No feedback from RocketNet and Vumatel regarding installation after a week

I placed my order with RocketNet for Vumatel Fibre on 28 October 2020. I paid the installation fee of R1725. They delivered the router on time as they said they would which was on Friday. I was then told to expect a call this week to book an appointment for the installation to take place, but its been a week and still no response from either Vumatel or RocketNet. I've been calling them and endlessly holding on the phone for what at a point became over 20 minutes, and when I text them on WhatsApp, I get a response after over an hour of sending the message. Yesterday morning (before 9am) I called to follow up and spoke to Fhumu who promised me that I will get a response from his escalation that same day (ticket #16999) and I still have not received any feedback from anyone whatsoever. I am being told that I can not follow up with the installation company, only RocketNet can do so (not even Vumatel can follow up, which makes no sense to me because it's Vumatel infrastructure). I really need to find out what's happening and I'm not pleased with the service I am getting from both RocketNet and Vumatel.

Good day Mzamo

As per telephonic conversation, we would like to firstly apologise for the delay with regards to having your fibre installed.

Our aim here at RocketNet mission control is to get the end user live as soon as possible and with this often comes some challenges, the first would be the 7 - 21 bussines day "service level agreement" we have in place with Vumatel.  We can assure you that we have not left this up to the installation team at Vumatel and have been highly proactive by logging a formal ticket: ISP-235262

This now sits at tier 2 and is part of an escalation bucket.

We will be sure to provide constant update up until the issue has been resolved.

Kind regards,
RocketNet Support

Reviewer Update
It's Tues 10 Nov (almost 14 days since I placed my order on the 28th of October, and only the 7th business day since my order for some reason was only placed on Monday the 2nd of November by RocketNet with Vuma Villages/Vumatel).

I still have received no feedback nor phone call since Mohamed from RocketNet followed up with me on 5th November. No one is saying anything about phoning me regarding setting an appointment to install fibre to my home.

Who can I call? Who can I follow up with in order to start getting some progress?
