Vodacom Fiber - a ces****l of problems

After weeks of continuous struggling with Vodacom Fiber, my patience finally ran out and I decided it is time to share my experience with anyone looking for fiber options.

Installation was done quickly and professionally. 1st router installed gave issues with intermittently disconnecting. I couldn't download or stream anything. Escalated the issue and service was poor on the help desk side. A week later a replacement router was installed. Same issues detected as the first one. Escalated continuously. Calls logged where closed without the issue being attended to. 3 Weeks later my 3rd router is installed. Finally after a month of continuous struggling it seems that my internet issues is something from the past. If I only could be this lucky! That weekend my line went off because of a main line breakage, fixing this took more than a week. Since fixing the line, suddenly I am being throttled or shaped (no one can give me an answer on this) I am way under the fair usage policy T's&C's. I pay for a 100Mbps down / 50Mbps up uncapped fiber line, but I never get this results anymore. i have sent various speedtest results to Vodacom showing speedtests ranging from 4.59Mbps to about 30Mbps and logged calls as well. Next step would be to send all this detail (and I have plenty of evidence) to Icasa. I have never experienced such bad service from South Africa's so-called best network.

Seems that the speed issues has been attended to, but on another reference number:  SR***. 2nd time Adriaan Klopper works with my requests and although I asked plenty of times for him to call me this never happens. Previous time he closed my call without it being fixed. Maybe this is how clients are treated these days, I am just not used to it yet.

Got a call from the Manager at Secunda Vodacom4u store (Anne v d Merwe) and kept me updated on the progress of a fiber break in the area. Don't know if this is related, but at least she knew what customer satisfaction is all about.
