Rain sucks

Since I received my Sim card and set it up and all those fancy things I have absolutely terrible signal then it is on then it is off then upload and download speeds are on 50 and 60kbps. I have phoned over 15 times emailed over 30 times with absolutely no help or service other than can you point your router in this direction. There are 10 rain towers in my area within 3km radius and still nothing how the hell is this possible.

Your customer service is appalling and your assistance and IT TECHNICIANS are of no help at all

Subject: Re: [rain] Re: Phone Call From: Caller *** OK, hi.
So I have phoned again today and have spent over 300 rand of airtime trying to get something sorted.
Now if you have a ticket system you should see that there is a serious issue here. I can't even get on a Google page to try and type an email and send it I have to do it of my vodacom data.
Which funny enough has 49mbps download speed and 86mbps upload speed and the one tower is like 3 km away.
Where as your closest tower to my house is 0.77km away and I barely get more than 159kbps download and 279kbps upload. I have run out of airtime and now can't phone for assistance because all of it has gone to 25minute calls with your call Centre which cannot put me through to an IT technician. I am told they not allowed to. Is this due to the fact that you all work remotely from home and are unable to assist efficiently from home/alternatively your connection speeds using your own company product just as **** as mine?

I am still waiting on answers and feedback and questions I have raised. Yet no response.
If this is how you treat your customers I'm surprised you have any.
I am also still waiting to receive a phone call from the imaginary IT Technician to no avail.
Seriously what the hell
