Atrocious, Disgraceful service from Vodacom South Africa

I am at the end of my tether with the atrocious, disgraceful service I have received from Vodacom Red Line Service. Around 20.11.2017 I received a call from a Vodacom Sales Agent indicating that records indicate that the package I am on is insufficient and that I should migrate to a higher package. I accepted and was told that I had until the 30.11.17 to revert back to my original package without migration charges if I changed my mind. I then did my own calculations on returning home, found that I was not exceeding the package I was on and contacted customer care to revert back to my original package. I was given the assurance that it would be done and that I would receive an sms confirming this. The long and short of this is that IT WAS NEVER DONE, even though I made numerous calls in Dec. 2017, Jan 2018 and FEB 2018. I had to become very rude to the point of throwing down the gauntlet, before I was reverted back to my original package 3 months later on 01.03.18. I was then also saddled with an exorbitant bill as a result of the difference between my original package bill and the higher package x 3 months. On the 07.03.2018 my service was suspended, even though I had instituted a dispute on the higher package costs and migration costs I was charged. I was asked to pay an amount of R5000 into the account to get reconnected. I duly comp**** and was given the assurance that I would be reconnected between 2 to 5 hours. It is now the 08.03.2018, I have called and spoken to 4 customer service agents, who have all given me the same assurances that my service would be reinstated between 2 to 5 hours, but still there is no action. I am calling on MANAGEMENT OF VODACOM to go through the recorded conversations of my numerous interactions with Red Line Service consultants as well as collection and reconnection department to verify what I am stating. I am disgusted, appalled and extremely unhappy at the atrocious, disgraceful service I am receiving from your ***********, inept, customer service agents. Should this matter not be resolved before the close of business today being 09.03.2018, I have a very big public surprise that will be seen by many, to highlight the sloppy, slippery manner you treat your clients. ABSOLUTELY ****ED OFF

If I go by the promises made by you, on the basis of my recent unpleasant experiences with Vodacom, I can safely say that I should hear from you somewhere between today 09.03.2018 and 09.06.2018. Be reminded that I am not pleading any longer for decent service, I pay for it and therefore demand it. My deadline still stands until the close of business today.

VODACOM Management, why must your loyal clients paying you thousands of brands every month, have to approach public platforms like Hellopeter to get your attention to deal with matters promptly and professionally. It took your customer service agents less than an hour to resolve a problem I have been dealing with from 30.11.2017, after posting about it on hellopeter. VODACOM your service is slipping badly. Customers will vote with their wallets and walk over to your competitors should your service not improve. Big up to the team at Hellopeter.
