A Customer Retention failure called Vodacom Fiber

On 25th November 2022, at approximately 08:15 I call *** and request to cancel my Fiber service. Reason being I am paying Vodacom R 1 099PM for a 50/50Mb fiber line. No one ever advised me i am being overcharged, even though you call me each month to offer me some other unrelated services. On this morning of 25th November 2022, I am advised by Azande Khumalo that I should reconsider cancellation, as Vodacom does not wish to lose customers. I have been with Vodacom now for more than +20 years. Azande, a real brand ambassador goes to work and i enjoy his personality and banter, where I am offered 200/200Mb as a retention offer, with a new router and payment holiday implying my 1st installment is March 2023, all for R 599pm. This sounds good, even though I am already aware that Cell C is offering the same deal for R 489pm. To top it off, I am offered a TV for an additional R 299pm, now i agree to this as I could offer this as a gift to someone. Its 01 December 2022, and I have been calling Vodacom each day, since the 25th November 2022, and theres one systematic issue after the other. I am at the point, where all i juts want now is my 200/200mb fiber deal, with new router and payment holiday until March 2022, keep the silly TV set which i never really needed in the 1st place. So today, I finally decide to let the rest of the Hello Peter membership know how utterly disconnected Vodacom is from ensuring customer centricity. I must admit, the agent I dealt with, Azande Khumalo, is a really nice chap, with a fantastic personality, whom with all fairness, should not be blamed for the disaster called Vodacom Customer Dis-service! I must have spoken to so many agents, from Nosipiwo, to Nkosinathi, to Mandisa, etc, all of you have been great, however I still have had zero progress with my retention/ escalation/ debacle... Vodacom, if it wasnt for these employees, I would run a mile, and if it wasnt bcos of loadshedding eating into your profits I would run a mile! Get your act together, because you messing up with the last mile, and your loyal customers like myself, will soon become totally intolerant of your total lack of service!

Vodacom. You have resorted to misrepresentation. I have today received, SO ***. None of your terms are what was explained to me by your consultant Mr. Azande Kumalo, whom I now realise is a snake oil salesman, employed by yourselves, to lie to customers. Your quotation, received on ***2, indicates a cost of R 1 398.00PM, after I was advised that I will receive a 200/200Mb line for R 599PM. Thereafter, i was coerced into a TV at an additional R 299PM. That equates to R 898PM. Then i had Mr Azande Khumalo, cancel the TV and only offer me the 200/200Mb at R599pm. What blatant misrepresentation and to what end? To de***** your customers? I expect you to listen to your recordings, which we as customers are reminded are in the interests of our safety and yours. I will now pursue other media to expose Vodacom and its outright misrepresentation. My contact number is known to you, and I expect you to get one of your senior managers to call me on *** or ***.

This matter was actually resolved by Vodacom, after a number of months and constant follow ups. I thought it important to come back here to share that it was eventually resolved.
