Telkom mobile connectivity issues

Same here in PE, phone constantly switching between 4G, H+, H and 3G for past two days.
 
I was about to make a thread about this. The connectivity problems started two weeks ago for me. Phone loses connectivity at random or when the phone has been not in use for a long period. For example if left alone for an hour or longer it loses connectivity. Every morning I have to reboot the phone to be connected. Toggling airplane mode on and off doesn't help, it has to be rebooted. I asked two of my friends if they were experiencing any problems, both described my experiences. I and the one friend are in Pietermaritzburg the other is in Durban Central.

Erm nope they fark their stuff up every so often and we sit with terrible internet for weeks :mad:

And what’s worse is I cannot even get to my own websites hosted locally
Some idiot has really been let loose in their network again
 
Anyone still having issues in Cpt ? My Telkom mobile has no connectivity. LTE signal full bars but no internet access.
 
Yesterday afternoon I bought R355 worth of data. The money was deducted from my airtime but I received NO DATA?

This morning I called 180, held on for 40 minutes, nothing.

I then drove to the telkom front office. What a waste of time the only thing Louw Cloete (Wonderboom Junction, Pretoria shop) could say was that the system is down and there is nothing he could do. So I asked for their head office's number, they dont have one???? Regional office? nope, sorry.

This leaves me very concerned. It is clear that telkom mobile, once they have problems, provide f**k-all service. You cannot make contact with them.Period.

I suppose this is typical of an African country??

I am disgusted to say the least. :(

they did say they have system problems.. so just have to wait for telkom techs to resolve..

now imagine a call centre with just 200 staff on shift when u called in and theres already a waiting list of 50000 people, how long would it take for them to answer your call.. its not about the location! just be patient
