TelkomZA

Depends on your ISP and what time of day it is. You're ISP might be slowing you down during high demand times, or your exchange is really busy. It's not uncommon for people to feel slower speeds anywhere between 6pm and 12pm

Hi
I would like to no. I have recently got me a 10Mbps ADSl uncapped line from Telkom. We stream mostly (Netflix, Showmax, YouTube, emails and search) Only 3 users at home (1 on ipad, 1 on TV and 1 on phone simultaneous or less)
My question, why do we experience sometimes buffering even if only 1 user are online. I test the speed (broadband speed test) at the time and it runs @ download 9.26 & upload 1.04. Not a tech savvy

I should've quoted you sorry, but the above post is directed towards your question
 
How can we follow up on a fibre order placed via an ISP? I have an OpenServe ref no but who can I give this number to?

Called Telkom but they can't see an order on their system, so I guess I need to contact OpenServe directly somehow.

ISP can't give me any more info other than the fact that its still "pending".
 
This used to be such an amazing place to get help with company so incompetent they dont even want the extra money from increasing line speed. Now i get ignored or just get someone that has no clue on how to assist through these channels

Its been almost 2!!!! months since i put an order in to upgrade line speed.

CHARL WHERE ARE YOU. PLEASE COME BACK. ALL IS FORGIVEN
 
Hi all. How long does it take when you pay your Telkom Account online using a credit card to show the correct balance owed? My amount due is still the same after 2 days. Is there a waiting period?
 
Any ideas?

Connection Information:
Link Status:
Disconnected
Last Error Message:
Could not bring up link

Line stats look good and normal.

Please help changing ADSL2PLUS Modulation to VDSL2 Modulation.
Order number 255078139A, 10Mb to 20Mb.

Ideally I want 40VDSL if I can just get the modulation changed.

10210 (Technical) refer you to 10213 (Sales) saying they must change my Profile from Multimode to VDSL2 first before they can do anything and ensure me that my exchange is VDSL compatible.
Sales say the exchange cannot do VDSL according to their coverage map but when you listen to what they say I should actually only be getting 4Mb ADSL. I am in a loop here with Telkom.

My line was "upgraded" from 10Mb ADSL to 20Mb ADSL (requested VDSL) last week and to be quite honest its no better, if not sluggish and certainly no benefit on the upload speed side (Still 1Mb) which was the whole point of the exercise in doing the change.

The installation address is the same as the postal address, 350 ...... Road. Found that my account had some legacy incorrect installation street number of 6?

Thanks in advance.

HI Ryan.
That would be super, just don't do twitter thing.
Perhaps you could refer him to this link perhaps, would be appreciated.
Looks like TelkomZA has his hands full in this thread.

Will do.
 
I am at wits end to try and upgrade my Telkom ADSL line to VDSL. Just spend again an hour in the Telkom store only to be told I need to complete a manual form that they can send to back office.

Why is this so hard? I had navigated throught the call centre 4 times, been to the store 2 times. And yet, I cannot get an order placed.

Hey man, checking in if the guys from Telkom sorted you out? They confirmed that they had passed on the info the MBB rep.

Not yet. Lets see what happens next week.
Prepared to give the 20Mb Up and 1Mb down ATM connection a month and decide if I should simply go back to 10Mb or stay with what I have now. Connection is stable at 20Mb ADSL, SNR and Attenuation look fine but then that was never the issue with my connection as I live very close to the exchange.
I think the MBB rep should know of my story, did sent PM and posted under his thread.

Thanks for your support Ryan, appreciated.
 
Hi,

I am trying to cancel data portion of my telkom account as I have moved to another ISP.
I did get a ref nr on my 5th attempt to fill out the online cancellation form.
How can I get telkom to action my request?

The ref nr. I have is: TIN1856058 : 23739009

No one has called me and I have idea how to get an update on this request.
