Terrible Service SA Digital Villages/Vumatel and Mweb

I am a new fibre client. Installation was done by SADV on 14 May, router delivered 17 May. Mweb advised it would take 48 hours for automatic activation whereby I would receive an sms with login and password, which has not happened and it is four days later. The broadband light is not highlighted so there seems to be a problem with the line. Mweb cannot assist when I call, they also cannot provide me with a ticket number ***. As per my screen hot below, I have been holding for 43 minutes only for the gone to be thrown down in my ear when I ask to speak to a Manager. I have wasted so much time and airtime trying to call them and holding and escalating for 20 and 25 minutes at a time and nothing gets resolved. Still no wifi...

Reviewer Update
Thank you Mweb and SADV my wifi has since been sorted. Pity you need an IT degree to activate and register it with TP-Link. And the installers from SADV in the area cannot wait to do the bare minimum and run away, leaving you in the lurch. Our neighbour was so disappointed and frustrated with his service that he ripped the fibre cable out himself and no longer wants the service. It is really aweful that you have to complain and become the villain before the service you are very willing to pay top dollar for in this country will work as promised.

Hope the service goes smoother moving forward.

Warm regards
