ADSL as dead as a mossie in Paarl

<p>Since my ADSL line has been "installed" and activated, 3 weeks ago, the line has only been up (internet) for 2 days. This is in Paarl, WC folks. </p> <p>I'm running out of patience with Telkom and having to call them each day just to leave a message for the technician that the line is still not working...</p> <p>Can someone please remind me why do we pay for this service?</p> <p>What is the alternative?</p> <p>This is my 2nd HP review. </p> <p>Help me please before I lose it... (and take you to court)</p> <p>And apparently this is a known problem in Paarl because the exchange is overloaded / outdated / maintenance required. No Telkom shop anymore in Paarl either.</p> <p>What can I do to help you?</p>
