MetroFibre – Broken Promises and No Installation

I was promised the best service from MetroFibre, but to date I have received no assistance.

An installer came to my premises only to install cables.

A month later, I received an email advising that the linking had been finalized.

Since then, I have been waiting for installers to return and complete the installation. No calls, no updates, and no further communication has been received.

As I previously advised, I work from home. These delays have placed severe strain on both my finances and my work. Instead of resolving the issue, MetroFibre has sent multiple emails merely to calm me down, promising speedy attention — yet nothing has happened.

Because of this unreliable service, I have now lost the privilege of working from home permanently. I have already received two written warnings from my employer due to the lack of a reliable connection.

Once again, MetroFibre has shown no interest in its customers and has provided no real assistance.

So let me ask directly, without pretence: ARE YOU GOING TO COMPLETE THIS INSTALLATION, OR SHOULD WE SEEK OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS? OR DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET FIRED BEFORE YOU STOP IGNORING MY REQUESTS FOR SERVICE?

Dear Sihle,

We understand your frustration with having to follow up repeatedly without receiving a clear progress update or confirmed completion date.

Your installation remains dependent on the outstanding network work required to complete the link build and activate the service. We have urgently re-escalated the matter to our Maintenance and Installations Management teams and requested a detailed update, confirmed technician attendance date and realistic estimated completion timeframe.

We acknowledge that you should not have to continually request feedback. We are actively following up and will contact you directly as soon as the responsible team provides the confirmed way forward.

Best regards,
Marilize
