Vodacom is not resolving my internet connection

It’s me again. My internet service is down again. I logged a call on 15/11/2020 SR ***. The status is still on New although someone via Vodacom Twitter has been attempting to assist me via DM but it’s Day 2 and we still do not have internet connection.

We need internet connection.

This is the last DM I received from Vodacom via Twitter at 08:43 this morning: Hi Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Your request is currently in hand with our Technical Team. They are investigating with provide urgent feedback.

This is the 2nd time in a month that we have internet connection issues but what aggravates is your TAT in resolving our connection issues. What do you even mean by due course, such an ambiguous term. This is our 3rd night without internet connection.

I am very frustrated client because your after-sales service is appalling.

It’s now 16:30 and none has contacted me to help resolve the internet connection. What is going on with Vodacom? How long must we wait before we get assisted?

This is tiring.

When will I be contacted? Your SM Team just sent me this useless DM at 18:37
We understand your frustration. Your query is in hand with our team who will provide feedback as soon as it's available.

How long does it take for you to fix connection issues. We logged a request on Sunday, it is now Thursday. The status has not changed.

THIS IS OUR 7TH DAY WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION.

After my 6th attempt of phoning Vodacom on *** yesterday, I was informed that my service request was escalated to Nokia technicians to come to our house & resolve our internet connection. These technicians have a 72 hour TAT to attend to escalations and this excludes weekends.

So the only time a technician is going to attend to my service request will be next week Wednesday/ Thursday if we’re lucky.

Prior to this 6th, I’d spoken to Lisa at 10:09AM she hung up on me whilst she was ‘transferring’ my call to a Manager.

I then spoke to Sindi at 10:21AM. She told me that the SR was escalated to the Network Team. And that someone will contact me shortly.

I phoned again at 15:14 and spoke to another Sindi. She made me hold on for morethan 10 minutes so I ended the call and phoned again at 15:25 someone answered the call but kept quiet.

I phoned again at 15:23 and I spoke to Brandon Boer who sounded like he was willing to assist. He even promised to call me once he has spoken to the technician. Alas he never phoned me back. That is how I ended phoning Vodacom for the 6th time in a day and Nosipho told me the SR has been changed to OPEN. This means it was on New Status since Sunday.

Saying that Vodacom’s after sales service is the pits, it’s an understatement.

Another week of missed lessons for my children. Another week of our business being affected but who cares, as long as Vodacom allows me to claim for the downtime, right?

Pathetic!
