What a bunch of *******'s - stay clear!

On the weekend I rented a movie via the boxoffice function. The funds were taken off my account and the movie was never made available. I sent an email immediately to *** - there is a problem with the box and the message keeps saying trying to be delivered but never does. I then used the chat function today to clarify what is going on and was told that by Clara that my signal was probably low - how?? Every other function went on to work except for the movie rental. She then said I had 24 hours to report it - I DID! not my fault your systems are not delivering the message. Even sent her screenshots of where I sent it. She then says sorry they are not refunding because I never called them. So where in your communication does it say call the call centre if there is a problem?? Thanks DSTV - you lost a Premium subscriber for R35! I have now requested my services be cancelled - clearly you need the R35 more than I do!
