I am a web developer. My ADSL line is a source of income, and Telkom's partial service robs me of my income. My ISP is in Centurion, and sometimes my local websites do not react because of my poor ADSL connection. My backup line is with Vodacom, but is costing me a fortune I cannot afford.

I do not expect anything above the normal. I just need the service I am paying for.

Thank you.
