Unconnected - Internet and Service provision

I have wasted more than a day trying to get through to MWeb to assit me with reconnecting at my new address. I have spent more than a R100 on airtime just sitting in a queue. I have completed their online address change request weeks ago, and they never reached out to me. It has only ever been one sided - client to service provider, never service provider to client. MWeb has no regard for other's time. All they need to do is send out a technician. Not even theirs. Openserve's. Openserve has been so much more helpful, but their hands are tied until MWeb gives them the order.

During one of my calls I have informed MWeb that I only have one day off to get connected. They gave me confirmation that they will have me connected on that day. I am really deeply dissapointed

When can I expect connection? Because neither my wife not I am allowed to work from home.

And, surely my bill will then be prorated for the time you are taking on you side. I refuse to pay for whatever duration it takes you to reconnect me.

Hi Enoch,  we understand how important it is for you to have your connection restored, especially with work-from-home commitments. Your order is being prioritised, and an SMS confirmation will be sent as soon as your connection is active.While your service is offline, no billing is being app****, so you will not be charged for this period. We appreciate your patience while we work to get your connection up and running.

Openserve came out to connect the line. The router is fine now, but I still cannot get through to MWeb to do their part

"Activation team is not available over the weekend"... the ineptitude in service delivery.

The intenet light is flickering on my router. It is there. But MWeb cannot push a button to activate access for me.

This is the equivalent of me dying in the desert from thirst. I can see the glass of water, but I am being allowed to drink it.
