123Net Fiber has the worst customer service

Very bad customer support service. I have been with 123Net for almost 2 years now. Each time I report an issue with speed they always find a way to try and up-sell you a package without resolving your issue. Last year they forced my hand to move to a higher package when I complained that the speed was slow yet I have been using the old package for a year, no new user added to the network nor new devices; still same setup and all of a sudden I have to upgrade to a higher package they couldn’t really give me a valid reason to why all of a sudden my speed had dropped. Recently I had an issue with Showmax stopped working on the 123net fiber WiFi. I did the basic test such as restarting the router and TV even my phone ( since I have showmax app on the phone ) before reporting the issue . Even with that , the first answer from customer service was “ do you have a booster “? “Did you restart the router ? Is it close to your Tv? What kind of incompetency is that ? When I clearly stated that I tried it on the phone using WiFi it didn’t work but it works on Vodacom 3G for that matter. Like really ? I have had the setup and it worked without the booster, no cable but customer support advise was that I get a booster or use cables because “Netflix and Showmax “ usually works better on cables . In my home it worked wirelessly for 2 years and I have to change setups because the customer service agent could not resolve my issue. Very *********** as always . I’m still with them because they are the only fiber service provider in my area. As soon as there is a new fiber service provider I’m leaving as I can’t deal with a company that only cares about making money out of the customer than resolving the issues efficiently.

Unfortunately, we do not guarantee Showmax services. Even if it worked on other networks, this doesn't mean they do not have a problem with their own capacity.
I will respond to your ticket and explain to you in detail how the network actually works.
Our Customer service is trying its best. Always.

Reviewer Update
You didn’t prove me any wrong. As I have said , you people are always on the defensive. Now you are trying teach me how it works while I have been dealing with your customer service agent since 2PM and they keep asking me questions like “ is your router close to your TV”? “Did you restart your TV”? “ do you have a booster “? When I opened the ticked i did give all the details. It’s been open since 2PM and I had to write a review on hello peter for someone to decide to respond to my ticket at 9pm?
I wonder what kind of service that is. Again I repeat it, all the experiences I have had with you as a company are really bad and I’m only sticking because you are the only provider in my area at the moment

I can't prove you wrong in 300 symbols. That's why I rep**** to you on the ticket. I sent you your 2 years bandwidth usage graphs to see how you were maxing the 5 megabits and we advised you to upgrade if you want to have a better service.
