No LTE and billing queries closed with no resolution

<p>I have not experienced such bad customer care as @TelkomZA . I have logged 3 Billing queries, which are closed with no resolution. No care! I signed a 24 month LTE contract with Telkom in May. Biggest mistake ever! I have had endless problems and billing complaint, I call in because branches can't or won't help. I log a query. The query is closed with no feedback or resolution. I call in. Get told the query is closed as there is no problem.. THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!!! Last interaction was with a argumentative call centre agent who logged another query which has also been closed. I requested someone call me to resolve. Nothing. Since logging my last query I have now also experienced terrible speeds on my LTE. Would not surprise me if the contact centre agent did something to my account to cause bad speeds. I am paying for LTE but get worse speeds than my 3G ****le with another provider. I am fully covered by LTE as per the coverage guide and the Telkom sales person confirmed before I signed up. I was charged a device fee for the month of May even though I signed up on 29 May. I was not advised I would be charged a device fee as the device is free on the deal I signed for. All other months there is a credit for the device. There is NO CREDIT for the month of May. Firstly, how can you charge a device fee for a full month when I only signed 29 May? Secondly, how can you charge a device fee for a free device? Thirdly, how come there are credits for subsequent months but not for May? I honestly wish I could just hand the device and SIM card back and have the contract cancelled. I am paying R749 per month for a service that hardly works. I am saddened, disgusted, nauseated by this whole experience. Can someone please come back to me and advise... even better, tell me that I can cancel the contract as obviously your coverage guide is incorrect and the billing stuff up is just causing a sour taste in the mouth.</p>

I cannot read your message to me it is marked as private and I am logged in so I have no idea what you have said to me.

Hi there. Still waiting to hear from you. I got 2 missed calls yesterday while in a customer meeting. No further attempts at contacting me. I want you to cancel my LTE contract with Telkom! I am far from happy. I was advised that I am in a LTE coverage area. Sold a service that I cannot use. Web pages don't load. This is a useless service. Please cancel my LTE contract and I expect NO penalties as the service I was sold is useless and not what I was promised. My mobile phone on MTN gives me 50mb download on LTE. Telkom gives me less than 3mb on LTE. This is NOT the service I was sold! Please cancel my service, no penalties and no further debits. Let me know when I can hand the device in to my nearest Telkom store.

I want you to cancel my LTE contract. No service delivery since activation in May. I will NOT accept any penalties. ********* billing practice. Lies about service and coverage. Billing issues not resolved. Terrible bandwidth issues not resolved. I am no longer interested in your mobile service. Please advise. And as I said, I will NOT ACCEPT ANY PENALTIES due to your non delivery.
