19 Apr 2026, 09:34Rain breach of contract, CPA violations, outages, missed installation and financial loss
My experience with Rain has escalated into a serious service failure and possible breach of contract.
This matter has already been reported to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), yet there has been no proper resolution.
Rain has already acknowledged fault by granting me one month free service, which is effectively an admission that the service provided did not meet acceptable standards. However, the underlying issues remain unresolved.
Key issues:
- My primary tower was down twice this month, resulting in approximately 5 days without internet
- I cancelled paid overtime work to be available for a scheduled external router installation on 18 March 2026
- The installation never took place
- No communication or rescheduling was provided
- Rain refuses proper written communication and directs customers to unrecorded phone calls
This conduct appears to be in direct violation of the Consumer Protection Act, including but not limited to:
- Section 54: Failure to provide services in a timely manner and of a standard that consumers are entitled to expect
- Section 41: Misleading representations regarding service delivery commitments (installation date not honoured)
At this stage:
- Compensation was given, but service remains defective
- Commitments were made and not fulfilled
- I have suffered actual financial loss due to Rain’s failure
Required resolution:
- Full written explanation for outages and missed installation
- Additional compensation reflecting downtime and financial impact
- Immediate resolution of the issue OR
- Cancellation of my service at month-end without any penalties
If this matter is not resolved urgently, I will proceed with further escalation through ICASA and the National Consumer Commission, and consider additional legal remedies available under South African consumer law. This situation reflects a clear failure in service delivery, accountability, and compliance. Rain needs to address this immediately.

19 Apr 2026, 14:15Rain support call ended after refusal to escalate – no reference provided, service failure and ignored urgency
I am extremely disappointed with the handling of my complaint by Rain.
On 19 April 2026 at 11:39 AM, I contacted support via the number +***0. The call lasted 11 minutes and 54 seconds.
During this call:
- I requested to speak to a supervisor multiple times
- I was not provided with any reference number or email confirmation
- I was told a supervisor would call me back, which never happened
- I clearly explained that I had to take a day off from overtime on Saturday due to the promised installation that never occurred
- My urgency and financial loss were not acknowledged
When I asked for proper escalation and told the agent to stop using delaying tactics, the agent continued to stall and ultimately the call was ended without resolution or confirmation of my complaint being logged.
This is unacceptable complaint handling.
This matter also relates to:
- Missed external router installation that was promised and never completed
- Repeated service issues and downtime
- Lack of accountability and poor communication
At this stage:
- No reference number has been provided
- No supervisor has contacted me
- No written confirmation exists
- My complaint remains unresolved
This issue has already been escalated to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa and I am now documenting this call as further evidence of failure to properly handle a formal complaint.
What I expect:
- Written confirmation of my complaint reference number
- Immediate escalation to a supervisor or complaints manager
- Proper acknowledgement of financial loss and missed installation
- Clear resolution timeline or cancellation without penalties
Rain’s failure to properly log and escalate complaints is unacceptable and must be addressed urgently.

24 Apr 2026, 14:18Second Missed Installation – ICASA Escalation Ignored, Loss of Income and No Communication from Rain
I am extremely frustrated with the poor service from Rain.
I had an installation for an external router scheduled for today before 12:00, which was confirmed directly with the technician. Once again, no one arrived, and no one contacted me to explain or reschedule.
This is now the second missed appointment. I have had to take yet another day off work, resulting in financial loss and unnecessary inconvenience.
What makes this even more unacceptable is that this matter has already been escalated to ICASA, yet Rain continues to ignore agreed arrangements and fails to deliver on their commitments.
This level of service is completely unacceptable. Customers should not have to chase after a service they are paying for, especially after formal escalation.
I expect:
- A clear explanation for the missed appointment
- A confirmed and guaranteed installation date
- Compensation or account credit for the inconvenience and loss of income
If this is not resolved urgently, I will continue to pursue the ICASA complaint further.
Very disappointing experience with Rain.
