Don't bother taking vodacom contract

Vodacom is selling a product that they know very well is susceptible to loadshedding damage.. 2 months into a new contract the Home router is alleged by a vodacom to technician to have laodshedding damage even though it stays on a UPL, after 7 days of no internet, am told by the vryheid vodacom branch that I have to book the router in for 4 to 6 weeks and In the meantime I cannot use the 550gigs on the sim as the sim doesn't work in any other router or phone, meaning I have to buy extra data during the time and still pay for 2 months for a service I am not using and cannot cancel as it's 24 months contract... Talk about a monopoly
