Pathetic ADSL Service from Telkom

I app**** for a 20MB Line from Telkom, they said no problem and they installed it. But after I got my line, they told me that I am 2.8km from the exchange. My line was fine at first but then started to degrade as time went by. I logged many calls, Technicians came out and nothing changed. I asked Telkom for a downgrade, they told me that someone would call me by the end of business day and someone did phone me a week after that. After a long struggle on the phone with someone who couldn't speak clearly, he told me I need to pay my account to be able to downgrade. That was on the 3rd of July. My debit order went off on the 25th of June and my account is paid in full. Telkom accounts did say I will be credited because of my problems but I paid for a full 20MB Line and I only got 7-8MB's on average when I am lucky. Before writing my review, my line is down to 0.5MB's and I'm paying full price for a 20MB Line. I think it would be better if Telkom would just cancel my account and I will find better service elsewhere.

Nothing from Telkom. Telkom, you have time until Wednesday, the 10th of July 2019 to fix my line and complete my request or I will stop my debit order and remove any and all Telkom hardware from my residence and I will find another ISP that is willing to give me decent service. You will not receive a single Rand from me after the due date and I will be paid back my losses.
