MetroFibre – Missed Installation, Poor Communication & No Resolution

I signed up with MetroFibre Networx after being promised a fibre installation on Wednesday. On Wednesday, I received a call from a lady who was unfriendly and abrupt, informing me that installation could not happen as promised and that it could only be done today instead. Despite the poor communication, I rearranged my schedule to accommodate this.

Today, the technicians arrived only to tell me that there is a fault on the line, meaning installation cannot proceed and I will have to wait even longer for the issue to be fixed. This is extremely frustrating. A line fault should have been identified before confirming an installation date, not after customers take time off and rearrange their plans. So far, I’ve experienced: A missed installation date Rude and unprofessional communication A second failed installation due to a fault that was not detected earlier No clear timeline or resolution provided I am very disappointed with the lack of planning, communication, and accountability. I would like:

At this point, I would not recommend MetroFibre based on this experience.

It is very disappointing to find out that this morning after we followed up that the technical call that was placed was now put on hold. As of this moment we have no inclination when the services will be activated

This has been my worst experience dealing with a fibre company.
