Three months ago I applied for ADSL I was told a month later they where waiting for Ports(Not Available)...Two months down the line...Still no ports available...Three months down the line Ports are available but now have to be asigned....One week ago:

Phoned Telkom: After 20 min: "I would like to find out the progress of my ADSL, here is the Ref No:xxxx" "Just hold on" I held on for 10 mins and realised I was cut off... I dialled again 20 min later "I would like to find out the progress of my ADSL and this time please don't cut me off, here is the Ref No:xxxx" "Just hold on" "Oh yes there are ports available still waiting for port asign" OH! but I must tell you that there's another platform" "What platform" "It's called the CMU or (CNU)" "Whats that, "It's when Telkom have to bring it closer" "I don't want Telkom Closer I want ADSL"... Call centre said they had phoned me to give me an update but They never made a single phone call to me otherwise I would not have phoned them...

Now I would like to ask anyone out there, What is this UMC or UNC all about and is this the final platform before I get ADSL?...OR is there still something else?...Thanks

I have applied five times in almost Three and a half years of waiting for ADSL and still counting...

Hi, UMC (AFC UMC 1000E) is the hardware telkom uses to supply you the DSL service from a Local street cabinet or small exchange. It provides the (Digital) local loop which is your phone service and with the right cards in the shelf your Adsl service as well.
