10mbps ADSL ****

<p>I had approached telkom on the 30th January 2017 for the promotional offer on the 10mbps fibre/ADSL. The consultant confirmed that fibre is not covered in my area and offered the ADSL. I continously confirmed that there isn't any additional charge and it's just the R799.00 that I will be paying monthly. I was then asked if I want this offer on a month to month or contract as there are costs involved with the month to month option. I confirmed the promotion on a contract basis. The technician was sent out for the installation and confirmed further that there isn't a cost to the installation however I have now received a telkom bill that stipulates an exceedingly high amount for installation and payment is expected immediately. This is ridiculous!!! An installation cost to just plug a few wires!!! I contacted the customer care and was told blatantly that there is a cost and it has to be paid or the line will be suspended.</p>

I won't be leaving it here, I am awaiting a response and thereafter there will be a consumer complaint lodged...it is expected that a consultant will call and I will be told the very same thing however in a nicer way however i would have to follow the necessary steps. I have proof of the ad etc. and us as consumers have rights, we should not just accept being misled

Further note, this '10mbps' line is not functioning at the speed I am paying for...it is pathetically slow at everything and I assume that there is a fault
