Terrible service.

<p>Telkom fixed my line about 4-5 weeks ago after it was out completely. After the fix it was working better than it had ever worked. I was getting full 4mb speeds and my line didn't drop once. Until yesterday. </p> <p> </p> <p>Yesterday I was working online and my line dropped completely. I went outside to where my telephone line comes into my house and I noticed there was a telkom guy working in the line. I asked what he was doing and began to explain to him that my line had just dropped. He told me he was installing a line for someone across the road but didn't understand why my line had dropped. </p> <p> </p> <p>And since he left yesterday afternoon I haven't even been getting 1mb speeds. I am paying for a 4mb and not even getting close to it. </p> <p> </p> <p>The only reason I've come to hellopeter is because I cannot write a complaint on telkom.co.za. It tells me that I still have a complaint open from 4 weeks ago but that has since been resolved. </p> <p> </p> <p>I cannot express how annoying it is knowing at any moment your internet could drop without any explanation. I am fed up of dealing with terrible service and poorly s****ed technicians. </p>

Reviewer Update

Since I complained on the 15th Dec my internet has drastically unimproved. It has now completely dropped and has not even come on once.

My isp WebAfrica have advised me that the fault lies fully with telkom.

I run a bnb and cannot give any of my guests internet and must constantly apologize because of Telkom's complete lack of service.

How long must I wait and how many times do I have to complain before my internet works the way it's meant to?!
