Disgusting/ Disappointing service

I Got the Cell C router in Febuary of 2023, the promotion said, that I will pay R350, for two calendar months, the first month which is Febuary I paid R225.00 this was pro rated which made sense since I Started using the product on the 10th February and the following month which was March, I paid the R350 which was the promotion they had, now in April they charged me for the full amount which was at the time R699, which then I asked your promotion said I'd pay 350 for two calendar months, they said February was your first month I stated that I started during the month of February which was not a full calendar month, your promotion specifically said two calendar months now how is me starting during a month and suddenly it is calculated as a calendar month? I was not given an answer instead I was told that it counts which I did not undeIrstand because a calendar month is from the 1st day of that month till the last day. I also found out that they bill in-advance and I found that out when I was billed twice in one month. now today the 8th of may, My internet has been down contact the customer service which is Cell C to find the issue, they could not answer me telling me that they need to get InTouch with open serve to find out the issue, it has been over 4 hours, I called in three time no one could tell me what the issue was instead I was told that it take two working days for remote assistance and three to five working days for a technician to come to my home to check the issue. their service is useless they could not even tell ne what the issue is instead they do not know all they do know is that you should wait five working days for it to be resolved, it is as if they do not communicate with Openserve at all. I have had to stick with it because I need this service because I work from home. when considering fiber please do research Cell C needs to upgrade their service delivery. not being able to tell your customers what the issue is, is a problem. Also every time you call and speak to an Agent they all tell you different things, it is as if they are finding their way and have no idea how to resolve a problem.

I have had contact with your customer service and I have asked how long will it take for me to get a response on what caused my connectivity issue, they told me it would take 72 working hours, I asked are you saying 72 working hours and the consultant said yes, I said how many days would that he said it would be nine days. My issue is still not resolved over 17 hours later still no connection. I would like to know what caused this connection issue because it has hurt my work severely, I have read the Cell C month to Month contract and basically states Cell C will not be held liable for any damages that may occur due to none connectivity, yet you bill consumers in advance. whatever happens after matters not. I have two reference numbers that are not even the same from the same contact Centre which begs the question what is this and here are those reference numbers also I'm still waiting for your consultant to call me back. 362BRK080523 and ***. Another thing I need the calendar month issue explained to me properly because, it still makes no sense that you would promote that and not do it. why then not say two months instead of calendar months. I have had the worst service from your call center. the name of the Agent I spoke to was Andile.
