Good bye ADSL :(

[AthenianOwl]

My line has been dead for a whole week now. I was told that the main cable in my area was stolen again (2nd time).

So a few days ago I got a sms from Telkom that they are busy investigating all possible options to restore my service. I figure they will NOT replace the main cable in my area anymore (Not officially confirmed by Telkom).

Haha, it sucks big time

ADSL R.I.P. in pieces.

Sorry to hear that man, cable theft is the worst.

If it makes you feel better, I will be moving to New Zealand in 2 months time and will be getting a 100Mbit fiber line.

I heard in NZ they prefer stealing fibre optic cable.

I feel for you.

I love my slow fix. At least I don't stay in a high theft area anymore so telkom deciding it isnt worth it isnt a worry.

Go buy some Ethernet cable, ID your line and bloody well fix it yourself

Never sign contracts. Not even marriage contracts

Bump.

It's been 12 days and I'm still left without services Yesterday I got the following sms from Telkom.

Following message sent to *: Telkom has concluded its investigations. The cable in your area will be replaced and the restoration of your service is targeted for 2013/09/20.

I don't know if it's really a good news or not. Somebody from Telkom told me that it was severely damaged by a large wildfire :wtf: Is it really possible? How the F did the main underground cable got damaged by a wildfire? Please educate me.
