Telkom's poor service delivery

After 15 years of intermittent ADSL connection we still have a terrible connection. After a short rain shower our service goes off for approximately 5 days. The technicians are well aware of the location of the cable fault. It seems as though when the fault dries up we get connected again. I wish they would repair this fault once and for all and save the frustration. If there was a better way of connecting to ADSL I would switch in a heartbeat.
