a post-paid account, not pre-paid.
Call Telkom on 10219 to convert to post-paid.
Your alternative to ADSL is a dial up account, click here >>
Step 2: ADSL Check
We were unable to check your line, you may continue with the signup,
but PC Format Live cannot guarantee that you will be able to make use of our products.
Proceed only if you are certain that your line supports ADSL

You could choose to use Dial up, or contact Telkom on 10219 to enquire about an ADSL capable line.

ADSL Line
You have a choice of three line speeds. The faster your line, the quicker you can download and surf, but the more expensive it is. If you're a new user then starting slow is the way to go. You can always upgrade to a faster line when you're ready to.ADSL Line Speed | Monthly Fee | Choose One | |||

Already got a line, but you'd like to migrate to us and save?
If you currently have your line with Telkom or another ISP and want it with us instead you can simply migrate the line to us.
Migrating to us is one simple phone call, telling your current ISP that you'd like to migrate your line back to Telkom. Once that's done, just let us know and we'll do the rest. This process is not only simple, but there should be no service interruption.
Step 3: Router
To Use ADSL You Need a Router
A router, like a modem, is a nifty gadget that connects your computer to your ADSL line. No router, no Internet!
We're offering you the choice of two types of ADSL routers:

Our wired router allows you to connect to the Internet from a fixed point in your home or office - ideal for desktop computers.

A wireless router gives you the freedom of connecting anywhere in your home or office (subject to the range of the wireless signal) - ideal for notebooks or desktops with a wireless adapter.

Step 4: Data
Which package is for me?
We can recommend a data package for you depending on what you are planning on using the Internet for.
