Hugely disappointed

Hello MTN

To say that I am disappointed, angry and upset about this situation is an understatement.

I first app**** for the basic R269 a month router on the 5th of August and I paid you R 503.29. I was told the MTN Zsignal in my area would be fine.

I then started a new job in August that required stronger and faster internet, so I upgraded to the 5G R499 a month package on 31 August.

I paid you R150 and R 515.10 that day.

Then you suddenly debited me R707.25 on the 4th of September.

No explanation, no phone call, so I reversed it.

Then I received an email on 10th September to say if I don't pay R438.25 immediately, I will be cut off. So I paid you.

My 5G signal has either been weak or normal. Never anything stronger.

Every day was a battle to try work. Every single day. I have been in danger of losing my job due to this pathetic internet. This has caused a LOT of stress

I have now found out that MTN is known for the dismal signal in this town.

I want someone to phone me, give me a full refund (R 1606.64 ) and you can send someone to collect your useless router from me.

Start reading from the bottom up

I am beyond angry about this situation.

Dear B***

You can cancel my contract immediately. I will never trust MTN again. As a client of over 20 years, I expected better than this.

As previously stated, my job is still at risk.

I expect my refund of R1606.64 today otherwise i will start legal action.

Dear T***

I will not be driving from M*** to S*** to return this device to the store.

Kindly arrange for a courier to collect it from me.

It is beautifully packaged back in its original box.

I have endured weeks of stress due to the poor signal. It has affected my health and my job security.

I have no kindness left in me about this matter.

I also want a full refund of R1606.64 from MTN. I will not claim the R1980 spent on medical bills due to the stress involved.

Also, best you track down whomever tested the area and told me i had great signal in M***x and tell them to change the script.
