Cant contact to cancell service

I have a 10 mb fiber service from Telkom, which has been *****, for +- two days a month typically does not work, and I have tried to watch online content but way to slow, although annoying , the thought of trying to contact customer service has bee more fearsome than the frustrations with the service.

Saturday 28 oct night we had a power failure in Pinelands, power restored some 6 hours later and internet would not come on. on Monday 30 oct I contacted Telkom to report Fiber not working and they told me Account was suspended and no they cant help me or tell me why. I need to contact accounts. After waiting the standard 20 minutes on phone I eventually get trough the someone who goes through my details and then says my account suspended for an amount of R900 and puts the phone down. I have no idea how or where they get this amount from as all debit orders have been honoured. I lost my sense of humor at that point and decided to cancel all my services with the Company I contacted 8ta call centre and spoke to a Thabiso Mohlakoana a Customer Service Representative, who very kindly sent me a Cancellation form and the email address of the people I should send this to.

I sent this on Monday 28 th and again on Thursday 2nd(Today) and received no conformation of receipt. I have phoned 10210 this morning and lady said she could not help I need to contact Fiber dept ( Who are they?) I have also driven to the Telkom store in Tygervall only to be told they cannot help me, they are only a sales office. The service has been on debit order since its inception, and I Note they have taken the debit order yesterday on the 1st. However I don't have a service.

I want nothing further to do with this company, I would like my Mobile number release, and the fiber port released so that I can switch provider.

How do you get a response from this dreadful company.

Thanks for the call Cellwe. I still have not had an acknowledgment of receipt of MY Cancellation form. and am waiting for the email you said you would forward detailing the process I need to follow to make this happen. I need someone I can communicate with. A name and an email address, preferably a contact number as well.

Hi Telkom. Is there no one who can understand English? What is going on, On 30 October I requested that my Telecom services be cancelled . to date I have had one phone call about a week ago from someone I could not understand. She said she would commit our conversation to Email and update me. ( Nothing received ). It would appear that all staff have been told not to commit promises/conversations to clients in text, for fear of taking Telkom to court. Can someone please commit something to text and let me know what is going on. Frustrated and unhappy client.
