Pathetic Service... (Or should I say - No Service)

Just when I thought my faith in Vodacom has been restored, they show me yet again how wrong I am in renewing my faith in them...

I have two lines with Vodacom. Line A is my cellphone contract which I use on the regular. This is my main line. Line B which is a data SIM with a router.

Line A = Happiness. Upgraded recently and working just fine. Line B = Unhappiness. Explained below.

When Line B was up for renewal I called in to cancel it because I no longer required it and the router + SIM was ******. The agent I spoke to cancelled my line but also told me about the 10GB contract which as around R250 p.m. I told them I was interested and they supposedly signed me up for the renewal which included a new router + SIM... A week or so passed and I received no delivery. I call in again and the agent I then spoke to told me they can't see the upgrade on my profile, just that the line was renewed. This was obviously wrong! I was also told a story that I wasn't reachable for the delivery (which is complete BS). After explaining my story to agent they then told me they would do the upgrade again etc. I will receive a call from the confirmation department (who's unreachable by the way). Weeks have passed and no confirmation call. I have been billed for the new contract and I have paid in good faith. I will not pay next month if I don't have any device... I've called in on numerous occasions and the feedback remains the same, the confirmations department will me. I have completely lost my patience. Surely this can't be called service??!?!!?!

Where do I stand as a customer? I'm being billed for a service that I haven't received!

After Vodacom credited my account and gave me the option to continue with the upgrade or can it, I opted to continue. It seems like I’m a slow learner... I still haven’t received the router... yet today I can see the data on that line was replenished... I’m sure this means I’m getting another bill for a service I’m not using! I called the Call Centre and tried to summarize my little story. The agent honestly was not interested in helping and I rated him accordingly. He told me someone was going to call me back, someone who has access to the other system. No call back... not for my issue nor for my bad rating... How can I get this resolved?!? I’m at my wits end

Also, why does Vodacom not equip their Call Centre staff with the right tools to service their customers?
