The All New HellKom

The worst experience I have ever encountered. we live on an estate and we are the only household that does not have connectivity. We have had no fibre connection for 14 days. Ticket logged on the 15th Feb 2024. We keep getting kicked from pillar to post and still have no resolution. We live in an estate and we are the only house without connectivity. We have spoken to the call centre for hours on end. Our original ticket was closed, reason on the system was that the line is fixed.... We didn't even know a tech was assigned or attended to it, but we still had no internet. A new ticket was opened on the 18th and that was running and we were told a technician contacted us and we advised him that we were not home (we never received a single call from a technician through this entire ordeal/circus act). We were told to expect a tech on the 21st Feb 24, no one called or rocked up. We were told someone will be attending to the issue on Saturday 24th Feb 24 between 9 and 12 and no one pitched or called. We have sent numerous call centre agents emails and WhatsApp messages (because they supposedly felt our pain and would make a personal effort to assist in resolving), and not a single response has been received. So much for empathy. It is now 28 Feb 2024 and we still have zero connectivity or a valid reason why we are the only affected home in our estate. we are spending on 5 GB data a day to stay connected for work, school and varsity which Vodacom will obviously not reimburse us for. This cost in huge, especially over the last 14 days! Damn ridiculous! I had to give this a star rating, would have preferred a 'No Star' option

Its now day 17 and still no joy from you guys. A very friendly guy by the name of Marlin called from your HelloPeter department and advised that someone would call us. Seems like it was just a ploy to distract us an pacify the situation. However , someone called my wife yesterday and advised that a tech will assist us yesterday, 2024/02/29, and no one bothered calling us or advising us that will not be attending to us. WE ARE STILL WITHOUT INTERNET! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, VODACOM!

Day 18.... Apparently a technician came to our estate and was turned away by the guards again.... The guards have zero recollection of these occurrences so we humbly ask Vodacom for proof of these instances as well as the address and contact details that Vodacom has on file relating to the current open ticket so that we can address this head on with the desfulting party . It's time to get to the bottom of this

To date, no technician has called us and stated that they need to gain entry or are having difficulties finding the address, which we find rather strange.l, especially with the number of contact numbers and clearly available address on Google maps etc and the wealth of info available at our fingertips. Digital age and no one uses the resources? Highly unlikely. I blame negligence and poor with ethic and easy to make a buck off call out fees.
