    What to do when Telkom won’t cancel your line

    I retired, cancelled 2 numbers >2 years ago, went for a holiday, came back and found they had been debiting me for 3 months. I had phoned both numbers after cancellation and found them "unobtainable". Since then I have been hounded by one credit bureau after another, manned either by mental...

    VOIP/LTE

    I can't even use WhatsApp on RAIN as the signal comes and goes. Can you recommend other ISPs who offer VOIP? No likelihood of fibre soon where we are in Margate KZN

    What would you do with SAA if you were President?

    There is no need for any state-owned airline anywhere. If people want to travel by air the demand will create the supply. For example BA is not British-government owned.

    Please Rate Vox

    Vox is an odd ISP. Technical good, admin terrible. Fibre: Internet and fibre phone in Jhbg: The signal and VOIP are constant, (unlike Mweb whom I left when my 5 MB/s fibre was repeatedly in the KB/s range), But to get it I had to put up with with often bad, unintelligent and uninterested...

    What to do when Telkom won’t cancel your line

    I did with Telkom at FNB, and it worked, but they charged me. Telkom then started dunning me for debt for the imaginary line, and I've been at it for six repeat six months. When I feel stronger I'll list the events.
