AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

One of the most atrocious fibre service providers. My parents live in a complex and are over 70 years old. MetroFibre technicians come to fix a problem with a network outage that affected the whole complex. Instead of making sure all residents are connected they serviced half the complex and left the others without any connection. Calls to them often go unanswered or the call is dropped once you get through. Never ever make the mistake of going with this company, not only will you regret your decision, you will be left frustrated with lack of transparency and services. They will only provide a rebate if your service is off for 18 days or more in a month.

Dear Rivash Sakichand 

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 

We understand how concerning this situation is, especially given that it affects elderly residents and essential connectivity within the complex. The inconvenience caused by incomplete restoration and the difficulty in reaching support have been noted and taken seriously. 

This matter will be escalated to the relevant technical teams to ensure that all affected units are attended to and fully restored. We are also reviewing the handling of the outage to address the gaps in communication and service delivery that you have highlighted. 

Our team is committed to resolving this as quickly as possible and ensuring that all residents receive the level of service expected. Feedback will be provided as soon as there is an update on the progress. 

Kind regards 
Sibonisile

This is the absolutely pathetic customer service of Metrofibre. After numerous calls to them and 7 days without internet service (still don't have internet access) they send out a technician who makes some calls and tells us to wait an hour and the service will return. We do as he says and it is now almost 12 hours later and there is still no service. In February we had down time of almost 2 weeks. In March it is a week and counting. Yet they take our money without delivering a proper service. Their responses to complaints on this platform is so generic and is a joke! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. They will take your money but won't deliver on service.

 We have escalated the matter for a re-attendance today, as the team was onsite yesterday as well. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while this is being resolved.

So your team was onsite yesterday. Did they resolve the issue? NO. They just made false promises and left. I hope I don't have to post another message tomorrow telling people how you failed to commit to your promise of "re-attendance today". Ball is now in your court. Let's see if you deliver or will we have to go into day 8 without service from you guys!

So it’s been two days and we’ve received two of your technicians. You guys have no clue what you are doing. Yesterday we were sold the story that it is a connectivity issue. Calls were made to your operation centre and we were given the assurance the service would return within an hour. We waited 12 HOURS AND NO SERVICE RETURNED. We had to call your people again and complain on this platform. Another technician was sent to today. He didn’t thoroughly check the issue and spent minimal time before passing the buck to this being a Link Africa issue. We don’t deal with Link Africa. You guys bought the infrastructure from them. It’s your role to make sure you have your ducks in a row. Not just pass the buck around because you can’t provide a service to us. I reiterate you guys are PATHETIC! You are ******* who take peoples’ money but can’t deliver a proper service. Tomorrow is day 8 without internet service. Last month we went over 14 days without any internet service. STOP *****ING FROM PEOPLE!!!

In addition your technicians are ****s too. They made my parents who are over 70 years old wait for them with the assurance that they were stationed at the gate of our complex attending to the issue. But the reality is they ran away without completing the job or notifying us of the issue. When we try calling them they refused to answer the call although they initially did take our call. Rogues all-round. I wish there was a bigger platform where I could take your company to the cleaners. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Disgraceful excuse of a service provider that fails to produce a service. No wonder your technicians lack any backbone and work ethic.
