I almost got a heartattack!

I finally decided to take the plunge and applied for ADSL a month ago. Called Telkom 2 weeks ago. They said they were still testing the line/equipment, blah, blah, blah. Fine, whatever. Called again today. They told me all the tests were done! I just have to wait for a techie to come and install it. Yippee! I might get ADSL within a week. So I went to the customer services branch where I applied, to find out when I can expect the installation. "Sorry Sir, but a port hasn't been installed yet. Call us once a MONTH, to find out when one is available." My left eye started twitching like Chief Inspector Dreifuss' in The Pink Panther...... I guess by "once a month", they meant "once a day". Yeah, that's what I'll do ;-)

you mean after reading this forum you still applied for "broadband" from Telkom ?

posted elsewhere that i have heard from a telkom source that close on 50% of the ports on their marconi dslams are not working...it may be quite a wait

Once a day sounds too little. Make it once an hour. And since 10219 is free, you can do it guilt free!

they going to stop copper cable theft and start DSLAM port theft ... will be more profitable

I just hope she was confused. I mean how can you test something that doesn't exist? ....
