TELKOM - Not repairing faults and technician close faults as resolved (TWICE)

<p>On 2017-03-05 I reported my Telkom ADSL "10mb" line, for only downloading at 1.5mb. A monthly subscription that adds up to almost R1200 p/m (line and internet service provider). A technician phoned after 5days informing that the wires were cut at the "box" and that all the phones in the area was off including my line (phone and ADSL) - DEAD. According to the technicial it will take 2 to 3 weeks to replace. To my surprice it was replaced within 7 days, and the technician was comming back to look at the problem again.........still waiting. When I looked at the Telkom app, it was closed as "solved", this prompted a second fault on the 28th of March 2017. I received one call that the technican will come and look at the problem..........still waiting. Today again I saw on the app that the fault was closed as "solved". I even went and bought another router to make sure all my equipment is in order. New router with the exact same problem. This prompted another fault report, spoke to a "Sibusiso", explained everything, she rebooted the ports and no fix. She opened another fault marked as "urgent" (same as previous fault). When I asked for a refference number I was informed it will be send to me via SMS and the phone was slammed down.......still waiting for the refference number. Previous refference numbers 72CRK050317 & 1008CRK280317. Now I am stuck with a bill of R1200 with a 1.5mb ADSL line......</p>

A week since the original post on Hello Peter. a private massage with telkom requeting proof that my line is not working correct.

Done everyting from my side and NOTHING from Telkom, except false promises and the lie that the fault has been escalated!! O and of cause the account!!

Nothing has been done to correct the fault that was originally reported 5 March 2017 to Telkm.

NOTHING HAPPEND!!!!!

SO I did the following:

1. Cancelled the internet service providing from telkom and moved to AXXESS, and they are cheaper as well (extra bonus)

2. Moved my ADSL line also to AXXESS, again cheaper.

3. Upgrade my 10mb ADSL to 20mb VDSL WITH AXXESS!

It is a pity I must have a landline with telkom, otherwise I would cancel that too!!!

Thanks to AXXESS for sorting out my problem within a hour!!!! (telkom could not do it in 7 weeks)
