Neotel giving Telkom a run fro their money in cheating customers

<p>A few months ago I decided to 'upgrade' my line from 2MBps uncapped to 4 Mbps capped. The line speed never changed and in fact the service was down for two weeks. I then asked Neotel to put me back onto the same 2 Mbps line I had before. While this was happening I kept receiving notices that my account was overdue by R1200+. Countless calls into the service center as well as a few emails resulted in the tech department telling me that this was a mistake on the system. That in fact I had NOT been upgraded to the 4Mb line and that the messages I was receiving was for an account that I had a few years ago which I was somehow receiving. Also my usage was not even close to the 35GB cap. Suddenly this month the amount gets deducted from my account, today I received a call that the finance department refuses to refund my account, I usually pay R699/ month. The call center operator whom I dealt with would not even listen and obviously was not given the info I was told and here I am stuck footing the bill for a service I never used nor received, thanks a lot Neotel. I am cancelling my subscription this is the last straw.</p>

So all I keep getting are these calls from your call center telling me that 'finance has closed the query'. And what I have kept explaining and what is pretty obvious from my bill is that all Neotel did was cap my data on my 2Mbps line at 35GB and still charged me the same amount per month and then charged me above that for data I supposedly used, what exactly are you trying to say? Does that even sound logical? What exactly are you guys doing over there? I maintain that if this charge is not reviewed and reversed I would like my account to be closed please. I would rather pay less for a Telkom line and have to deal with their **** service than pay more for the same thing which is what you guys are doing.

Thanks Khangelwa Nkalweni for looking into this situation and resolving it so timeously. I cannot believe the previous consultant gave me so much grief and that you actually took the time to try and figure out what was going on with this account. I was planning on cancelling my service but faith has been restored. I wasn't looking forward to having to back to Telkom ;)
