ADSL Line issues 2 Years no solution yet

It has been more than 2 years reporting faults on my DSL line with Telkom, every time there is a little bit of rain my 8Mb line drops to 2.2Mb / 2.8Mb, it gets fixes (TEMPORARILY) till the next bit of rain. I have now been told that I am to far from the exchange, if I am not Mistaken the exchange in Pretoria North is in Ben Viljoen street, I live in Brits road that is not even 2Km's, if it was the exchange then the line is supposed to work perfectly fine on 4Mb right? Well I have downgraded the line to a 4Mb in the past year but then I only get 1.5/Mb out of it when its rain season. I need a permanent solution to this, FIBRE!!! But no still waiting.... Please make this work for me

Hi I met the technician on Friday at my house.... he was very helpful and found that the cable from my home to the telkom pole was patches by a previous tech.... He replaced the whole cable and everything was working fine... Until this morning, the line speed is down again to between 2.2 & 2.8 Mb/s.... Problem not resolved yet
