Review: Disappointed with MetroFibre’s Service – Unreliable and Unresponsive

I decided to subscribe to MetroFibre because I needed a reliable and stable WiFi connection. Unfortunately, after only a few months as a client, I am extremely disappointed with their service.

As I write this, I have been without any network for nearly 30 hours. I have tried calling multiple times, but no one answers—only an automated message telling me that my call is important, which clearly isn’t the case. I have also reached out via their WhatsApp support, but all I receive are generic responses saying they are working on the problem, with no real updates or resolution.

I feel completely ignored as a paying customer. Reliable internet is a necessity, and the lack of proper communication and support from MetroFibre is unacceptable. If you are considering their service, I strongly advise against it unless they drastically improve their customer support and network reliability.

MetroFibre, do better!

Reviewer Update
Thank you for your response, Sibonisile.

After posting this review on the platform, I noticed a slight improvement in communication; however, I still did not fully understand the extent of the fibre issue. I was only sent a picture of a broken fibre line with a message stating that the team was still working on it. It remained unclear how 30 hours of labour was justified for a single repair.

Additionally, a communication was sent out indicating that the estimated time of restoration (ETR) was 7 AM, yet the service was only restored at 16:00. I would like to suggest that MetroFibre enhance its communication. As I rely heavily on a stable and reliable connection for my home office work, clear and accurate updates are crucial. Providing timely and transparent information allows customers to plan accordingly and mitigate disruptions.
