Incorrect billing and very bad customer service

In December 2025, I requested installation for Metro Fibre WiFi.

The router was installed a week later, but it was not active and only started working a week after installation. The agent I spoke to confirmed I would only pay a pro-rata fee of just over R200, calculated from when the device was active and working.

Shortly after, there was a break-in at my house. As a female living alone, I did not feel safe there anymore. I called to cancel on the very same day of the break-in. I was told I could not cancel immediately and had to give a month's notice, even though my monthly subscription was R469.

I am now receiving calls and SMSs stating I owe R888.

When I emailed to query this, the agent (who did not provide her name) rep**** that I am "liable for that cost irrespective of whether or not your device was working" and that this is a fixed monthly cost. This contradicts what I was initially told.

She also sent a PDF invoice showing the same date twice - 24/01/2026 and again 24/01/2026 - with two separate charges of R469. Please explain how I am being billed twice for one month to total R888.

This is extremely poor service and I would not recommend Metro Fibre.
