Service Cut on same day as statement (warning)

It is the small things that show a company’s attitude towards customers. A month ago, we were informed that if we keep a back up system (wireless) to the fibre connection, because it is so unreliable, we will be getting a “minor increase” of 133%. I was still unhappy about that automatic implementation when this month’s bill was due. I short paid by R199 as I wanted to maybe reduce the service to come back to the same monthly charge. Today I received a statement showing the R199 short on my bill with a R250 reconnection fee, invoice for the reconnection and notice of disconnection. As a business owner you can justify it. As a business owner that care for the client you would have given the client 24hrs to correct or dispute or change the service value to what the customer paid before, before disconnecting. I still believe the technicians on the floor do a great job, however the administrative and management approach to customer care, suck!

Reviewer Update
I never disputed that the account was short paid by the 16% increase Fliber implemented for this month. The notice of suspension, actual cut, invoice, statement and emails all were all the 9th of October, I have the proof. That was my point. Maybe give a 24hr grace period in future or phone the client. But like you said the auto system is set up like that to cut the client if not paid.
No I do not have additional questions, thank you.
