NO INTERNET VODACOM & VUMATEL PATHETIC SERVICE

Yesterday 18 April 2024 since 6am I have not had any internet at home. I logged a call to Vodacom call ref SR*** at 18pm on 18 Apr 2024, as I was hopeful that the internet would be restored during the day. Clearly this was not the case. Vodacom informed me that it's a Vumatel problem. I confirmed with the other Vumatel users in our complex which all had internet. I called Vodacom again and was informed that it's an individual Vumatel problem and my call would be escalated to the tech team as urgent. I called Vodacom again today 19 Apr 2024 at 11h24, as I still do not have any internet and have not received any call from any tech team or someone that is working on restoring my internet. I was informed that it's not been 24 hours yet as I only logged the call last night and my call will be escalated to the tech team. This is utterly ridiculous and very poor service. How are we supposed to get work done without any internet, a service which you must pay for, but there is NO SERVICE. You just get told it's escalated, and a tech will attend...

18H06 19 APRIL 2024 NO CALL FROM VUMATEL AND STILL NO INTERNET. I LOGGED THE CALL WITH VODACOM ON 18 APRIL 18H00 BUT ON THE VUMATEL EMAIL ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THE CALL AT 15H57 TODAY 19 APRIL 2024, IT STATES THAT VODACOM LOGGED THE CALL ONLY TODAY 19 APRIL 2024. WHEN WILL SOMEONE RESTORE MY NON EXISTING INTERNET SERVICE... I CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SERVICE BECAUSE THERE IS NO SERVICE..... STILL WAITING....
