Cell C fibre tot he home false advertising

Good Cell C I would just like to raise a concern. I signed up for a Cell C Fibre Package trough Frogfoot portal. I was contacted by CELL C and paperwork was prepared and setup for a Month to mont fiber package of R899 per month. After about 6 months from starting with the pakage I had to relocate and had to cancel my package as there was no support from Cell C in the area where i was relocating to and I was billed an amount of R4, 097.57 as a clawback fee. After phoning and emailing Cell C support personal about a 100 times (Cell C has the worst customer service I have ever experienced) one of the consultants told me that this is how Cell C is making their money back for the installation and equipment (one of the most unprofessional support consultants and customer should be treated with respect), I was also told by a different support consultant that I was on a 12-month contract. Again today I phoned customer support and was simply cut off with no help. As advertised by Cell C there is no hidden or startup cost as the installation is part of the package with the equipment. Please find the link below and attached a screenshot of advertised package. I refuse to pay the clawback amount as I was not notified from the start about any hidden cost (after Cell C advertises no hidden cost) and that I would be liable for an installation amount if the package was canceled before a certain period. I also had a look at my contract I signed, nowhere in the contract does it specifies or explains in the terms and conditions for Month to Month user but only explains claw back for 24 Moths subscribed users. I am happy to send back Cell C equipment that was installed back to wherever but I will not pay for something I was not made aware of or was informed off. https://www.frogfootfibre.com/frogfoot/myaccount/home/packages/viewPackage.jsp?prodId=134&preview=false&contractTerm=1 Please, can clarity be provided regarding your advertising and why the customer are suffering with claw back cost and absolutely no support from cell c to resolve this issue.

Cell C any response to this????

I have also sent Cell C facebook messenger a message, it’s been delivered but no answer. One of the worst providers ever.

Got a message from Cell C like a ticket was close.  Don’t understand how cell C can ask feedback if nothing has been done?????

Feels like i am never going to get to the end of this and Cell c is keep debiting my account.

So once again another week has gone by. Still no urgency from Cell C  to resolve this matter and the customer keeps suffering, account was debited for the second time this month after asking to stop all debt orders until this matter get resolved.

Poor service with no regard to their clients. Will just keep reversing your debit until this matter gets resolved.
