Empty promises and still no connection

I app**** for fibre service on the 13th of September 2022. Since then I've been trying to get the line activated with no luck and only empty promises. There's an existing ONT on the property and I don't need a cheap wifi router so all that had to happen was the line had to be provisioned and a password supp****, which hasn't thus far.

I've been without internet for a week since moving in without any resolution in sight. I've used numerous ISPs in the past including Supersonic, Cool Ideas, Mind the Speed and Mweb and this is by far the worse experience. What makes it worse is that I was a customer of Rocketnet a while back and thought I'll give them a try again. Big mistake and if I could give them zero stars, I would.

It seems to be a common issue with them where people have issues signing up new connections but they seem unable to deal with the problem and just blames the FNO (which is supposed to be their partner).

I will actively discourage anyone to use Rocketnet as they're obviously not the company they used to be.

Sean contacted me after posting the review and hopeful that it will be resolved today. It's a pity that it had to be escalated to this level to get to this point and communicating with me could have avoided all delays.

Good day Gerhard,

Thank you so much for taking my call,

As per our discussion, it brings me great pleasure to advise that the ISP that was holding the line has released the service and we were able to push an activation order through Vumatel and activate the service.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Do let us know if you require any further assistance.

Reviewer Update
Sean Mosterd assisted me with this after logging the review on hellopeter and his communication has been awesome. He's customer service is phenomenal and he has a very positive and patient attitude.

The switchover issue was finally resolved as per the reply and the line is active now. I would rate the service 5 stars for resolving it since logging the review on hellopeter although it would've been better if I received this level of service from the onset. Thanks again.
