Don't count chickens

[Sharkie 187]

So yesterday telkom came out to lay my new adsl lines.we disconnected our telkom line 5 years ao due to everyone in the house preferring to use our cellphones.telkom says there is a problem with underground cabling.i don't understand how this works or effects us.

Now after waiting for over a month,I have to wait another week or two and until this is done I still sit without my line

I'm sorry I'm really stupid but wtf does "don't count chickens" mean?

Dont count your chickens before they hatch
If the cable is faulty they will have to fix it .If you are lucky they can fix it and not have to wait even longer for them to replace it .
He expected the telkom guys to put his ADSL in to day because they arrived to do that.

I am still waiting on them to give me a call out date...and this all because they run the whole show,you can't even log a complaint, for that you wait on the line for an hour....blerrie ......
