********** Service From Vodacom Fibre

Absolutely horrified by the service I've received from Vodacom. I received a cold call in February with an offer to take up fibre. Although I was already with Cell C, I decided to move ISPs since my phone provider is already Vodacom. I set the installation to be done on the 31st of March but received no confirmation from the installation team.

On the 3rd of April, I found out I'd be moving house so I requested that the fibre rather installed at my new place of residence. The person who assisted me informed me that it will have to be submitted as a relocation request. The below is the sequence of events that transpired:

1. Relocation Request Logged. No update received from Vodacom 2. Contacted Customer Support. The relocation form was not provided so the relocation form had to be completed and submitted. Again, no update received. 3. Contacted Customer Support Again and told relocation is not necessary, just a change of address. Requested interim LTE since we work from home but apparently it couldn't be provided since it was a relocation order, despite the fact that fibre had never been installed. 4. Contacted Support again and told that relocation actually should be done and that LTE has been ordered, set to arrive Monday. 5. Contacted by Relocation Team and made to submit a NEW sales order as part of the relocation process which didn't make any sense. 6. Monday has arrived, no LTE received, the old order has apparently been cancelled, the new order is stuck, waiting for confirmation from Relocation Team, the interim LTE cannot be ordered in the meantime until the order is complete. 7. Checked my credit report and Vodacom referrals appear FOUR times now for one fibre installation application.

Now we're sitting without Wi-Fi right now and I'm losing revenue. I'm so disappointed

I'm still waiting for Vodacom to get in touch with me. I desperately need to get my home online.

I don't know why you felt the need to respond in private to an issue that isn't already resolved. I am still going around in circles trying to get help from Vodacom and you have honestly been completely useless. My line still hasn't been activated, despite Vumatel installing it the day before yesterday.

I don't know why a single installation takes this long to complete. I now have two routers and CPEs that have been delivered to me courtesy of your constant errors but getting my line activated seems to be impossible. I have been severely inconvenienced by Vodacom and no one can give me a straight answer.

My object number is VT-WTP-OB-4058 and I need my line to be active before the end of today. If you can't do this, please let me know so that I can proceed to cancel all my services with you. This level of service is ridiculous.

Your sales department has now submitted a third application for me and this one has been declined in vetting. I'm in the process of purchasing a new home and this is negatively impacting my credit score. Vodacom has not been able to help me at all. Can someone please get in touch with me and sort this out!
