What Customer Service?

I have been an MTN contract customer for some years now. Never had any issues before now.

I have had no mobile internet connection on my phone since the morning of Sunday 13 July 2019. The only way I could contact MTN was via Twitter. I tweeted them and was told to log the fault online, which I did...just to be told of a 10-day turnaround time for their network team to send feed back. 10 days! For a service I am paying? Also, they have stopped responding to my tweets.

My ISP with whom I also have an MTN data contract, Afrihost, has been trying to get the problem resolved from their end. They're also still waiting on a response from MTN. Afrihost has been in constant contact with me, trying to get me answers to no avail.

Yo, MTN. I certainly DO NOT feel like a valued customer. My business is suffering because of your incompetence. Go ask Afrihost what customer service is because honestly you don't have a clue.

You are messing with people's livelihood and that's not right. I want to know why I don't have internet access on my very expensive contract phone which has already been paid for this month. It's not a 10 days to answer question.

Reviewer Update
I appreciate you calling me on Tuesday but it's now Friday and it's been crickets since...Two weeks without any solution is preposterous! There has been no improvement on service delivery. In the meantime my business suffers. If only you would communicate...but why would a telecommunications company such as yourselves bother with that, right?!
