RAIN an IT company the over promises & under delivers

I cancelled my phone and ADSL internet from 31st Jan as I have sold my property. I need internet for 2-3 weeks so I purchased a Rain SIM. I was y told by the sales rep how really easy it was to connect & if I had any problems their support people were excellent. What a joke that turned out to be! Installed my SIM Friday & after 2 hours of frustration tried calling their support line. 30 minutes & their rep was unable to connect my phone & then the line was cut off. Rang them back to get a message that support closed at 5pm Friday. So it was obvious the support lady just decided to CUT ME OFF without a sorry or explanation!!! WoW now the whole weekend NO service and no internet. What a Wonderful caring company is RAIN.

On Monday 1st Feb my Telkom and ADSL will be disconnected so I now will have to spend R100;s on cell phone airtime trying to sort this problem out as it takes forever for your Help line to respond???

The saga continues!!! Sunday I received an email from Tshikane Namuramba giving me instructions to reset my phone - (removing all my contacts photos and saving ) quite a lengthy process, Then to make adjustments to my setting to get connected. Did this but NOTHING! no connection.
Monday I rang RAIN and asked to speak to Tshikane as he had instructed me and was told he is not available as RAIN is upgrading their system, its been off all weekend and they might call me in 72 hours!!! So lets review:
1. they sold me a package knowing it would be u/s for 5 days!
2. Tshikane gave me instructions to reset my phone and call him knowing their system would be down and he would be unavailable!!!
Am I actually in the middle of an episode of MONTY PYTHON???
Or has Leon Schuster made a comeback and I will be on the Shucks Schuster show?
Can any company even in south Africa reach such low levels of Plain IMCOMPETENCE? Obviously for RAIN this is just the way they work!!!
