Telkom Sales Staff Unable to Confirm Terms and Conditions of Fibre Deal Advertised

I am unable to obtain written confirmation from Telkom Sales staff regarding the terms and conditions of Telkom's January Big Deal promotion for 10Mbps Uncapped Fibre at R399/month.

I called the 10213 Telkom Sales line to enquire if the internet speed on this deal is throttled during peak times (between 6pm to 11pm) or not. I was told it is not throttled. When I asked for written confirmation of this, I was told to go into a Telkom Sales branch to request this because the call centre is unable to send e-mails.

I took the trouble to go into a Telkom Sales branch to enquire about this but the consultant seemed unsure whether the internet speed is throttled or not on this deal.

I then e-mailed a sales consultant at the Sales branch asking the same question, but the consultant simply rep**** to my e-mail with a link to the standard terms and conditions - I was not able to find the answer to my query.

Why does Telkom advertise deals if their sales staff are inadequately trained to respond to customer queries?

Reviewer Update
There's even more confusion from Telkom on this deal. On the website the deal explicitly states that the upload speed is up to 10Mbps. However, when you click on "Apply now" to sign-up for the deal, the upload speed is now 5Mbps.
