Lack of service

<p>My elderly and sick neighbour has been without his landline for the past 3 weeks now. It is his only quick means of calling for assistance in an emergency, ot at least it would be if it worked.</p> <p>Calls to follow up progress on the fault and to escalate it on his behalf have been a waste of time with differing stories being given to me. Today I was told that no technician has been allocated to fix the fault, although it was ****fimed over 2 weeks ago that there was a line fault and the "line voltage is low".</p> <p>I hope that Telkom will not attempt to charge my neighbour for the line rental for this non-existent service.</p>

Reviewer Update

Thank you (the Tekom Media team) for your response.

I am relieved to say that my neighbour's phone started working this morning. It is unfortunate that it got to the stage that I felt obliged to resort to public media to generate some action because of the failure of the approved official channels to resolve the problem.
