No Service/No connection - Pathetic CellC Fibre

CFibre - Worst ISP ever. From customer service to connection delivery - absolutely poor. I have a 20/20mb linr @ R949. 2yrs ago I signed up online and and paid with my credit card. Since then my credit was being debited. My card has now expired,my debit order bounced - Cell C disconnected me, despite me mailing them two months ago asking to update my card. Nevertheless, Monday,16 Nov CellC nicely disconnects my internet connection (without notice) not even an email or sms informing me that my debit order bounced. Anyway,I call in,I'm informed I must make payment,which I immediately do,email proof of payment (while on the phone with a CellC agent) receipt of payment received and I'm told services will be reconnected. Doesn't happen!! 5 days later still no internet. I've been calling in every single day about 3 times to follow up - nothing. Last night they conceded and said they're tried everything. I'm advised to call Vumatel. I call Vumatel and I'm informed that the lease expired (no idea what this means) So I call in,advise the agent, he says I'll be called back in 2 min - nothing. (in fact everytime I was told we'll call you back, I never was) This morning I call again, the agent says she can see nothing was logged and also informed me that they cannot call out since they're inbound only( hahaha,so why was I told about 8 times this week that I'll be called back) we'll this must be true because I was never called back. Needless to say, I spent close to R300 in airtime just to call in (with no resolution on my connectivity) I spent R400 on mobile data for my LTE router, just so that I could work from home. Cell C, through this poor experience, I can now understand why your business model has failed, in fact, with such poor service and delivery, you deserve it. I now requested that my service be cancelled so I can move to another ISP - still no feedback. Vodacom is willing to get me connected within 3 days, something you couldn't do in 5 days (Reconnect and existing client). So now I have to waste my time on hellopeter to get your attention. however, glad it's on here so that the public can read about my poor experience in dealing with CellC Fibre. #ifuselesswasabusiness

Hi, I was contacted by Mohmammed who advised me the lease was renewed and that my internet access should be working. I was out when I got the call, came home now to check and it's still not connecting. I switched off the power on the CPE and Router - still nothing. No internet connection, I just get redirected to the shop.vumatel.co.za when I try opening any website. So still, not resolved.

So what was yesterday's phone call about? I get contacted by one of your representatives telling me that the issue had been resolved and I should have an internet connection. Today is Sunday,I still don't have an internet connection. The only site I can access is shop.vumatel.co.za I've had enough of CellC's lies and inability to deliver a service. I pay R949 pm for this service yet it hasn't worked for 6 days straight??? I work from home and I'm dependant on a stable internet connection. Imagine how you would feel??? I sent in a request yesterday to have this month 2 month agreement cancelled. I no longer want to be CFibre client. Please just get this part right. Request to cancel: CF169873. Cancel this immediately so that I can switch to another ISP. Please don't contact me to rectify this,I'm not interested.

Tried calling your call centre this morning at 10am to follow up on my cancellation request. Been holding for 20min - no answer. What is the deal CellC? I just want this service cancelled seeing that you can't provide me with an internet connection. CF169873 CF169989 CF170059
