upgrade delay and incorrect billing

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Vodacom Online.

In September 2025, I upgraded my line and was informed that the upgrade would take effect the following month. However, the month came and went, and I still did not receive the upgraded line as requested. I only received the router, while the line itself was never activated.

This month, I received my bill and was charged **R500 for a 10MB line**, which is incorrect and unacceptable, considering the upgrade was never completed.

On **3 December 2025**, I contacted your support centre and spoke to Navreen, who advised that I would receive feedback within five working days. She further instructed that if I did not hear back, I should call her again on **12 December 2025**. When I phoned on that date, I was informed that she was off duty. I then spoke to Lerato, to whom I had to explain the entire situation again. She confirmed that she had emailed the upgrade department and that I would need to wait an additional five working days.

This repeated delay, lack of follow-up, and unresolved billing issue are unacceptable. I request that this matter be escalated urgently. Please correct the billing, activate the upgrade as originally requested, and provide written confirmation of the actions taken.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Kind regards, Marietjie hefer ***

Vodacom phoned me last Friday shortly after I submitted my review and informed me that someone would contact me on Monday. I am still waiting for that call. I have been waiting for my upgrade since September 2025, with no progress or feedback. This is extremely frustrating. At this point, can I not simply cancel the entire contract?

Dear Annamarie,  Thank you for the time and effort taken to voice your dissatisfaction to our office. It is with the cooperation and feedback from valued clients such as yourself that we are able to identify any areas of improvement within our organisation.  As per discussion, we have processed the credit for the 2 months where the billing for the 10MB line was incorrect, we have app**** a credit of R177 excluding VAT, which will reflect within 72 hours. Regards  Consumer Website Team 

Best regards,
