Well all the way over here in east london we had no issues :)

Thats because you are 1000km away, and at the speed of Telkom "broadband", it will take 48-72 hours for the problem to reach you :)

AFAIK the Olivedale exchange has nothing to do with the Rosebank exchange,

wrong...
FYI all exchanges connect to each other and all data in SA is switched at Rosebank!
Please await my upcoming book about Telkom's transmission network before making assumptions

Agreed. I think the time it takes to solve the problem is a good indication of the company’s competence in these situations.

Agreed, and if Telkom can solve it in less than 9 days then they are better than WBS ;)

How can a cable fail? Unless some stupid Telkom techy cut the cable?

Maybe because there was data stuck in the cable? See here :D

Methinks this was how they they transfered the data as well

I'm sure it will be an interesting read I just hope your prose is of a warmer nature. :)
