Please help: Time to repair underground cable between Telkom box and Exchange

[memakda]

There is a problem with the underground cable between Telkom box and Exchange.
Technician made a not that there are "no workable spares"

Anyone knows how long this will take to resolve.
No one at Telkom can even give me an estimate of how long it will take.
I've messages @TelkomZA but he has gone MIA for the last week.

I've been trying since July to get a phone line installed at my premises.
can’t use wireless because we in a dead zone - but that’s another issue.

How long is a piece of string?

I waited just under 2 months in the beginning of this year after lightning damaged the line.

eventually they changed me over to an unused line.

and that was just the line from the Complex to the telkom box.

look into LTE, its your only hope.
