Telkom connectivity down all over

<p>After my last rant Telkom actually came to the party, they replaced my entire DSL cable from the junction in the road, ADSL was ok-ish for a week or two. I run a monitoring server that checks via SNMP and so I can see every second exactly what the link is doing. Then the line dropped..</p> <p> </p> <p>I called to log a fault and the lady politely told me that the line was sync'd and if I wanted a call logged they would bill me. Being sure of my SNMP facts I said go ahead, make my day.</p> <p> </p> <p>A day later a guy called me up and said mmm yes, the line is bust, one of the pairs was broken. So much for the initial statememtn of that the line is sync'd.</p> <p> </p> <p>Here is the kicker though, since THAT repair my ADSL has never been better, I have had low latency and fantastc speed, man you could even stream 2 Netflix movies similtaneously, it was simply super. I was about to buy Telkom a box of chocolates but then today it was down again.</p> <p> </p> <p>I logged a call at 7 am since my wife works from Home on a Friday, the lady told me they have a server failure and their technicians are looking at it. Try again at 10 am.</p> <p> </p> <p>No problem I thought, I have a 3G router that my system fails to automatically if ADSL is down, problem is that Telkom 3G is also affected..</p> <p> </p> <p>So actually if we any fault tollerence I guess I need to go to a different ISP.</p> <p> </p> <p>Question is, Telkom, how long is this going to be down for?</p> <p> </p>
