Premium Charged for Zero Internet quality

We subscribed to Rain 5G - Premium service since Nov 2020. To date live speed test results 2.5 to 10bps Upload speed and 17 to 25bps Download speed, No where near the superfast, uncapped high speeds they claim.

Repeated calls over the last 30 Months, latest last week 28 June 2023 were logged for assistance, very little to no avail (no reference number emailed), their poor response times and tech skills has made no improvement to Rain Internet service from inception.

We requested immediate Senior response, refund and downgrading (4 working days and still waiting) vs 2 to 24 hr response times promised?

We are desperately seeking a 'premium Service' for the home office and On-line teaching and schooling for the kids.

Despite our request to escalate our complaint, no response from seniors, Management. We demand 80% refund for the past 30 Months poor service, intermittent , extremely slow and continuous buffering.

Our request to was made on the 28 June 2023 has still not been responded too, no refund, no technician response, no downgrade or contact from your office. Why does it take another Month to respond or make changes?

We followed the rebooting process suggested on 5 July 2023, the following results noted at 15h35 on 7 July 2023:
Down Load - 34.5
Upload - 32.7
far less than the 'Premium Service' claimed by Rain?

2) 'technician response',
3) 'downgrade' or
4) 'contact' from your office?

Hi, the delivery guy refused to hand over the sim cards as our "Rain Account" is registered in my wife's name Mrs K.W with the given ID 6............3. My wife presented the ID but he refused to budge.
Please correct the mistake and send the SIM cards as ordered on 28 June 2023.

Hi, we requested the 5G Basic Plan for R529/Month beginning of July 2023. You confirmed that it will be changed on 1 August 2023. Why are you charging us R982.23

See comm's above?

Strange we were always charged in advance since inception. check your records
besides every other internet service provider is pay first, use later.
