Vodacom fibre - very poor service

One star rating and 82934 pages of mostly complaints. I can see why. I am having poor service from Vodacom before my fibre connection has even been installed! This company has not learnt anything about communication. Fibre has been rolled out in Yellowwood park and we have completed and sent in in all of the documentation to have fibre installed. It was approved. I was sent an e-mail AND a SMS telling me to click on a link to book my installation slot. It mentioned that I should not delay because there are limited slots available. I clicked on both the email link on my computer and the link on my mobile phone in the SMS. Both gave me a response of "page not available" and "no such record". I have made numerous phone calls at a cost of my own airtime to try and sort this out. I have been given the assurance each time that the matter would be taken up and i would be contacted to arrange an installation time. I have not been contacted by anyone and every time I call at my own cost I am told the same story. I can see why there are so many thousands of pages of Vodacom complaints! This does no bode well for doing business with this company that does not communicate with their potential customers and appears to be incapable of fixing their online web booking system. The persons on the contact phone lines appear to be severely technically challenged. I recommend staying as far away from this company as possible!

Considering the thousands of other complaints, I doubt I will get an adequate response or explanation..

Generic cut/paste or bot reply. No contact from Vodacom at all still. That's the whole problem and judging from the thousands of other complaints, many others too! I'm not impressed!

More phoning, and despite more promises still nobody has contacted me. i have requested for a SENIOR person to contact me but I will be extremely surprised if anyone let alone a senior person contacts me. Stay away from this company. All the stories on my broadband and hellopeter are being verified in my experience with this money grabbing non caring company. This is costing me a fortune in phone calls! I am truly gatvol. I have come across some two bit *********** businesses in my time but this takes the cake!

Another five emails and phone calls, nobody can or is prepared to help. Even had load shedding used as an excuse!!!!!
