Consistent failure to resolve fault

Was having an issue with high latency on my Telkom line with my ping randomly spiking to over 1000ms to local servers.

I logged the fault with the online fault reporting system (that has no way of actually giving any details about the fault). Unfortunately I was unavailable to take the call two days later due to being in hospital, and asked if they would please call me back later. I then received a message telling me the fault was fixed and the ticket closed. Nothing had actually changed.

I tried to use the Telkom live chat function to get the issue seen to, and was told they would look into the problem. The way they seem to have fixed my latency issue was by cutting off my internet connection entirely. Spent 25 minutes on hold waiting to talk to someone at the call center before I ran out of call-time on my phone, so here I am.

I need someone to fix this. Please.

Here is a copy of a tracert showing my initial latency issues.

Looks like the social media team has started Christmas early, no responses to anyone since end of November. Guess faults will get looked into when they are back from their holidays in the new year? -_-

Hi AbigorWyrven,

I have made some changes to the line profile that will improve the internet connection.

Please reboot the ADSL modem and check the internet speeds.
