Payment Made , Service not active

I made payment for one voucher on the 3rd of July, I logged a ticket as soon as I realized my service has not been activated the way it usually does after payment.

Few hours later Martha Cheka, picks up the payment and that there is another payment pending, surely if I paid for a voucher the service should be active regardless if the system reflects that there is another payment pending, clearly there is an issue with the system.

I have now been without service from Saturday which is highly unacceptable as I paid for service , and I work from home as many others do.

I am a great supporter of cool ideas, refer many client and even signed up 4 clients up myself, but the level of service received over this weekend, makes me rethink my support.

Many reviews reflect world class service received but service like this will ensure detractors.

A Lydia Ngakane responded 48 hours later with a flippant reply that there is an outage . I further confirmed a neighbour as well as another cool ideas client in the Mitchells Plain area has not been down with service due to an "outage " , this response will not be accepted as it does not resolve the query I have , It is extremely frustrating when clients are overtly shown they are not valued .

Due unattendance of my query/ticket after I rep**** as promptly as possible, I will not accept anything less than compensation for the days of inactive service and service to be restored immediately.

I have also emailed the complaints department .

I expect a response shortly or there will be no other recourse but to take it further.

Good day Feroza

We are sorry to hear of this frustration 

upon investigation we see that there was a general outage in your area at the weekend which contributed to a dealy in going in live there after there was an error on the system due to you requesting 2 services but only providing payment for one 

Our system is automative so when you pay it allocates it to a service and automatically goes live, if there are two services requested and a payment is short it wont activate the package. our team did reach out via email to you on your support ticket. 

we see your link is live an operational now

Reviewer Update
I will not except the excuse of an outage, and I did not request a second service to be activated, it was not my first time purchasing a service. I confirmed with the agent that the Mitchells Plain area was active and I confirmed with a neighbour and another Mitchells Plain resident, both of which I signed up myself for Fibre as I believed in the service and product.

I will not accept losing 3 days
