Supersonic FLTE

I opted to move from Afrihost (ADSL) to the Uncapped (Black Friday) Uncapped FLTE service from MTN through Supersonic. The process was flawless. I called them to confirm that there was no FUP and the service will run at full speed (unshapped and unthrottled). So I cancelled my ADLS and signed up for the new service. The router/SIM card arrived the next day (Tuesday last week) WOW, I was super impressed. I plugged it in, popped in the SIM card and nothing worked so I called them only to be told I would need to wait 2 to 24 hours. So the next morning I contact them again via Whats app and Messenger (off their Facebook page). Whats apps was a complete waste of time but at least with Messenger I got a responds. first I was told the data allocation was wrong and they would fix it. I kept telling them the router is NOT SEEING THE NETWORK. So 1 day moved to 4. On the Thursday I had a discussion with the tech as I was able to re-instate my ADSL service but he assure me it would be sorted out before Tuesday and I need not worry. Well, we are now at Tuesday and the service is still not working. I have now been told that MTN don't offer LTE service in my area but Megans iPhone runs at 40mb up and down on the MTN LTE network. I think he means FLTE but anyway. So now I my using my Vodacom FLTE backup service with is only 40GB (should last 1 day) and the best part, supersonic are charging me R999 for the privilege of using their service....... I have asked for a manager or supervisor to call me and apparently they have been told of my request but still no calls.

Hi Sandra, thanks for reaching out to me. I spoke to the call centre tech team again today and they person was ever so sweet but she was unable to sort out the issue forgive me any update on when I can expect it to be resolved. She did however tell me that a manager will call me. Alas this is the 4th time this has been said and yet no manager or supervisor has called me to explain how they plan to fix this mess. I am now using R200 worth or top up data with Vodacom to keep my little business going because this service is not working.

Day 9 and still not working with no hope in sight. I just hope I can get my ADSL line reinstated as Telkom has confirmed no news lines are being issued.

I have decided to cancel the service - what a waste of 3 weeks trying to get this working. VERY POOR technical support. Even after I give them the CAS Code they do the same thing or ask for the same information every time. I send the IEMI and modem info 6 times...... This is too frustrating to continue. Will seek a better solution from Vodacom.
