Incompetence to the extreme

Having moved house we arranged for Telkom to connect a phone line and instal fibre. We paid the deposits on the day of ordering, then 2 weeks later called to be told they hadn't realised we'd paid! Another few weeks later engineers come out who spend 3-4hrs looking to find connection points and then leave because they couldn't identify one. I speak to Telkom and told they need to send out a 'infrastructure' team . Another 2 weeks later I get a call for an appointment for a team to come out... They arrive and they're engineers not 'infrastructure' so again wonder around the property, can't find an access point so leave. I spend hrs trying to call Telkom, but every time I hold for 10 mins and get cut off!!! Telkom are happy to take our money but don't deliver!! Shocking. Such a shame they have an monopoly and there's not an alternative, otherwise Telkom would be out of business within days!!

The Telkom chaos continues. I've been on the phone for an hour and Telkom can only say it's in hand and have sent to the escalation dept. No date, no explanation, nothing. 5 weeks and they have my money but fail to deliver service. Even a letter of complaint hasn't jerked them into any action!!!

Telkom... Another 2 weeks and still have no phone line or internet!! No response from the numerous calls contour customer services. The only time I get somebody call me with another feeble excuse is when I put a message like this on social media...... t This is not customer services... It is reputational damage limitation on social media. Shame on you!!
