Metrofibre not recommended as a service provider

The service received from this service provider is pathetic. I have been trying, since November 2021, to register myself as a user with Metrofibre (as we are compelled to do due to them being the service provide to the complex in which we rent an apartment) but to no avail. The seem to be unable to perform the simple task of logging me as the user of a specific IP address, and to activate my account despite spending hours with them online to try and resolve this. Numerous undertakings to get the service up and running on or before a certain time, for people to call me back with updates and progress reports just did not happen. I would not recommend them as a service provider in any instance.

Dear Daniel

On behalf of MetroFibre, I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the negative experience that you have received with us.

I know it has been really frustrating for you to be held up like this when you just want to get the issue resolved and we do understand your frustration.

Kindly note that we have tried to call you however you were unreachable.

Please note that because this is a tenant swop the old tenants line will only expire on the 16/02/2020, if we can get the old tenant to agree to doing an early line release we will be able to activate your line earlier.

We do also apologize for the lack of communication from our side

Kind Regards
MetroFibre

Even this response is indicative of the quality of service received, I am sorry to say. I was assured by a Metrofibre representative, on Wednesday night past, that the issue regarding the prior tenant's cancellation would be resolved by way of an early cancellation, as this can be done, and that my service would be up and running yesterday already. To enable early cancellation I was requested to provide a copy of my lease agreement, which I did. I cannot see how, where I am the tenant, and entitled to receive an internet service, I am being held to ransom, so to speak, by what your arrangement with a previous tenant may be? The fact is that the previous tenant is NO LONGER the tenant. I am. You are being paid to provide a service relevant to this unit, and the tenant currently occupying this unit. Also, I would be quite please to see where you tried to contact me and I was not available.
