DO NOT SETTLE FOR METRO FIBRE!!!!!!!!!!!

Constant service interruption. Absolutely shocking lack of service, never smooth sailing for more than 2 hours. Ref 168388 supposedly restored. What a load of horse ****e!!! Ref 168604 supposedly restored another load of horse ****e. To add to your shocking customer services skills or lack thereof you are not a member of ISPA and therefore not responsible to anybody for shody service!!

A third reference has since been issued. Vandalising, the government or theft is always blamed. Strange then when Link Africa owned the line none of the above happened. What a feeble cop out!!

Friday 6/5/22 at 13:32 we lost our fibre. Monday 9/5/22 07:26 still nothing! Your engineers must be camping wherever the problem is. It honestly cannot take this long to repair a fault. Will the government be blamed again for *****ing your equipment?

Dear Michelle

As discussed telephonically, there is a massive trenching that is taking place in the Amanzimtoti area. Our technicians are still on site and our maintenance department is awaiting feedback from the team on site.
As discussed, we have also sent you the email with the images of the break we received from the team on-site and we will keep you updated with all the newest feedback we receive from the maintenance department as they are working on it as a matter of priority.
We do apologise once again for the inconvenience caused.

Metro Fibre this is not good enough, what happens to the customers who pay for a service? Surely alternative arrangements should be made with fibre suppliers in the area? Or are we required to continue paying for a non existent service? The email address linked to this account is my only email address and I have not received anything from Metro Fibre.

My husband has sent me the photos. These photos were taken directly across the road from me. I’ve just been all along that road and there is not one Metro fibre technician on site at all. Absolutely shocking, this will all go into my complaint to ICASA!
