Vodacom Fibre - What a Nightmare!!!!!

After struggling to get Vodacom to vett me for a fibre contract (took more than 7 days instead of 48 hours), another struggle has ensued - connecting the fibre. I was told the fibre would be would be active and connected within 48 hours - This was last week Thursday 15 April, even to this day, my fibre connection is not active.

It seems like no one in the Vodacom Fibre call centre knows what is going. Most of the agents give conflicting information and they have no idea what is going on.

You have their call centre team leaders like Victor and Lwazi who promise to call back and never do.

I am at a point where I am strongly considering cancelling this whole thing because it seems like I am begging for free services here as if I will not be paying. This whole experience has been a nightmare that I wish no one ever goes through.

Another thing that will be a huge fight is me cancelling this contract - they will want to charge for cancellation fees even though they are the ones who are failing on their side and that is a fight I will be willing to take on.

Vodacom, you have the best network in the country but your service sucks on the fibre side, I am regretting having gone with you as a service provider.

Within no time, I will have run out of patience and I will cancel this deal - I have had it.

Also, they will be quick to tell you that someone in the team will get back to you and they will never!

I expect that the fibre line will be activated, that is all that I want.

In the mean time, I am gathering information on how I can go about cancelling this contract if this is not done ASAP. I will dispute any cancellation charges as I have not been able to use the fibre services. I do not mind paying for the ONT that Vuma has installed. Any other charges are going to be disputed should this not be activated ASAP.

I expect that someone will call me latest by 14H00.

This line was supposed to have been activated last week and that still has not happened. I am tired of waiting as this is not acceptable and no one is getting back back to me with feedback.

Advise me what the cancellation procedure would be should this not be activated before the end of today?

Feedback? Or should I go ahead and request for this to be cancelled?

I actually cannot believe the fibre has been active but I was not advised that the wrong cable was being used to link the ONT and router was an incorrect cable. One wonders why not a single person from Vodacom bothered to ask me what colour cable is connected to link the routers.

Needless to say, I am up and running and the speed seems okay, I hope it stays this way.
