DO NOT USE

Absolutely *********. These guys need to be fined by ICASA.

I've been a home-connect client for the last 5 years and their service has declined exponentially.

PLEASE DO NOT deal with these guys. You're better off literally anywhere else. They take no ownership or responsibility for faults, and you NEVER get the speed you are promised (and SOLD). Not to mention that they are around 80% more expensive than other fiber providers.

My line speed was doubled twice (and my monthly repayments increased at the same time) over the last 5 years - started at 20mb then doubled to 50mb in 2020 then was doubled to 100mb in 2022 (at R900/month). It's now been rolled-back to 50mb at the same price while Herotel charges R500/month for 50mb.

I've tried to resolve this for over a month now and have only been pushed from one team to another, and ZERO feedback or contact from an account manager. No concern for clients - they literally don't care if you stay or leave.

Don't stick around, go to greener pastures (any other provider is cheaper and actually tries to resolve issues).

This will be my last week as a home-connect client.

Everyone here giving you guys 5 stars or even mentioning something positive are new clients and have not experienced the circus that is home-connect.

I gave you guys a chance to price match only to be told that Herotel does not have coverage in the area. What a laugh.

Herotel have been installing ONT boxes in the units in my complex for the past few months and most of YOUR customers have moved their business to Herotel already.

Just another example of the service Home-Connect provides.

Good day Shaur. Unfortunately, we are unable to price match on a Closed Access Network. We are partnered with the Open Access Network Provider, Vumatel who own and manage the infrastructure in your complex. Thank you. Edit
