ADSL FAULT twice in a month!

<p>I had an ADSL fault for 13 days and when technician eventually came out on the 13th day she found it was our modem that was faulty. We were told all 13 days that it was an ADSL fault at the exchange and then we were told that it was a fault on our line once the exchange had been fixed. So if telkom had followed correct protocols on the day I reported the fault it would have been discovered it was our modem. So 13 days of no ADSL connectivity for no reason. DISAPPOINTING. We bought a modem that day and WOW our adsl was working....</p> <p> </p> <p>Then less than a week later another ADSL fault. This time it is the 8th day and still no resolution. Their excuse is that they have a high volume of faults. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have a business. There should be quick turn around times for businesses. </p> <p> </p> <p>I am so angry as every time I phone there is an excuse. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have asked for 4 supervisors to call me back and still waiting for those supervisors to call back. </p> <p>Denny, ad Mbali are 2 supervisors I am still waiting to call me back.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mbali told me that there woul dbe a technician arriving at my business on Satruday 3 DEcember by 11am. He arranged this with me as my business is closed so I had to have an employee on standby to come to the premises to open up for a technician. NO TECHNICIAN arrived.</p> <p> </p> <p>It seems that escalations are not dealt with the weverity that they should be.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is shocking service. Why must we put up with it? Because they are the only providers of ADSL lines.</p> <p>I wish I did not have to rely on Telkom for an ADSL line let a lone a fixed line.</p>

Hello,

A technician came out on 7 December and said the line was not faulty. We returned our new modem which was tested to not be faulty thus we cannot return it. So it is not the line, it is not the modem. But the adsl line does not sync with the service provider.

Thus I have asked for another technician to come out. This was supposed to happen today. And guess what? He never came. Now I am told he will come out tomorrow.

So in total I have not had adsl line working for 25 days now.

This fault still has not been resolved. This is shocking service.

The technician did not come out on 10 dEcember as promised. And still to date nothing.

This is now 32 days without ADSL line. Appalling service! And no one from telkom has bothered to help.

Hello,

This fauly is now 64 days old. I have still no ADSL line from 10 November 2016.

This is unacceptable. Why can Telkom not resolve this issue?

I have countless calls to 10217 without useless customer care agents. Telkom employees cannot do their job properly.
