It is with frustration that i write this complaint, as no one in the Telkom centre is competent to assist, all they can say is "call this dept" or hold on, or cut the call. this has been going on from August 2021, up until now 15:00 - no joy. no help, no one can explain to me what is going on, to add to my horror, i received an email on the 31st August 2021 stating "installation complete" what installation?? only to find out is for fibre, which i haven't given the go ahead, as i moved from my previous residence, the new place doesn't have conjut piping, the openserv tech Danny, also knows as he has been here numerous times, you can also contact him on *** , emails received Dear W MOHAMMED ALLI, Please note that your Telkom service number TIN*** is ready for use.

why am i being Charged/billed for a service i don't have? i would like to know who initiated this and under whose instruction as this is *****!!!! there is no phone line let alone fibre in my new house. How is it that TELKOM can just go ahead and debit a clients account for this huge amount for a non-service rendered??? Why does the statement say from MAY????? I was in the process of moving and requested that once I move this side I would be interested in fibre, however with the new premises built no pining done for the Telkom fibre lines I want FEEDBACK by today, if not I’m going to the ombudsman/the news etc. And to add on to my frustration im appalled at your call centre, there is only 1 person who was kind enough to help me, other cut me off, or just put me on hold and never come back.
What type of service is this, all I want is for you to put yourself in my shoes and get this issue RESOLVED ASAP. thank you
