Wireless 50GB Contract
<p>8 months ago I took out your 50gb Wireless Contract. This was done over the phone. Please check your phone records to varify the details of what was promised to me when I entered into this contract.</p> <p>I was promised upto 90mbps speed - for the past 8 months I average around 5-10mbps speed.</p> <p>I was promised that after 2 months I could upgrade to UnCapped - I am now told I can't upgrade to uncapped.</p> <p>I was promised an e-mail address - shortly after taking out the contract I was told that I don't get an email address.</p> <p>I tried to cancel the contract - I was told there will be penalties and I have to cancel in-store.</p> <p>It seems that once Telkom has hooked you into their contract with false promises, you are stuck with them ?</p> <p>I have honoured my part of the contract by paying R699 every month. What I now need is for Telkom to honour their end of the deal by increasing my speed from 10mbps to atleast 50 - 60mbps. The problem is not with the equipment. The problem is that the tower that I am connected to has been over-subscribed. I started off at around 30mbps. Over time, as more users were added, my speed dropped. At one point it was below 2mbps. I have installed an external antenna and my signal is strong, so please don't tell me again you need to check my equipment. You can refer back to the numerous calls that have been logged over the past 8 months.</p> <p>The second thing that I need is for you to honour the promise to upgrade me to uncapped. The price was R799.</p> <p>At this point in time, the option to cancel is not practical as I have cancelled my ADSL line. To get another one will take months. Unless you can offer me uncapped Fiber at the same rate.</p> <p> </p> <p>I look forward to your solutions to my problem.</p>

Best regards,
Busi, thank you for your reply.
Please can you ask your network team which tower my device is mapped too and how many users do they currently have on that tower.
As I said before, my speed started at 30mbps in Aug 2016. Since then it has slowly dropped. Nothing has changed or moved on my side. For this to happen can only mean that I am sharing with more and more users.
I don't understand why there are no uncapped "spots" available ? I took out the contract on the promise that I could upgrade after 2 months. Telkom needs to honour that promise by simply ticking the box on my Account that says "uncapped". I know why there are no spots available. It's because the 100GB deal costs around R1100 but the uncapped deal cost only R799.
If the network team are happy with 10mbps out of a possible 90mbps, then I am afraid I need to move to another system. I can't see the logic in paying R699 for 10 - 15 % of the speed ?
Please ask the network team to send me the details, such as which tower and how many users.
