Very disappointing service and long delays

On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, I raised a support ticket with Surf4Life. The ticket was allocated to a technician on Thursday, 18 December 2025, but up to today I have not received any feedback on when the technician will come to fix the issue.

This is not the first time I’ve experienced such unacceptable delays. In November 2025, I reported an issue on the 1st of the month, and it took almost two weeks for a technician to attend. Despite these long delays, customers are still expected to pay for a full month of service, even when the service is not usable for extended periods.

I have always trusted Surf4Life. I personally own property on a different estate and have consistently recommended Surf4Life to my tenants, making referrals because I believed in the service. Unfortunately, my confidence is now fading.

Waiting 17 days with no clear communication is unacceptable. A basic expectation is that faults should be attended to within at least 2–3 days, not weeks. I am now seriously considering switching to a service provider that values customers’ time and money.

Very disappointing experience overall.

Thank you, Mpho. You gave me a call at around 09h05 and ensured that by 09h30 the technicians were already on site. The connection issue was resolved efficiently in about 30 minutes. I really appreciate the quick response and decisive action.
