Westcoast Internet

The first thing you will need is either a laptop or desktop computer, with either USB ports or the ability to connect to a network.
2. A Regular Phone Line                                            
     
Prepaid, DECT, ISDN or Junction Lines cannot be upgraded to ADSL. If you have any of these you will need to contact Telkom on 10219 to have your line adjusted.
.What you need to get
1. A Router                                                                 
    
This piece of hardware connects your computer to your phone line and handles the sending and receiving of data to and from the Internet.
2. An ADSL Upgrade for your line
   
In order to enjoy the speed and data capacity of broadband Internet you need to have your telephone line upgraded.
3. An ADSL Data Package
   
Think of it as your Internet “airtime”, but instead of minutes you have megabytes (1000 kilobytes) of data.
.
A note about our data packages...
Each of our data packages has a data cap, i.e. the number of megabytes included in the package. Depending on the package you choose,
when you reach your data cap you will either be cut off, or be allowed to continue browsing and pay a surcharge fee for excess
MBs used.
Surcharge fee pricing – R8.20 per 100MB for Freestyle and R15.90 per 100MB for
Freestyle+.
Want to make phone calls while online?
   
Then you will need a POTS Filter. Without this little device you will have noise on your line while you are connected to the internet.
How our bundles work
It's quite simple. Choose your preferred line speed, a router to suit your needs and a data package, add all the monthly prices together and you're done.

If the internet is the information superhighway, then your ADSL line is your lane. Every bit of information that is sent or received by your computer travels
 along your line, into your local exchange where it gets connected to the great network that is the internet. Have your line upgraded to ADSL, or have your existing ADSL line migrated to us, and we will handle any fault reporting. This means you make 1 call for all your needs – we'll look after you and your connection.
You just need to give us:
• The name of the telephone line owner, as it appears on the Telkom bill.
• The telephone number.
• The physical address of where the line is installed.
• Copy of the ID of the Telkom telephone account holder.

An ADSL router is by the most important piece of hardware you need to connect to the Internet. It's where the connection happens, where the information is encoded for transmission and decoded into a language your computer can understand. In the end: if you don't have a router, you don't have the internet.
The more computers you would like to connect, the more ports your router will need to have unless you are connecting wirelessly. Please bear in mind
that the more people that connect at the same time, the more traffic you will have to share on your line which will drop its performance
