Telkom exchange NOT capable 10Mbps!!

[Xtm]

What a incompetent the telkom is. I placed an order for 10Mbps about 1 year ago. They said the exchange dont support 10mbps. currently paying R650 for 4mbps dsl is totally ripping off. openserve guys driving around everyday doing nothing.
can someone suggest good LTE isp for alternative route?

Hi there,

If you send me your address via private message I can check if you have Pure Connect dsl available and at what speeds they show it available.

Ahh my dsl days are a distant memory...(2 months ago)

I feel your pain.

Telkom lte speed tested like 2.85Mbps in my area. Openserve has the advantage if they really want to do their job they can rip of bloody copper and start fiber layout very quickly as they have underground structure built already.

Openserve knows that. They just have not got to you yet. And they don't have to first recover copper to lay fibre either. It will get to you some or other time .....

Milk ADSL while you are able to. the service is very very good as most of the infrastructure is now dedicated to a smaller and smaller pool of customers.

So what's your beef with the poor Openserve techs? do they look like they can just march into your local exchange and upgrade it to 10 Meg?

they getting paid for doing nothing? is that ok with you? its 1950 no its not.

What is not okay with me is the amount of rubbish you are spewing, Opeserve techs have nothing to do with your exchange that does not support 10meg, they just work there and some are most probably affected by the same issues.

Your ramblings about them getting paid for doing nothing are just that, ramblings of a frustrated person who is lashing out at everyone, you just forgot to blame the voters for Telkom not being able to give you 10meg.

Not often I agree with you but spot on. These rantings are pointless and tiresome.

Is that seems rubbish to you? are you openserve employee or for the telkom?

 

[deweyzeph]

I can assure you that Openserve technicians are not just driving around doing nothing. Your lack of a higher speed ADSL connection has nothing to do with them and everything to do with historical management decisions taken by people of a far higher pay-grade than them.

Stop talking utter kak please.

some of the best service I've ever received was from Openserve guys trying to install fibre for a client. Endless WA's from them keeping me posted ...even on a weekend where the one openserve guy tried to get hold of neigbours for access to a pole.

Most of these guys are outsourced contractors anyway.

They do good work.

 

[Geoff.D]

Openserve have decided, rightly or wrongly, that ADSL technologies are to be phased out.
That means exchange upgrades to ADSL2, 2+, VDSL, would have been cancelled.
That means all exchanges not yet upgraded at the time of the decision would not get the upgrade.
Now, the point has been reached where ADSL is actively being removed out of the network.
So raving at the staff you see on the ground is pointless.

I feel ya. I'm also stuck on 4Mb ADSL for R649 from Telkom. LTE is hardly available irt coverage in my boondocks area.
