Consider alternative companies.

My internet has been very slow for over 14 days and i am on the R999 plan. I have logged 6 service calls (over 6 days ago) and requested my service to be cancelled now twice. I only get automated emails saying "help is on the way" Their call centre wasted my time (3 times) with only "restart your router" or "take out your SIM card". I suspect the call centre is in India with the ability to restart routers and escalate queries only. So if you have a genuine technical problem, good luck, you will most likely be without internet for a long time, just like me. I have lost days off work so I had to get fibre. Afrihost organised fibre for me and it’s now up and running within 4 days and no one from Rain has even contacted me to resolve my issue. So I have a new internet service provider while Rain is still promising to send me help… My Rain router is back in the box and ready for them to collect once they refund me for the lack of internet for March. I do not trust this company anymore. Initially I was satisfied with their product, but wow have things changed.

So you go by the download amount and not the speed test results and customer complaint?
So if i downloaded 600GB in first week and then the base station batteries are ****** and i have very slow service for the next three weeks, it does not make a difference to Rain?

Gooday, its now over 60 days and still not cancelled even though your message said it will be cancelled immediately. There was also no credit as you promised.

and Rain is still trying to bill me. Your router is ready for collection since March. Not used. Just cancel please. This is now fourth request.

If the payment is made in advance for the month which i already paid for March at the beginning of March, why are you telling me i am in arrears? Actually Rain owes me the credit.
