Vodacom lies to secure sales, forgets about you when they have it.

It makes me extremely sad that I am not able to give a zero or negative number of stars.

My story starts in February when I was falsely advertised and **** to that fiber will take 2-3 weeks to be installed. With my address submitted, the sales agent **** and said it would take 2-3 weeks, instead of doing the right thing and telling me my complex does not have the necessary infrastructure needed for me to get fiber. 2 weeks after signing the papers, I had to phone them to get a progress update, and to my shock was told that I was not able to get Fiber. -> False advertising/blatant lies to secure a sale.

Fast forward 4 months (the time I had to wait for infrastructure and paperwork on the complex and Vodacom side to be finalised), we were informed that scheduling and installation can now take place. I phone Vodacom to log a request for someone to phone me to schedule an installation, yet no feedback. And no calls to schedule. I had to wait 6 working days for feedback, before I PHONED THEM back. I emailed our vcontractor, another sales agent, everything and NOT A SINGLE WORD FROM VODACOM.

Since our complex is now ready for fiber to be installed for a week and a half, Vodacom is halfway in the 2-3weeks period. Get intouch with me to schedule that an installation that will be before end of next week, as I have included the fact that we are out of the country just as your time runs out.

At the moment there is 2 bakkies outside, installing fiber at different neighbors, yet I haven't even gotten a simple call from you guys.

Due course? Really? So here is a titbit for you, I phoned your complaints as I was typing this. Asked to speak to a manager. A manager was not available but was told he will get right back to me. This was 2 hours ago. I have a better idea, how about I start filling out consumer protection act complaints form, and you get a scheduler to call me. Let's see who finishes first? Will give you a 30 minute head start, for old time's sake.

There are 2 teams right outside my door in Aan de Wijnlanden right this moment. Just get one of them to come over and install it.

Was told by the next person (Dean Saunders) that "My query has been escalated" and that "Now we just need to wait for feedback". Needless to say Nathan hasn't even worried about phoning me back.

Vodacom agent sent me an email in reply to this post with a question for my number. Rep**** and still waiting for that call. This is to let people know that even if you see a reply on this page, they pull the same nonsense in private.
