Telkom Loadshedding?

[TheBossMan]

Hi Guys

I am not one of those tin foil hat type of people...

But I am seriously starting to believe that Telkom is up to some type of Loadshedding type of BS in our area.
1 - 3 Month outages of Phone / ADSL lines is becoming a normal occurrence now for most people I know in our area.

If your number comes up for being switched off get ready for 1 - 3 month wait without lines.
They should hand out Vaseline with out Telkom bills, because getting screwed by Telkom is now a normal part of life.

Area fault my back side, I have checked most people in our street and they all working even people that link up to the same pole as us. Please explain area fault when people from the same pole can be online?

Is your fault listed under the noticeboard or your area under planned work [upgrades/maintenance]?

I check that noticeboard almost daily and faults popup quite often but no excuse for the area going down so hopefully someone can shed some light. What area are you in OP?

Haha nothing on Telkom noticeboard. But then again Telkom telkom talking so much BS, can't trust them on anything they say.

I got told the other day it looks like my line is synching, but there are not even any dial tone.

3 different ETA expired already. Because their useless ETA, I wonder if I should send my ISP invoices to Telkom to pay? Due ti their fake ETA dates paying ISP for nothing, cause can't use their account.

They are actually busy doing Fibre infrastructure at the moment. According to the splicing team that was across the road from my house last week, we still have to wait like another 2 - 3 months before go-live.
