power down again this morning. I wondered if I could dial up using the modem in my laptop. Using TELKOM line with afrihost data. Don't want to chow my mobile data.

Also sitting without power at the moment. Afiak your telkom line will be down without electricity?

No it won't.

 

[akescpt]

Not necessarily. Some have battery backup.

Mine goes down without electricity. I'm not sure if I've tried again since I moved over to an MSAN though.

Then you should report it as a fault so that they can check those backup batteries.

My telephone line stays active during blackouts.

Well to whom should I report it to ? Telkom will just tell me it's not a priority.

My line is actually dead since last night's loadshedding and never recovered.
