Telkom has announced at Rage Expo 2011 that they're finally bringing out uncapped ADSL products, revealing three uncapped ADSL products for users to choose from, according to DoGaming.

In addition to the above packages, Telkom also revealed the Battlefield 3 Uncapped Bundle, a time-limited promotion created specifically for gamers at Rage Expo 2011, and of course, Battlefield 3 fans.

The gaming bundle includes a free copy of Battlefield 3 on PC - no choice of a console version, unfortunately - a free 2TB external hard drive, a Up to 4Mbps ADSL line (R413) and a Up to 1Mbps uncapped account (R369) for R782 per month, or R369 for those already with a line. Be aware though, it is a 12 month contract.

While the offer is only valid for Rage Expo 2011 attendees, gamers who can't attend and want to take advantage of the promotion can still put their name down over here, and Telkom will get back to you.

What do you think of Telkom's uncapped offerings? Do you think they offer a worthwhile alternative over other uncapped offerings from Afrihost and Mweb? And will you be taking advantage of the Battlefield 3 Uncapped special? Let us know in the comments below.
