Pathetic Technical Support Service

Yesterday I got home to find that my WiFi was not working, my husband and I have a fibre contract with Cell C. After switching the CPE off and on a couple of times, I called Cell C technical support. After being put on hold for what seemed like an eternity, they proceeded to inform me that there was a connection problem in my area which turned out to be false. Vumatel confirmed that there was no issue in the area. I called cell c again and after bring put on hold again was told that there isn't a link going to my CPE from Vumatel. A ticket was apparently logged with Vumatel but the reference number CF008135 I got is not the Vumatel one and as such, they can't escalate my query. Now cell c has me on hold for the past 30 minutes and Noone can provide me with a Vumatel reference or tell me what's going on. I'm so disappointed in this service. My husband and I rely on our fibre to get our work and studies done but now we're stuck.

After hanging up and calling Cell C again, I finally got what I thought was the Vumatel reference number for the ticket that was logged by Cell C yesterday, only to find out that this ticket was in actual fact logged while I was on the phone with the man who helped me. Nothing had been done yesterday despite the fact that Cell C had informed me that the ticket was logged!!! This is very despicable service! If I hadn't persistently called Cell C and asked for the Vumatel reference so that I could personally escalate the issue, absolutely nothing would have been done!

With all due respect, interim feedback doesn't bring me back online. I've lost a full day now due to not being able to use my WiFi. Yesterday around this time is when I logged this complaint but my service hasn't been restored due to the fact that Vumatel only got it this morning after I'd called Cell C a 3rd time. I need my connectivity back, not to be called and told that you can't promise me anything.
