Shocking

I feel super conflicted while writing this review. I had such fantastic service delivery from the company for years, but when it comes to customer service it's really poor.

I canceled my account in April and paid for the month's notice, I was informed that I had to return the router to the company as it was their property which was fine, I had no issue in doing so.

I accidentally forgot to get the router back to them, as I got busy with WORK and had to travel for WORK, making it super difficult to check my personal emails.

It was only two weeks late, and suddenly I got handed over to a DEBT COLLECTORS COMPANY. Like seriously? I paid my account/invoices on time ALWAYS and they didn't have the decency to just try and phone me before taking it to that level.

Now I get charged for the fee of the Debt Collectors company which I find absolutely ridiculous. But nevertheless, I will HAVE to pay for it, but as I was hoping to move our internet to Level-7 in the future this will definitely not happen.

Hi Caroline. We see on your profile that you were notified on the 17th of April of the router to be returned. Multiple reminders were sent thereafter and the router was only received 23 June 2023. We also informed the collections agency of this the same day the router was received. Therefore there isn't anything payable on your account. Should there be anything additional we could assist with kindly send us an email to *** and we'll be happy to help.

Well, the Debt Collectors Company has informed me that I have to pay an amount of R222.86 so there is an amount that I have to pay for something that really could have been prevented.

Maybe try reaching out in other ways in the future, like a simple phone call to indicate how important it is for you to receive the router back.

17 April I was notified that it needed to be returned by the 7th of June, I'm only human. I got busy at work and had been in Cape Town for work for almost two months. So I couldn't get around to returning the router in that time frame.

Anyway, I've stated how I feel about the rapid and super-aggressive response.

Hi Caroline, we'll look into this with the collections agency. Please be advised we in no way wish to aggravate the situation, however there are policies and procedures in place that we need to follow as a business.
