18th months now intermittent or No service

Here we go again. No service blamed on the flooding. HOWEVER, OpenServe, Telkom Liquid, Mitsol abs every other supplier in my road not affected by the flooding. What a joke!!

You need to explain to your customers why it’s always Metro Fibre’s infrastructure that is damaged and never any other fibre providers? My link was working this morning and worked yesterday. As soon as the sun came out our links in our road dropped. The flooding is a lame excuse.

Dear Michelle,

We have confirmed through our maintenance department, that the breaks in our infrastructure are along the main roads that either collapsed or were damaged by the floods.

Our infrastructure was essentially damaged due to the floods and the location of the trenching.

We still do not have an ETR on when the repairs will be completed, we will update you as we receive feedback from the teams on site.

Kind regards
MetroFibre

You will be receiving my cancellation this week. Neighbors on OpenServe have not had one problem at all during last months flooding and the current flooding. Your infrastructure is obviously lacking. My ICASA complaint against both Metro and VOX will still go ahead. I have kept service logs for the last 2 months and it’s not looking good for Metro. My complaints of intermittent or no service date back to March 2021 on my emails to VOX. This is all attached to my complaint to ICASA.

I have cancelled FTTH with MetroFibre and have requested that my ISP move me to OpenServe.
I will however not let you get away with 18 months worth of my money for little to no service. My complaint to ICASA will go ahead once I’m connected to OpenServe and have a stable WiFi connection. The 10 other MetroFibre customers in my road will shortly follow suite and will latch on to my ICASA complaint. Too many people let big companies like you get away with these types of issues but I will most definitely not.

Good evening,

We have followed up with our Maintenance team.

We have received confirmation that the outage is also dependant on the floods in the area. 

Once we have further updates we will inform you.

Dear Michelle

Please be aware that we are collaborating with Link Africa to resolve the issue.

We are currently dealing with several issues as a result of the flooding in KZN. 

We will do our best to get the link resolved as soon as possible.

An agent will advise as soon as there we receive updates from the technicians on the route.

Kind Regards,
