Just thought I'd start a thread noting the improved service I've had with this number the last two times I've phoned it in the last week. Both times a representitive answered within a minute of me calling, unlike 2 months ago where I was waiting up to 45 minutes. Maybe this was just pure luck, so I'm keen to hear if anyone else has also noticed this or not... ?

But few Telkom compliments come without a complaint - When I gave the gentleman on the line my reference number for a progress enquiry, he actually asked me "Sorry Sir? Does it end with 0314 or 0514" - and when I confirmed that it was in fact 0314 he was in pure shock at how my fault which was opened on the 14th of April, was still not resolved, 60 days later. I asked him to do whatever he can, but somehow I still have my doubts that I'll have a Telkom line working in my house again until I move in 6 months time...
 
I phoned to log a call. The computer said there is a long waiting time and please type my number and it will phone back. And it DID! It is a very nice feature.

When I phoned to get progress they answered the helpline quickly as well.

hmm, big deal, so the "AUTOMATED" service has improved, the people answering the phones at desktop support are still about as useless as a grain of sand... for example, about an hour ago i got off the phone with one, after the cool automated service called me back, i explained to her that i cant sync over 2 megs all of a sudden... her answer...... "i can change your line to a 3 meg line?"

i cant even get over 2 megs without disconnecting, nevermind that ive had 4 meg adsl for 9 months perfectly stable and perfect speeds... her solution was to lower my line to a 3 meg....

pfft... like i said.. grain of sand.
