**** service for new clients

Hi,

I'm thinking I made the biggest mistake signing up to Telkoms Unlimited deal for Landline and uncapped ADSL. On 31 Aug 2018 I signed at the Telkom Mutual Park store in Pineland Capetown, I was informed by the sales lady that it would take a few days for latest 07/09/2018. On the 04/09/2018 I received a sms confirming my landline account was switched over . On 07/09/2018 I received my adsl username and password , in which I collected my Telkom ADSL router from the store , I was informed to follow the installation steps on the route and I would be connect to Telkom internet. The evening of the 07/09/2018 I tried installing the router with no success I contacted Telkom tech support only to be told that I require a TIN number (Telkom internet number) I should contact the sales team and only then can tech support can assist. I contacted Telkom sales on 08/09/2018 which they were unable to assist due to there systems being offline they were unable to provide TIN. On 10/09/2018 I went back to Telkom store collected my TIN number an was assured that my Adsl is active and would arrange a tech support callback. The tech support agent informed that he cannot assist as the TIN number was still not active. What **** service , if I had gone to another ADSL provider I would of been connected in 48hrs. I cant believe how bad the service Telkom provide to new clients, the Tech support agent advise to allow 24 hours , that if I'm not connected will be cancelling the whole deal as it costing more data on my wife and my cell phone

Hi Hazel Still no ADSL service from Telkom what a waste of time, i eventually returned router n cancelled the ADSL deal on 14 Sep 2018. 14 days without ADSL. My new provider could active my ADSL in less in 48hrs but Telkom decided to place a ADSL hold on my line, i was told its going take another 30 days. I cant believe how bad Telkom service is. Please can u release my ADSL line if not i will take the matter further for not providing ADSL service n blocking my line for another provider
