Frustration with Rain and RAM

Although the speed was initially good - i've experienced many disconnects which was so irritating that the speed advantage quickly fade. Then when I cancel the real frustration started. I cancelled on the 13th and my internet was immediately disconnected however I still have not been refunded for the days that I did not use. I did pay the full 499 Rand upfront for my cancellation month. It may be that the refund will only happen after they received the free-to-use device. Which brings me to the next major issue I have regarding the return process of the free to use device. RAM phoned to come and collect it later in the afternoon after 'i've already left from work already for the weekend. So they were not there yet. And even though I suggest an alternative pickup address for saturday or monday they told me that it is no problem they will fetch it at my work address on tuesday. On tuesday I went to work for only this reason - we had an agreement that they will fetch it there - but no one pitched - no one even call and it is impossible to speak to any person because I logged a ticket with ram and no-one rep**** or followed it up - and then on to the next battle - rain support - I called multiple times their customer support explaining the problem and although the last 2 persons seemed to be helpful until now I still did not have any success in their collection process. In the very same time that i've started the cancellation process - where my internet was cut of on day one, during working hours - I have signed up with another service provider who sent the sim and device all the way from east london to cape town and I am already happily connected with another service provider since yesterday who fit my needs in terms of performance, price and customer care much better.

Thank you, I did receive the reference number from RAM - RAIN08-***0 . I did mention my hospital stay on friday and the tickets earlier this week where I've mentioned that as well, that I will be in hospital on friday. However, RAM did call me on friday, left a voice message as I was in surgery at that time. When I called them back they said they were at my place already unfortunately, but that it is not a problem and they will fetch it on Monday. Now I really hope that will be the case. The ticket do mention that pickup have been postponed. I really would like this collection to be completed a.s.a.p. thank you

What a nightmare this collection has become. I came in today to work - only for 1 single reason - the collection by RAM. I did not need to come as I am able to work from home. I was waiting here the WHOLE day, checking on the parcel tracking every now and again. No one contacted me at all the whole day. And then suddenly the last log entry in the tracker was "16:32 | COLLECTION NOT COLLECTED: Postponed - Sender Not Available." I am STILL here - I have not left anywhere the whole day. it is now 16:55 - Nobody arrive here at village walk, nobody called me - How am I suppose to return if no-one come to collect and no-one even call?
