Openserve/MWEB delay in service

Title: ONT Not Delivered – Service Still Not Installed Since 5 September

Complaint: I signed up for fibre with MWEB/Openserve at the beginning of September. MWEB activated my account on the 5th of September and has already billed me for setup and pro-rata data. However, I have still not received an ONT box from Openserve, and I have had no internet service at all since activation.

Today (26 September), I received an SMS from Openserve referring to ONT B***, claiming it is already provided at my premises. This is incorrect. I never received this ONT box, and no installation has been done.

Because of this error, MWEB continues to bill me for a service that I cannot use, while Openserve’s system wrongly shows my installation as complete.

Desired outcome:

Correct your records regarding ONT B***.

Urgently deliver and install the correct ONT at my premises.

Communicate a firm installation date and time.

This matter has been ongoing for over 3 weeks and is unacceptable.

Reviewer Update
Openserve finally contacted me on Thursday 3td October. Even sent me a test mail to ensure that they have my correct details. He said on friday 10 o clock i must just enail again so that he can come back to me.
It is Tuesday today. After sevral emails... no reply. Nothibg done. Now a month and 7 days.
Mweb sent me an sms saying that my account will be suspended as they could not get an amount of R142 for services rendered. I had reversed the debit as they have not delivered any srrvjce yet, yet deducted R96 the former month and then R243 kn the 1st. I have escalated this several times with MWEB TOO.
