No Rain Internet like no rain in summer... It's killing us.

Three days without any internet, an online business that's bleeding money due to that, two calls and broken promises... That's what I've experienced over the last 4 days. In the last month and a half, 75% of time NO INTERNET, so I withheld payment, called them (two weeks ago) and they promised to sort it out, but I had to pay first, which I did then because I had 12 - 14 mbps speeds before (so long ago that I don't even remember it) and I thought they would come through...But Nothing. Everybody apologises for the inconvenience and escalates the problem (all the same like robots) and nothing gets resolved. I mentioned to them that I think it's my sim card that's damaged (from all the in and out from almost never working) and they are supposed to look into that, but over 24 hours since my last call and no internet, no feedback, no anything. I have a struggling online business and this is killing me. PS: My router, etc. works perfectly. I put my phone's MTN sim in and no problems. It has very limited data though, so I can't use it. That's why I pay Rain R 535 per month for WiFi service.

Reviewer Update
About an hour after my complaint here yesterday, I had a 5 mbps line active for about an hour and then back to nothing again. Still nothing, more than 24 hours later, which now makes it 4 days without internet. I can't work, so I will not receive money for these days, which means that I will not pay Rain. I can't be held accountable for paying in any case for services not received, especially because it is LITERALLY stopping me from performing work and earning any money. I have records of how many times I've contacted them now.
I will post a negative review every single day against Rain for as long as this last. Next step is legal action. We entered into a legally binding contract where you provide services that I pay for. I have done my part, but you're in breach of the agreement. Not only that, but I will also sue you for loss of income and trust me, that will be quite a substantial amount.
PS: I know Rain is working because I'm writing this on my phone using the Rain mobile sim, which has signal. My MTN number also has signal as well as my wife's Vodacom number...
