Pathetic Cell C fibre

Cell C fibre, what pathetic service. My line just went down on Thursday 31/03 evening, thought it was no big deal and that it would come back. By Friday morning, still not back, called them in the evening when I was close to the router, turns out that it is an authentication error, so, totally their fault. BUT, the guys who can fix it only work Monday - Friday, so I was doomed to spending the whole weekend with no access, all the consultants could say was "sorry for the inconvenience", like robots. Come Monday (04/04) and still no word, sitting with no internet. I guess I'm still paying for this service then even though I can't use it? I also asked them to set up a debit on my account, not done! Also asked them to increase my line speed to 100/100, also not done but I guess I'm paying for the 'upgrade' as well. I had Telkom LTE for 5 years and that was never down for more than a few hours, what's your excuse Cell C?

I'm not sure what 'urgent' means to Cell C but still haven't had contact with them and still no internet, 120Hrs and counting. I'm pretty sure that these guys think it's still April fools day because this kind of service is quite a joke. Not sure how to escalate this further other than cancelling this contract and going with a better rated ISP, there was a reason these guys were the cheapest.

Good day Cell C
Still having issues with my invoice - I called the call center today, the contact was quite informative but couldn't resolve this mess. She transferred me to cancellations and I got cut off. Tried calling again and again, transferred and cut-off, its quite frustrating. Basically, the line upgrade request resulted in me having two contracts now - so, I don't know what I should pay for April (my initial bill [06/04] was for a full month of 50/50 and 15 days of 100/100 (45 day month, Wow). So now, I wonder if I will be billed for the two separate contracts. Can somebody please fix this once and for all? All I wanted was a line upgrade and a debit order on my account, why is this so hard to get right?

Hi
Unfortunately not as the call center agent I spoke to this morning couldn't assist and the line got dropped twice when trying to reach cancellations.
