Shocking service and poor infrastructure

Our fibre went out this morning at around 8 and after being given the run around by our service provider VOX, a technician called at 10am to say there was a break in the fibre and they would update us later as to a repair ETA. We were unable to get through to SADV when we first called. We eventually called back only to be told SADV'S technicians won't come out this weekend and our fibre will only be fixed on Monday. This is the third time we have lost connection due to a break down of your infrastructure in the two months we have been a client. My fiancé works from home and is supposed to be available 24hrs to do remote IT support and is now unable to do his job due to your company's utter incompetence and lack of service delivery. I would advise anyone looking at fibre to stay far away from anything laid by this company.

I have included the VOX reference number so you can track the call with them as we were not given a reference when we were eventually able to get through to you.

Good day Bronwyn, apologies for the downtime experienced. There is a break in the fibre on our Backahul Provider's infrastructure. They sent a team out to investigate (our company and theirs both work on weekends) however, as explained to VOX on their ticket logged unfortunately, their team needed to be pulled out the area due to protesting in Alrode, where they needed to work. That is why it was deferred until today, The team has since been back to the area and found the break. They are currently working on restorations.

Best regards,

Strike action aside, it is now 17:15 on Monday evening and we are still without the service we pay for and no ETA on when it will be restored. We just get told it's being "worked on". It's now been 3 days, I doubt SADV will make any effort to make reparations.

Hi Bronwyn, services were restored last night just after 7pm. Apologies again for the downtime.

Best regards,
