Total lack of support for billing and technical inquiries from Cell-C Fibre

I subscribed to Cell-C Fibre about a year ago. Since then, although I've had no complaints re the fibre connection (Vumatel), I've had a couple of issues:

1. The supp**** WiFi router needs to be reset every 3-4 days (turn off power, wait 1 minute, turn it back on) otherwise neither the WiFi or ethernet ports will allow any internet traffic. 2. After struggling for a number of months to access my invoices (only available online, and apparently easily accessible if you are a Cell-C cellular subscriber, which I am not), only to find that I've been double billed for my Fibre connection (2 connections - no wonder my account is so high). I've been trying to get a hold of anyone at Cell-C since August 2018 - to no avail. There is just no answer to any email to the account department. There is no answer from the "account manager" on her email address. I did speak to a consultant (cost me nearly a R100 phoning them as the only number available is free to, guess who, Cell-C Cellular subscribers), only for the person to tell me that I need to contact the account manager, but that he will also notify her as well as the support/accounts department as to my problems and that they will contact me. This has not happened since August 2018. I recently, around two weeks ago, again started this whole process and actually have two support tickets logged!!! BOTH of them (in the email I received) stating that they (Cell-C) will be in contact "shortly". Now, in my mind "shortly" means a couple of hours, or at least by the middle of the next business day - I've had no contact from them whatsoever!

Hi Update: 1. Technical Issue I apparently have to send an e-mail when the issue occurs to ********** - they will then call me back (not sure how this is going to work at 11pm,,,) 2. Billing issue This has been forwarded to the Billing/Accounts department for attention. Both of these happened during the course of yesterday. No further contact re the billing enquiry and account rectification has yet been received. The lady that contacted me, I must add, was very polite and helpful and made a couple of calls during the course of yesterday to ensure that progress has been made. I'm very happy with her assistance!

Note: I've had NO further feedback from the billing/account department!!! I wonder, how long does it take to use a computer system and rectify a single account!
