SADV cant keep my fiber online

SADV has supp**** fiber to my area for almost over a year now. Each month it's a massive struggle to just keep my line up and stable for about a week before it goes down again and this is a repeating process. Brackendowns (the area in which I live in) has so much down time with fiber that Telkoms copper is better than their fiber because at least it stays on for longer than a month. I can't even count how many times my fiber has been off this past year.

Hi Cailen, major apologies for the downtime experienced. Unfortunately, we bought the network and then had to do an upgrade of the network, after which we have then had numerous issues in the area due to vandalism as well as breaks caused by the Municipality. We are trying to keep the network as stable as possible and are putting in measures to prevent vandalism and improve response times on breaks.

How long will this upgrade to the network take. It would be great if SADV could notify our ISP’s beforehand.

Hi Cailen, the upgrade was completed last year already and all ISPs were notified of all maintenance schedules.

My question still stands as to why my fibers down for the 4th time this month?

Fiber is down again for the 3rd time this week. 5th time this month. This is unacceptable and I would not recommend their service at all as they can't keep my service up.

Hi Cailen, we did escalate this after we received your latest message. A team was due to be dispatched late yesterday afternoon. They informed us that your services were restored as of just after 5pm yesterday. Apologies for the inconvenience.

It's after 5 pm and here I am sitting without fiber. What a pathetic company. Why do you supply fiber when you can't keep it on. Your 99,5% uptime that is advertised on your website is an absolute joke and a lie.
