Shocking service from Vodacom fibre team (would give them zero if it was and option)

To Whom it may concern form Vodacom (or at least someone that care about paying customers that get extremely poor service!)

I have been receiving appalling service from numerous fiber agents and shoddy work from contractors. Nobody will assist in getting the issue fixed and all I get is "we will get back to you", but nobody does. When I phone and ask for an update I just get empty promises

I send numerous emails where I get no response from anyone.

This is the fourth time the exact same issue occurred and nobody fromVodacom will take any accountability to get it fixed.

If I count all the days I've been without service from Vodacom its is about a month. They take my money every month and are never late with that, but the lack of accountability and professionalism is shocking. I essentially paying Vodacom for 30 days without service.

Also my service requests are closed without anyone contacting me to confirm if the issue is resolved.

Here are the Service request numbers, for vodacom to check if they care! This doesn't even cover the numerous times and hours I spent on the phone with agents that are not able to assist and only give excuses why they cannot assist me! It is impossible to hold of their team leaders or managers or so called escalation managers because they don’t answer sms, emails or phone calls!

SR*** SR*** SR*** SR***

I have got the names of most of the agents that promised me updates where I received none - just got absolutely unprofessional service! To make it even worse is that some of the agents I spoke to on the phone will not share their names or emails addresses with me. Promise to send me an email, but never do!

I can supply them with names and emails if anyone from vodacom care to contact me. I logged an official complaint on the 29th of Dec 2021 and nobody contacted me yet! Absolutely appalling.

I will never recommend this company to anyone and would never use them in the future if I have another choice!

I got this sorry of an excuse response from Vodacom today:

"Good day Willie
We are sorry to hear of the circumstances under which your posting has reached us and we do apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Our records indicate that your query is currently in hand with the Social Media Team. Kindly allow the team to investigate and resolve your query.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Vodacom Consumer Website Team"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The social media team have been ignoring me from the 28th of December and said the query is in the hands of the fiber team. So just as usual nobody takes responsibility again! So between website-, social media-, fiber- and even Vodacom Customer Complaints Department!, nobody will respond to me or contact me or take any meaningful action and I'm yet to receive any useful feedback.

I you look at your records and take the time to read the comments you will understand how I struggled to get assistance and just get ignored or tried to get shushed with "we will get back to you, pls be patient", but it is to much to ask!!

Seventeen days later and nobody at Vodacom give a damn about customer service! Still no reply from Vodacom Fiber Team, Social Media Team or even their Customer Complaints Department for 17 days now! Worst service I ever had the displeasure of being a customer. I would not recommend Vodacom to anyone and would refrain of using them in the future!

I still didn't received any empty promises and lies from Vodacom as of yet for this post, because no employee cared enough to follow up and give me and update. I got a response from a certain "Jadian" that he is a co-called "Man of his Word" and promised that he will contact me - I haven't received any response from him totally as unprofessional as every person I dealt with for Vodacom- even after two day and four emails from me. Maybe they will rather say nothing now to be held accountable for unprofessionalism! I'm still contemplating if no feedback is better that lies and empty promises! - Absolutely disgraceful customer service! And lastly - How can you close a service request if the problem is not fixed! You can't open a new one for the same issue that was not attended to!

I created another complaint on Hellopeter and not even feedback on that!!

Still no update received from Vodacom but thank you Gugu from Vodacom for phoning me today. She ask me if I got any feedback from her colleagues at Vodacom that she requested and update from and requested that they phone me - Unfortunately no one from Vodacom phoned or contacted me today - so even Vodacom employees can't get feedback from their own colleagues. Shocking customer service!
