Two Months Without Fibre – Empty Promises and No Accountability from MetroFibre

I am extremely frustrated with the level of service I have received regarding my fibre installation and activation.

I moved into a new property over two months ago and was explicitly told that provisioning would take 24–48 hours after the infrastructure check was completed. That check was done — and yet, here I am, more than two months later, still without an active network connection.

To be clear, this is not a case of inaction on my side. I have been in constant contact with my ISP, who in turn has been engaging with MetroFibre. Despite repeated follow-ups, escalations, and direct communication attempts, I have been subjected to continuous delays, vague feedback, and an ongoing cycle of being passed between parties without any concrete resolution.

It is unacceptable that a process initially quoted as a 1–2 day turnaround has stretched into a two-month ordeal. The lack of accountability and transparency from MetroFibre in provisioning the line has directly impacted my ability to access a basic, essential service.

This experience has been nothing short of unacceptable. Two months without service, while being given the runaround, is simply not how customers should be treated.

Dear Tebogo Tema

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We fully acknowledge the frustration caused by the extended delay in activating your fibre service. A provisioning timeline of 24–48 hours, extending to over two months, along with a lack of clear communication and accountability, is not the standard of service we aim to deliver.

Your experience of repeated follow-ups, ongoing escalations, and being passed between parties without resolution is understood. The impact this has had on your ability to access a basic and essential service is taken seriously.

Your case is being escalated for urgent intervention with the relevant provisioning and infrastructure teams. A full review of the delays, including the infrastructure check and activation process, is currently underway to identify the cause and expedite resolution.

You will receive a detailed update shortly, including clear feedback on the status of your installation and the steps being taken to complete the activation without further delay.

We appreciate your patience while this matter is being prioritised.

Kind regards,
Sibonisile
