Fiber nightmares

I am a long standing client with Vodacom, with 4 packages with them, when it was time to upgrade my data package as i was not aware that i will loose all my incentives when contract expires. i decided to go the uncapped fiber route as i was tired of monitoring my megs and the slow upload down load speed.

Little did i know that just upgrading to fiber with Vodacom will be such a nightmare . The customer service part does not exist, their famous line is we will escalate your query and someone will contact YOU. Please note this never happen, I lost track of how many people i spoke to, but i am still waiting for my fiber to be connected and no one can say when or even if this will happen. The staff at *** are not very helpful or clued up, seems like they read of a set script. one will tell me that fiber is live by me, the other will tell me its not, but all say the same we will escalate it-(LOL).according to the Vodacom app my location is live. To get connected with Vodacom fiber is a stressful and long process. i know of friends that got fiber with other service providers and they are already up an running. The question i keep asking is how reliable is Vodacom,?? and do they care for their customers. While they decide this, its costing me money on data.

Good day

Please note that i am still waiting for Vodacom to contact me with a resolution.

Vodacom really needs to speed up their escalation department or get get customer driven people.
What is the problem with the fiber department??

What makes this a pre-order as it as been established that fiber is live in my complex. Vodacom alo states that i will get free LTE while i wait for installation but this was not even offered to me. BUT I DONT SEE WHY THERE SHOULD BE A DELAY SINCE ITS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT FIBER IS LIVE WERE I STAY.
