<p>I honestly don't even want to give Telkom a single star. Our household is on its 3rd week of on phones or Internet. What are we paying for? Vodacom data is ridiculously priced and on top of it all we are paying for a service we are not getting.</p> <p> </p> <p>Honestly cable theft is one thing, but 3 weeks.... surely as a huge company they should have a back up plan.</p> <p> </p> <p>Please note I am writing this on behalf of my whole household.</p>

I'm on week 4 now with no landline or Internet. This is so frustrating. I have no words. I can not be charged this month for no service of any kind.

Hi genali-claire-steenkamp:

We so sorry for the delay. Yes unfortunately cables were ****** in your area and normally these type of faults take a bit of time to resolve.

This is what you can do for now.

Visit any Telkom shop with your id book and proof of residence and ask for a Telkom Internet Integrated Sim Card. With this sim card you will be able to connect to Telkoms 3G/LTE network and use your normal TI monthly allocated data till your service is restored.

Regards

Tumelo

Best regards,

We have got one already, it is useless. Our full household cannot access it and the signal is goes up and down. On weekends ito terrible to connect and in the evenings it's just as painful. Quiet honestly, how would you feel if this was happening to you? I doubt you would be understanding for a month! This is a problem for my family too and there is business that needs to be done and it gets put on hold, all because our service provider (which we have been paying for years) has some cables ****** and doesn't have any backup plan and leaves you customers annoyed for over a month.... mmmmm I wonder if we should move to another service provider to avoid all this! We are honestly fed up... this is disgusting!

We have had other friends that had the same problem, but it only lasted a week! Obviously we fall under the "middle" class and cannot be more important than those in more "classy" areas!
