I live in a small suburb outside of Kuilsriver. Our Vodacom data reception is very bad - this has been confirmed by more than 20 residents that are also Vodacom customers. March of this year, I contacted Vodacom via their FB profile, and was quite pleased by the assistanct I got there. But promises were made that the manager would contact me, and this never happened. Further to this a call that was logged on my behalf was also just closed, without there being any resolution of my problem. I was then advised to give Vodacom a call, and log a call directly. On the 22'nd of March 2016 I phoned and spoke to a consultant, I was then told that it would carry more "weight" should I have numbers of 5 resident's that have Vodacom numbers, that experience similar problems. I then got more than 20 numbers. When I phoned again on the 23'rd I was told that the system was done. Phone again on the 24'th and logged a call - could however only post 3 numbers (although I had to collect 5??). Subsequent to this, I was told that a technician would contact me, but this could take about 20 days. On the 19'th of April 2016 I phoned again. No progress - someone will be in contact. On the 6'th of May 2016 I phoned again - same story, no progress. Today is the 15'th of May 2016 and no-one from Vodacom has been in contact with me regarding this call. In the meantime, however Vodacom is quite happy to keep me on as a client and to accept contracts for data, but what use is it to me when I have such bad data reception at my place of residence? Vodacom sent my husband a ****le, this cannot even connect to the Vodacom network from his computer.
Best regards,
Best regards,
Today it is nearly a year since Vodacom rep**** and promised to be in "contact to assist with resolution" and still we have had NO improvement on our reception. To further exasperate us, our Telkom cables were ****** over the weekend, which is litterally leaving us with hardly any Internet connectivity. As proof of this, my Vodacom ****le is currently averaging at around 3KB/s and my cellphone, Note 3, informs me there is no Network.
A cellphone tower has been installed, it is standing approximately 1km from my house, but according to us, the residents, this tower has not yet been activated as we have had NO improvement in our cellphone data reception. Initially a lady from Vodacom gave me monthly (?) updates, but I have not heard from her in more than 8 months .... ?!?
Why is it that a little community, approximately 7km's outside of Kuilsriver, cannot have decent technological connectivity? It would seem that the infrastructure is here, so what is missing?
