Terrible service from Telkom after upgrading to uncapped

I recently upgraded from a 20Mb/s, softcapped 100Gb monthly fibre package to uncapped 20Mb/s fibre package. After the upgrade, Telkom technical failed to reset the download limit on my account, from capped to uncapped, so now, although I am on an uncapped account (confirmed with sales twice), my service is being throttled by Telkom, as they are still using my old softcapped limit of 100Gb per month as my max allowable download limit. The result is that Telkom is now applying the fair usage policy on an uncapped account after using only 100Gb of data!! I confirmed with Telkom sales that the fair usage policy should only apply after using 1250Gb of data!

I have called Telkom 5 times to resolve this simple issue, without any success. I've had to explain this issue every time when calling the call centre, when eventually after the last call on 19/09/17, the call centre agent eventually logged a call with the TO2 department for action. I have now been waiting two days and again no response from anyone at Telkom. The case no is ********** 95.

Telkom has always provided great service in the past, but this time I am appalled by the complete lack of commitment from Telkom in resolving this very simple problem. Hopefully I can get some action by using this route????

This reply was sent via email to *** response Hello The issue is: Fair usage policy is being app**** to my internet usage when it shouldn’t be. My usage on my uncapped account for the month is just over 140gb, and according to Telkom sales, fair usage policy should only be app**** after using 1250Gb on an uncapped account. Telkom technical cannot seem to understand this and is unable to fix the issue. My assumption is that for some reason the Telkom system is still seeing the 100gb limit that I had on my capped account as the limt on my uncapped account and therefor is applying fair usage policy after only using 140gb of data on my uncapped account. The reference number is ********** 95, tel number in question in ********** 256 Like I said, I’ve made numerous calls to 10210 to resolve the issue...without any success
