Hi can anyone please assist. I've been told that there's currently no ports in my area for Telkom to install an ADSL line. Can you believe this that a company like Telkom runs out of ports. A colleague of mine had the same problem and took Telkom to task and eventually got their ADSL line. I work from home and is in dire need of an ADSL line. I'm living in the Kuilsrivier Cape Town area which is a metropolitan suburb, so what's the problem? I don't think in this day and age we have to accept this kind of nonsense, especially when Telkom is the only service provider of these data lines. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated. What about a complaint to the Independent Communication Board or something? Thanks all!!!!

Why not expand your horizons and use another telecommunications operator?

Nevermind no ports, my DSLAM is dead and there are no spares... In the whole of Gauteng, no spares. Yup, nothing.

If you are limiting yourself to ADSL then yes, Telkom is your only network provider.
Question: did they give you a ref number or just fob you off?

It's a point to point internet provider, they set up a dish in your yard/on your house and you get to access the internet that way.

Place your order and insist on a ref number. Do not take no for an answer. They MUST give you a ref number.
