HORRIFIC SERVICE

I have been a very loyal client of Telkom for almost 2 years and recently got a call from their sales department to "Upgrade" my Uncapped LTE to Fibre since our area now has this available. I obviously agreed to upgrade, and they said it should take between 2 and 4 weeks for the technician to contact me for installation. Well I called them after 5 weeks since I haven't heard anything and after being passed from pillar to post I finally spoke to a very rude agent whom told me I have to wait to get approved by Telkom (what, am I applying for a loan!). I told her that it's been over 5 weeks, and after a heated conversation she asked me if I wanted to cancel as she will do this for me. I found this very unprofessional and rude to say the least. The weird thing is that my neighbour wasn't a member of Telkom and I told him about Telkom Fibre. He called and app****, and within 2 weeks had his line approved and installed. The message I'm getting is that Telkom is great at getting new clients hooked in, but the after sales service is S*(&t. It's been more than 2 months now and still no attempt or call from them. They should hire leaders that knows how to run a call centre business and that knows how to treat clients with respect. Calling the call centre is a joke! No one ever answers, and if they do they hang up on you. Catch a wake-up Telkom, there are other service providers also offering Fibre, and I'm sure they will be happy to get my business. I will never refer your services again as I have done with a lot of my friends and family before.

Hi Hazel, Today is the 6th of August and I still don't have feedback. I'm going to have to weigh my options to take my business elsewhere. I can't see what the issue is here, and if something small like this can't be resolved even if I complain on Hello Peter, then it leaves me with a bad taste. Unless I get the answer today I will have to cancel my contract with Telkom. Perhaps this is what you guys want. Then you don't have to deal with people like me that demands a service for their money To all the shoppers out there - First look around for other service providers before you join "Telkom". There are many providers out there that will gladly assist you even after sales

Please arrange for someone to call me to cancel my contract. Calling your customer care is a joke and I already found a company that is much cheaper and that is willing to do an installation within the next few days.

So is somone going to call me to cancel my contract, or do I just stop the payment at the bank?
