Anybody have any news or info on the ADSL service that is currently down in PTA, Arcadia?

The ADSL has been down since Friday afternoon and is still down. Rumor has it that a line was flooded in Clubview but I dont know if this is connected.

Any info would be appreciated.
 
Hi Wolfling. Arcadia and Hatfield has had problems for a couple of days, we have several sites down in PTA. There has been problems with diginet lines in this area aswell. Telkom when phoned says that they have a network failure!!

Cheers
 
Thanks for the info.

I phoned the Fault Reporting line, they say that they have had no reports of this (well not today at least).

Have anybody here actualy reported this problem? If so can you give me a bit of detail (pm me if you want). I want to phone them again with 20 odd reference numbers and ask them what this story is that nobody has reported it yet...
 
Also had problems over the weekend in Centurion, but everything was up and running again Sun afternoon
 
I am at work, Brooklyn pretoria which uses a diginet line, and my adsl line at home constantia park pretoria was working fine and still do.

Thats from work to home, however work line is quite busy during the day.
 
This officialy in from the Telkom help desk: "At present we are still waiting for a technician to become available to service your call. Due to the high volume of faults in the Johannesburg and Pretoria region we cannot currently give a time when a technician will be available."
 
Wolfling. I have 7 refference numbers for calls with telkom helpline. They are still down in Arcadia/Hatfield. We have been told that a technician went to fetch a spare in JHB. They have been down since Friday. I am only aware of lines down in Arcadia/Hatfield.
 
I am in Johannesburg (Fourways) and have been down due to a "network failure" since Friday.
 
Just heard of another business that has been down from the 3rd...

Anybody here have a good contact for a 3G PCI card?
 
My ADSL line is dropping every 2 hours or so. The worst was yesterday .. it was off for +-3 hours. Centurion ADSL seem to have a problem :(
 
Pretoria still experiencing problems.
List your Telkom ref here and I will have a techie bother Telkom the whole day. I will have them try and esculate all calls!! I have several ref no myself. Some from 090206.
183ARK090206, 231ARK100206, 25ATK100206, 64ATK100206, 67ATK100206
 
Well apparently a little bit of sabre ratling and threating with legal action and cancelling the account helps. Our service just came on again, 13:30, 30 minutes before the deadline I set them earlier today. :)
 
Yeah Pta area, had some big problems yesterday! Heard some rumors they (telcom) are installing new atm gear, will have to see!

Hehe ok xdsluser, confirmed the rumor should have read!
