Speed fluctuations and a no care attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you would like stable and constant internet speed, rather use a different internet provider. Everything with the speed was perfectly fine until the name and debit order had to be changed from my spouse to mine. We didn't change the location, speed or anything, just the name on the account and debit order details. Since then the speed of our particular line has been fluctuating. I have lodged numerous complaints and checked with the other residents in our street who are using Home-Connect as well. Their speed was not fluctuating, but ours is. It always seems to be the same of day, at night between 19h00 and 22h00. Usually when we are not even streaming anything. Unshaped, unthrottled and uncapped apparently??????? I have requested technicians to come out and assess the connections at our residence and the exchange but was told to just reset the router each time. I am now SICK OF RESETTING MY ROUTER and want this fixed. So my advice to anyone, use someone else! They do not care about service provision.

UPDATE: Two technicians, Dembe and Mno, have contacted me. Screenshots of the fluctuations in speed were sent through to Mno on Sunday 18 July 2021 as per his request. No feedback on the issue was given. The internet worked fine for 1 week and then yet again, like clockwork, the speed was non existent on Sunday 25 July 2021 from 21h00. Always conveniently after hours when no technician is available to diagnose a problem. Neither Home-Connect nor Vumatel have offered to send out a technician to check the exchange or the lines as I have requested on numerous occasions. Needless to say, problem remains ongoing and unresolved.

No. This issue is still ongoing and has not been resolved. No Internet connection has been experienced for the past two nights in a row, being 2nd and 3rd August 2021. Suspiciously, these outages have occurred after 9pm out of your office hours when no one can run a "diagnostic test"!! As usual, nobody knows what the problem is and home connect blames Vumatel and Vumatel blames home connect! Pathetic!
