Issue not resolved for 2 months and now the problem is worse

Been struggling to get my vpn sorted out for 2 months. When doing hotspot via my phone through mtn, it works perfectly. Go back to MetroFibre and it disconnect immediately. Suddenly after laying complaint, my whatsapp call was cut. That was after 4pm on 17the of April, since then unable to stream on my tv or do whatsapp calls. I reported it but ever since no contact from anyone. Logged more tickets today via email and the app. I phoned customer service at 7pm tonight and still waiting for a call back, it is now 20:30. Right through the day been sending whatsapps to support and not a single reply. Since last night the router is showing a blue light but it is not discoverable to connect to.

Your matter is being escalated as a priority to the relevant technical team for urgent investigation. This includes reviewing the VPN-related connectivity, the recent service disruption, and the current router status. Immediate attention is being requested to restore your connection and ensure stability.

Good day. I'm still waiting for my issue to be resolved. Only got an email at 8:22am this morning telling met to reset the beacon 2. I've done so and still the it is not appearing on devices to connect to.

Until I can connect, I can't check if my issue with von and streaming is resolved.

This issue already cost me R1500 in data the lat 3 days.
