Extremely poor service as per usual

I relocated to a new rental premises where there is fiber in the area but not installed into the house itself. I put in a request to Vodacom to have my current fiber contract and line transferred to the new premises. This process was painful from the get-go and knowing the level of service Vodacom offers I made a point of following up on the process often to babysit the process. It's taken several calls a week to get each step in this process done, now finally all is arranged and all that's pending now is the fiber installation date. For two weeks now I have been phoning and hearing the same empty promises. Week one I was told Vodacom was still within their 30 days transfer period, week two is now after the 30 days and still no-one can supply me with an installation date. I work from home, and no work means no pay! Vodacom has had their prescribed 30 days. I now need my fiber installed asap.

Good day. No Vodacom member has been in contact with me in regards to my complaint. Waiting for someone to get back to me "in due course" is part of my complaint because Vodacom never comes back to me in regards to my queries or complaints. I need a firm date on when my fiber is going to be installed! For 40 days now this entire process has been painful and I feel no closer to getting the fiber installed!

After a 30min call the the fiber installations help line again I was supp**** with an e-mail address by the agent and asked that if I have not been contacted by 17:00 today (4 June 2021) I must send an e-mail to action further assistance from the agent. It's a kind offer to sort this situation out, but unfortunately it's not the first time a promise like this has been made with no followup calls to rectify the situation.

As predicted the interaction with Vodacom on the 4th has lead to no results. I have since then been in contact with 3 different agents all also promising me feedback with no results. I have also taken to social media and and got assistance from a customer care agent. Again I've been promised a callback and feedback. Let's see if now perhaps I'll receive some service. Just to note, no service agent ever responded to me in regards to this Hello Peter post.
