FALSE ADVSERTISING OF PROMOTION

I joined MetroFibre only two weeks ago. The technician installed the router on 17 November 2025, and I was connected on 18 November 2025. Then, on 24 November, I received an invoice for R239, which already didn’t make sense because I signed up under the special deal of R299 for the first four months, after which it increases to R599. So I queried why I was being billed R239 for less than a week of usage and no one bothered to reply an email that was sent by the agent.

I don’t even know if a debit was attempted, because when I didn’t see any deduction, I reached out on your WhatsApp chat for a payment link. Instead of clarity, I was suddenly told I needed to pay R599. And now, today, my WiFi has been disconnected. When I went back to the WhatsApp chat for help, I was told I now somehow owe R836.60.

What is going on with my account? How does the amount keep changing with no explanation? I need this sorted out immediately, because I currently have no internet connection. I’ve been with MetroFibre for only two weeks and I’m already dealing with this level of confusion and inconvenience? This is extremely unprofessional, and I am honestly very disappointed.

Why am I requested to pay these ridiculous amounts yet you advertised a promotion of R299 for the first 4 months. This is FALSE ADVSERTISING and people should be aware of this

Hi Metrofibre

Today marks day 5 that my connection has been suspended, the last communication I received was that you are investigating. Your investigation takes more than 5 days to sort out an issue? worst part is that some days I work from home now imagine the struggle I am faced with since I have no internet. I have never met such an unprofessional company like this I will NEVER recommend you to ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
