Unable to cancel VDSL

I have been trying to cancel my VDSL line since Feb 16. I took out the contract in October 14. The line speed I took was a 40 meg line. At installation is was told I could only get 20 meg. 3 months later I was only getting 15 meg, but still paying for a 40 meg. In Feb my line was down and I was told that I need to downgrade the speed as I am 1.6km from the exchange and the speed is causing sink issues. I requested for the line to be cancelled on the 18 feb 16. I was charged for the full month at the end of Feb. When I contacted Telkom they said that I had to pay the full month but the cost would be reduced in March. Below is a copy of the chat. Mid April I went to the Fourways shop and asked them again to cancel from the 1 May. The line is still not cancelled. Could someone please help. Thank you for chatting to us.
