Telkom services

<p>Well, As is with any bad rewiew lets start with a good old "Telkom SUCKS!" </p> <p> </p> <p>My family and I went into the telkom store at the pavillion 10days ago to apply for their R599 promo deal. (4mb uncapped adsl, landline+data) we were a little confused when the young lady told us that they were going to sms us the reference number. Now 10days later on the last day of the promo i decided to contact them on 10213 and find out whats going on. </p> <p> </p> <p>I was pleasantly surprised that i didnt have to hold for an opperator, it was almost instant! </p> <p>But thats when telkom's true face showed it's self... </p> <p>The young man was very nice and asked us for the account holders details (I was calling on my step-mothers behalf) only to be told that no such application had been entered onto their system. </p> <p>The people at pavillion had not even bothered to submit our application to have the phone and internet line installed. (I won't say typical but... Go figure. ) </p> <p> </p> <p>So here we sit in all our internetlessness glory preparing dinner... Wondering what is going to happen tomorrow when we go back there to enquire/complain... Lets hope they dont try to weasel their way out of it as i will (And only then) throw all my toys out the proverbial cot</p> <p> </p> <p>I will update this after i go to speak to them tomorrow. </p> <p>(i actually feel physically sick when i see this level of gross incompetence, is this what our great country is headed for? Is this common practice at telkom? Is it just me? </p> <p>-lets find out. </p>
