So i installed wifi in my home just under a month ago, and last week, it was struck by lightning, so i contacted telkom to come and sort it out. They advised that i would have to go into store to replace the router and that this has to come out of my own pocket as telkom does not cover it yet they cover accidental damage. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AS HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE LIGHTNING?????????? AND HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR ANOTHER ROUTER AND I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN WITH THEM FOR A MONTH !!!!
