Weekend rains cause havoc for Telkom customers

yep, my line was losing sync every few minutes on saturday evening. sunday was working but somewhat slow and intermittent.

first rains and this is the result. We'r in for a very long summer :(
 
frustrated

Yeah, I had to wait 30 mins (and i mean t-h-i-r-t-y m-i-n-u-t-e-s) before I got through. The operator on the other side obviously had no clue what was wrong, which begs the question "why the **** did I make the call?"

Needless to say my ADSL will probably be down for the next week or so.:mad:

I am going to bill Telkom (on pro-rata calc, based on my line rental+ADSL monthly charge) for every day my line stays down.
 
Hhmm, yes, I heard of moisture on the lines that causes shorts to happen.
It's devastating.
:rolleyes:
 
Gotta love a telecoms network that gets taken down by a bit of rain. :D
