Want to cancel an upgrade

On the 01st Dec i received a call from Telkom informing me my contract is at an end and i need to upgrade my contract to continue making use of the uncapped LTE product i had since 2015. The lady explained that there would be an increase to the monthly premium which was 599, will now be 799 (25% increase) i was told that i can cancel the upgrade if i was not happy.

After reviewing my finances i note i would not be able to award the increased monthly premiums and wish to cancel the upgrade.

I have been trying since the 2nd of December to contact Telkom to cancel the upgrade, i tried the online options including listing countless call me back requests.

I was told to dial 10213 but no one ever answers even after waiting over 20min i cant seem to contact anyone who can assist, i tried other avenues and was shifted from pillar to post

I need to cancel this upgrade, as i can not afford the monthly premiums. Please help, im afraid the debit order will be deducted and i will be out of pocket

I submitted my initial complaint on Monday 11 Dec. When i left for work in the morning the internet was working fine. When i returned from work the internet was offline! strange in the 2 years of having the service i never had any issue's or difficulty connecting. When logging a fault with telkom (081180) i was first told that i have no reception in the area, or not in the coverage area. I literally can see the tower from my backyard! i was told to do a few changes to my modem setting in the hope that would resolve the error. Consultant was not technical, and proceeded to log a fault. (ref: ********** 8) told to wait 72 hours. 72 hours pass i call, agent states it's 72 business hours (9 days to resolve fault?????) New reference number issued (Ref: ********** 6) A week later(18/12/17) receive notification fault ********** 6 was closed status resolved. Contacted Telkom was told they tried calling me and left voice messages. I received no calls or voice messages. prepared to liaise with Vodacom as it's a blatant lie. Agent tells me i have no data left on my package hence i cant connect. reminded agent i have an uncapped smartboardband LTE product, i stressed the uncapped part as agent seemed confused. Response from agent... i will log a fault? i just did that and waited a week only to be told i need to do it again. New fault logged. ref: ********** 0. Pathetic is not the word that can describe this company and it's employees... it's a shame

Please assist my issue has not been resolved, I spent a lot of time speaking to various call center agents all promising to get back to me and I never hear from anyone. Can anyone please help! I been billed over R1000 for a service I usually pay 600 for and I have no recourse as no one can or is willing to assist
