Poor customer service

I've been trying to get Metrofibre resolve the billing issue where they charge me R499 instead of R399. I signed a contract for 20Mbps/20Mbps @R399 and later they asked if I want to upgrade to 50Mbps/50Mbps and I agreed to that but the following day I sent an email telling them to cancel because I won't afford to pay for the upgraded line. What they did after that is increase the premium but the line speed remained the same. I complained and asked them to correct that but no one is interested in fixing this error. I started paying for the account via EFT and send the proof of payment monthly. This is a month-to-month contract. If I miss a single payment the service is disconnected. The suspension is only removed after they receive the payment. The problem I have is that they keep adding the extra R99 to my bill and they are not will to correct their mistake because i cannot pay for a 50Mbps/50Mbps line when I still on the 20Mbps/20Mbps. They just act like they don't understand what I'm talking about yet I have explained this a number of times to them. This is so frustrating and I'm really tired of dealing with the same issue over and over again. I send the POP's every time but whenever I ask them to correct my bill they are always missing the POP's that I send and they do send the acknowledgment every time they receive them.

Right now my line is suspended yet I sent the POP for the payment made today. What am I paying for exactly?

Hi Mtrofibre, please find the root cause for this issue. You have the recording in your system which talks about the upgrade you were proposing. All the details are there and compare that to what happened from that time until now. Another thing you should take into consideration is why the line was left open if there wan an issue with the payments. I signed a month to month contract. Why was was the service not terminated if you didn’t receive payments. Who is supposed to suspend/terminate the service between us? Is that my responsibility or yours? Why am I asked to resubmit the proof of payment if your staff is doing their work?
Please note that a month to month contract does not to a point where you are owed so much if the people responsible to capture the payments do their work. This was going to be picked up very early if it was a problem not the bill is so high.. The person responsible should fix this. One more thing, when you listen to recornding you will hear that I was promissed an upgrade and check your records to see the upgrade ever happened yet the premium increase but the line speed remained the same. Why should I pay for something Im not receiving. Please get the responsible people and sort your problems out and reinstate my line. I waa not even given a turn around time for the investigation you said you were doing. You didn’t even talk to me and left a message with a child instead of calling me back

Metrofibre, please provide the following as you are not interested in looking into this problem.
1. Provide a copy of the recording where you asked to upgrade the line to 50x50 Mbps
2. Proved the evidence that shows that the line was upgraded from that time until now
3. Provide evidence the bill started to change from R400 to R499
4. Provide a letter sent to me informing me about the price increase.

I see you are really enjoying this game you are playing with me. Where is my feedback on the questions I asked! You just closed a ticket and marked as resolved. Where are the findings?
Please enlighten me how this ticket was resolved? I haven’t received any of the information I asked for. I haven’t a right to be given an explanation of how this call was resolved. I haven’t heard a word from you yet the call is already closed from your susten. I deserve an answer to all the questions I asked and I want that recording and the letter for the price increase addressed to me. You make up stories shat proof that you investigated and what were your findings. I haven’t received the recording for the upgrade, no email directed to me telling me about the price increase.
In case you didn’t know when you investigate a case you get the findings and thats how you to a conclusion of what really transpired. Updat your ticket with the findings. It doesn’t look like your staff knows what they are doing. Do you even have a manager who checks these things? Please give me something usable. I have rights as a customer and I am fully aware how these caes are dealt with so please do a proper investigation if you fail find someone who has an idea how these things work. Share all that information I requested I am definitely taking this further.
