Down again

On Friday the 2nd of February, lightning severed the Telkom line running to my house. I reported it on Saturday. Monday afternoon I phoned and was told that it hasn't been picked up by a technician. On Wednesday they told me it has been logged as a area fault and could be fixed in the next week or two. but the operator then told me I can get a sim card from the Telkom store and use the USB fail over. I asked if there was a limit to the data, since I have an Uncapped ADSL line. The operator assured me that the sim card would then also be uncapped. But when I went to get the sim card they told me that it is only good for 1Gig. I find this highly unacceptable, as the reason for me taking uncapped internet in the first place is because I'm highly reliant on internet at home. With 1 gig I can't even watch a 1 hour episode on Netflix. I think it is only fair that the sim should be uncapped for the period of time my line is down.
