Pathetic service from Telkom

In May 2018 I signed up with an agent of Telkom for a new data package deal contract of 40+40 gig per month. I used to be on 20+20gig but found my data running out every month between the 14th and 17th and therefore upgraded. In June, having the new 40+40 package, on the 16th my data was finished. I was upset but thought its fine. This month, July, on the 13th my data was finished again. I found it strange as I was away from home about six (6) days out of the 13 days of the month. I contacted the agent who I signed up with and she gave me numbers to call. When I did not get help from the numbers I phoned, I called her again asking for help. She went to the office and let me know, on Tuesday the 17th that it appears that Telkom has never upgraded me to the 40+40 package and I was still using the 20+20 package. She then told me that a case was logged. I know that it will take a long time for Telkom to resolve my issue, and in the meantime Im losing clients and income due to the fact that I depend on Internet for my income as Photographer and website designer. I also incurred extra costs last month and this month by using more than my pre-paid date bundle on my cellphone to read emails etc. I need my internet up and running today the 19th of July 2018!!

How pathetic Telkom has proved to be...AGAIN!!!! After this so-called response (above) on the 23rd of July, I have up to today (1 August) not heard a word from Telkom!!! Even worse is that that their branch in PE send me a sms asking me to rate the lady working in their branch. I rated her 0 (zero) and immediately I received another sms asking why the bad rating. I told them because I never ever spoke to this particular lady as no one has called me. I was then PHONED the next to to ask for explanation. Well, two sms's and a phone called regarding their service rating, but NO phone call or ANY communication regarding my problem!!!! PATHETIC TELKOM SERVICE!!!!!!!! I give you one more chance to settle this matter, and if not done, I will stop paying my contract fee, and you WILL NOT get any more payments out of me, even if you take me to court! On July 25, a rep from Telkom (who I know) came to my house trying to see if she can help. She could not, and she phoned Telkom and asked someone to help me. This guy, Lerato, spoke to me, telling lot of things for why my 40gig was depleted. Nothing of what he said made sense anyway. He said he will send my the layout of my usage for June and July. I immediately received the mail, with ONLY the layout for June. During our conversation I asked him if I could just reply to his mail if I have questions, which he confirmed. I send him an email back asking for July, but received nothing from him. I had few other issues on the layout, which I asked him about in another mail. That all happened on the 25th. On the 26th I send another mail, asking why he does not respond. Well, I have up to now, not received an answer or response from him or ANYONE at Telkom.
