Still no feedback from Telkom or Afrihost and ticket on Telkom website is closed as they obviously decided again that the fault has been rectified.....
This is not what I am paying over a grand a month for. End of May this issue is fixed, or I cancel my ADSL, Mifi and web hosting and go look elsewhere. Case closed.
