Rental for a Telkom business phone line increased from R269 to R283.80 (R248.95 excl. VAT).

Business DSL customers are required to pay for the line rental along with their broadband service.

“We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been able to keep our 2016 price increases to a minimum,” said Telkom.

Telkom said that while its business line rental fee is increasing, domestic call rates will remain unchanged for the second year in a row.
