Thanks for this clarification.
It now makes sense to me.
What I do not recall is how local residents and businesses will be able to 
access use of fibre cables in future? Is that by applying to Telkom (when it is 
available)?
Regards,
Marc Turok

For the record, the "trenches in Trill Road" is a single trench, co-ordinated 
by the City's Electricity department as it primarily is for the installation of 
a new high voltage cable. The trench also will contain additional ducts for 
optic fibre cables, some belonging to the City and others to Telkom.

It is quite possible that some existing Telkom copper cables may have been 
damaged by this trenching work, but this would most likely have effected 
multiple homes, not just one in isolation.

Hope this helps.

  Hi Anique,


  There are cable trenches around your area as well and the likely cause.


  Whilst each WhatsApp group is autonomous most allow limited social messages 
or have social groups. In my area Telkom sorted out multiple problems reported 
in the past often quickly and adequately.

    Morning,

    My Telkom line was down for 3 weeks in a row in October; Telkom were so 
frustrating to deal with.  I have been applying for Telkom LTE for our office 
in Pinelands - 5 weeks later still waiting for the order to be approved!

    I wouldn't think to report Telkom issues in Whatsapp?  I understood these 
Whatsapp groups are for security issues Frank?

      Hi Pereira,

      There are two WhatsApp Street groups in Trill Road who did not report
      any Telkom problems.

      The Oxford Road Middle group reported problems which seems to have been
      sorted out within days.

      If you sent me privately your cell number and house number could ask the
      group to have you linked to their WA group to reach more persons about
      this problem.

          Hi everyone____

          __ __

          My mom has had her Telkom telephone service disrupted for the past 3
          weeks – lives in Trill Road – and all I get from Telkom is that they
          are sorting out the problem but its totalling unacceptable to wait
          this long for a repair to be done!!!!____

          __ __

          Is anyone else affected?  Thank you____
