no ports at exchange???

[RooK]

My friend has been waiting for dsl line from the beginning of the year. Telkom have said there are no available ports in the Overport, Durban area and dsl would only be made available to customers in June. June has come and they have said work would only begin at the new exchange in August!

Is it possible to obtain a line from the existing exchange if someone cancels their line? Anyone has any contacts in telkom to help solve this frustrating issue? Thanx

Well said.

There's not much you can do. To provide extra ports they have to upgrade the exchange... and it's a costly thing... and knowing Telkom, one extra ADSL line isn't reason enough to upgrade the exchange any faster.

Does your friend have an order number? If not he must phone Telkom and insist on one.

No ADSL order number = no waiting applicants = no urgency!
