Phone line lying on the ground for over a week

<p>I reported a fault over a week ago, I was given a fault number 211CNK040317, (very smooth system btw).</p> <p> </p> <p>On Monday I phone to say that the phone line was on the ground, I was told that the line was 'been tested'.<br />I pointed out that there is nothing to test, the line is on the gound, it will never work...</p> <p> </p> <p>On Tuesday, I got an sms telling me that Telkom will attend to the faulty service.</p> <p> </p> <p>I called again, I was told that the technician was testing the line, again, I told them that the phone line was broken and lying on the the ground, there is nothing to test, it is on the ground!</p> <p> </p> <p>On Friday I got another SMS telling me that telkom is busy investigating the issue.</p> <p> </p> <p>What is there to investigate??? the phone line is on the ground, it needs to be reconnected.</p> <p> </p> <p>What else can we do to have this looked into???</p> <p><br />Again, the phone line is _on the ground_, there is nothing to test, nothing to investigate.</p> <p> </p> <p>It was working fine, then the line broke so my guess is that it just needs to be re-connected on the pole.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is very, very fustrating indeed.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now I have no phone, no internet, nothing, (and of course, I am been charged for it...)</p>

It has now been 11 days and nothing has been done, I have 2 reference numbers and nobody is doing anything about it.

Can someone come and re-connect the cable please?

Day 13, I now have 3 "reference" numbers, (all totally useless btw), I am paying for a service I am not getting, no internet, no landline, no phone, nothing.

The phone line is still on the ground... still not a soul has come to look at it or even contacted me.

The call center just repeats ... "... it in the hand of the technician", he must be a very busy man as I was told that 3 days ago...

It has been 18 days now, somone came on Friday, reattached the line, but clearly did not test it.

The phone line is noisy and the ADSL does not work properly, (if at all).

I have a 10Mb package and I am lucky if I get 0mb or 4mb, (it is a bit random).

So I reported a new fault, 270CNK210317.

Why was the last fault closed without someone asking me if it was done properly?

I am still paying for something I cannot use properly...
