Due to the complete lack of customer care at Telkom our account was suspended on Friday but after a struggle with Telkom staff we managed to get the problem fixed.

Despite the fact that the line was shortly thereafter active we tried for a few hours without success to connect our ADSL service and this time took a written complaint to Telkom Factoria after a fax to Polla Small, the person responsible for the original disconnection, failed.

Despite the fact that the branch manager at Telkom Factoria insisted that everything was ok and that we just have to wait we discovered another couple of hours later that the ADSL connection is indeed suspended and wrote another letter to complain about that.

I personally delivered the written complaint to the Telkom Factoria branch manager but he seems to have such big head that he becomes angry because I dared to mention him in the letter and refused to help.

Personnel like this are a direct reflection on the qualities of Papi Molotsane as CEO of Telkom as it seems that the organization have nothing else in mind than to make a huge profit at the cost of quality staff and it’s customers.

In a way it’s ironic that such bad service can be to the benefit of the consumer because I managed to get ADSL connection within minutes from other company at a fraction of the price I used to pay Telkom for the same service.

The lesson from above is that, with such staff and high prices it’s indeed now time for the public to open their eyes and move to other companies with much better customer care and lower prices.
 
Nothing new perhaps but I for one am going to spread this as widely as possible. Already faxed it to Papi's fax number as well as those of a few top seniors, posted it on our hundreds of websites and email it to several senior Telkom staff too as well as some newspapers.

(The letter was wrote on an official SA Internet News Group letterhead so if they ignore even that....)

The whole goal is to make sure that old Papi started to realise that it gives HIM a bad name and record as CEO if his staff act in such way.

(The original problem was that my wallet etc was stollen minutes before I left on holiday with all personal and corporate credit cards etc. Not enough time to get new cards and arrange such things so I made payment arrangements with Telkom. Despite confirmation emails etc they anyway disconnected our business line for a mere R242 in arrears)
