Fibre lies, fibre contract breaking, Vodacom lazy lazy and unreliable

Vodacom Business your service is abnormally pathetic! I have been struggling to get 1gb download speed which I am paying for but my fibre speed is halve of that. We are almost on 3 months and still no help. Ticket after ticket, gets closed. The last one still open resulted in a technician coming through and getting the same results as myself on the download speed.

Your retentions when I wanted to cancel told me I had only a quote and needed to sign a contract for the problem to be solved.

I am fed up and tired. I am paying for something I am not getting and Vodacom you are breaking the contact with me.

I have reported you to the consumer protection board and will initiate legal action.

You guys are good with mobile, but your fibre, I am sorry, I'd rather return where I was as clearly you can't keep up your end of the contract and to be told by one of your consultants, about the speed and paying more as what I get, "it's a pity" drew the final line for me.

Reviewer Update
Dear Vodacom Fibre

The same story and nothing has changed.

The tickets just get closed and I am still on the same speed, but you are charging me for 1000mb speed.

Your technician was here 4 weeks ago with Metrofibre, where the it was shown that your router is WIFI 5 compatible and not WIFI 6 which is 1000mb speed. Since that day, there has been tickets and nothing resolved. The speed is still the same and I am still paying for something I do not get. Vodacom is basically *****ing from me.

When I wanted to cancel the contract last week I was told I must pay R33 000 in to cancel and once I told retentions that you guys are not fulfilling your end of the contract and would to protect myself go to the consumer protection agency, I must still pay the amount to cancel, it is a Vodacom policy. So you force people into contracts but can't deliver and when you want to cancel, you threaten your clients that they still must pay even though you a breaking your own conditions in the contract.

I hereby ask that the contract be cancelled as you clearly can't solve this in 4 months and that I not pay any contract damages as you can't give me the service I am paying for and breaking contract. Also you stall in telling me it would be resolved, but 4 months and nothing had changed, so please hereby is the notice for me to find a provider which can give me the 1gb or 1000mb speed I am paid for.

Regards
