Jenny Internet - Bad Service

Jenny Internet does not deserve any stars at all. For months after the installation of their equipment, I was getting way less mbps than what I was paying for on the farm. Eventually, when I started investigating and measuring the speed with different speed test engines I discovered I actually. got 1 or 2 mbps on the farm. I logged a ticket and they sent out a technical team to align my dish. They could not improve the speed and told me that the radio on the tower was not even signaling in my direction. Someone moved it after the installation because they were unaware of my connection. It then took them 25 days and only after I stopped my debit order to install a radio pointing in my direction. This was on 3 July. Since then I am battling and reporting and testing speed with 4 different speed testers and only this morning I got close to 15mbps. I immediately let them know at 09:00. At 12:55 they asked me to test again as they made minor changes. Well, back to square one again. 1 to 2 mbps.

Let me also add that my service was terminated on Saturday because of non-payment. It was after many threats and requests that I was credited for June, but it looks like July will go the same.

I also wrote numerous complaints to their Service Review on their website. Only positive comments make it to the review page though. You only get a private email from the market manager apologizing and making empty promises but you will not find one negative comment on that page.

I would like to thank Jenny Internet, especially Damon Vogel, Narine Venter, Gitesh Singh, and everyone else who assisted in resolving the problem. After they were able to get my connection from 2 to 10mbps they pointed out that there might be a problem between my router and the dish. The LAN cable was suspected but it turned out to be a Gizzu power backup device that limited the bitrate. I now finally have 14mbps plus, and will report if this changes. Thank you again for resolving the problem and also to Amanda and Mbali for responding.

Hi Mbali
It did take your team 25 days to fix the initial issue and for me to stop my debit order before something happened. While I'm thankful for the support, yesterday and today, I do not understand how the radio on the tower was turned away from me. Jenny Internet then left me hanging for almost a month before rectifying it. During this time I needed to explain to my employer why I could not connect to their VPN and join necessary video conferences. I would also want to test the speed of my connection to see if it remains where it is supposed to be, before upgrading my rating. I will report back here in a couple of weeks.

Best Regards
Gert
