Just phoned, first guy I got to didn't know telkom has an ADSL checker so he forwarded me to some nice lady who asked for some details and then said they need to do something at the exchange which will happen within 2 days. Its after 5 so I know nothing is gonna happen today, but I'm hopeful for tomorrow

MMM, no idea if my line has been updated. I get the following message when I try the Telkom ADSL checker page.
"ADSL availability and maximum speed supported by your exchange cannot be determined at this stage, for residential please contact the ADSL call centre on 10210, for business please contact 10217."
Called the number and asked if they could reset my port. I reset my router as well, but no joy.
Any help?

At least we can now talk a lot better through Skype and even while sharing his screen which used to be impossible.
