The router is faulty, and Rain support hasn't been helpful.

My Rain Router has been faulty for some time, with constant internet abruptly cut off every now and then. Whenever I enquired, support told me their system detects a connection at a tower and there is no problem. The speed rate is slow, the connection range became shorter and shorter limited within the house in the end it couldn't reach other rooms, only connected when the device is feet away from the router to the router, even then, the Internet cut off multiple times all day, every day. Rain support still tells us the system found nothing wrong with the Router. Days ago the router stopped powering on, I reported it, and support told us it is connected to a tower, to which I asked the agent how it is possible when it can't switch on. After testing the connection the agent informed me that the Router it is faulty and would be replaced within 3 to 5 days, I should have my phone on all the time, and the courier will contact me. Days later I hadn't heard from the courier. I contacted Rain support to enquire about the tracking number information, to my shocking surprise Rain support couldn't find the reference number Rain emailed me after my call. I am flabbergasted, this is as odd as when the agent told me a Router that wouldn't switch on is connected to a tower, rain makes it make sense. Rain owes us an explanation. Strange enough this is not the first time Rain support has told me they can't find any information about my concern, this time I ensured to keep evidence of the chat. We are days with a Router that packed up, without internet. Basically, I have paid for a service I am not receiving and I hope Rain refund the for the days we are not receiving service and is not going to bill me in the coming month for a service I am not receiving, as long as we don't receive a functioning Router.

I appreciate that Rain support responded promptly after I posted my review. Still, the Agent promised to call me again on Monday after she escalated the matter, I haven't heard from her yet She stated that much of what was said about a replacement by the previous Agent is disinformation. They won't replace the router, she didn't specify how or when they would collect the default router. She also mentioned verbally that Rain would refund me but I haven't received any written confirmation via SMS or email. It's uncertain whether Rain will fulfil the refund and stop billing me, especially since no service is currently provided.

Good day, I have cancelled Rain service, handed in your router and received confirmation thereof with Reference Number: ***9, so can Rain please explain why you still debited the amount from my account? I am very disappointed with this outcome because your staff at the Paulshoff walk-in store were so empathetic, welcoming, helpful and assuring, but the faulty replacement device was a disappointment hence I cancelled. I received a confirmation by email. Please reverse the debit order, I am no longer receiving service and you have your router back there is no reason to continue debiting my account.

There are no charges because there was a credit which was transferred from April to May since we had no Internet connection as a result of a faulty router which was reported to rain. In fact, you owe me credit from the day service was cancelled and the router was handed in. You are ripping your customer off. Mereth, If I got the name write is the Agent who handled this matter and confirmed the credit. Stop with this nonsensical act.

Strangely, Paulshoff staff could see on the system that I have been querying the faulty router and connection since 2024, yet you have **** that there is no record of my queries.
