VODACOM = pathetic service and NO Fibre installation

I wish we could give a rating of negative 1000!!!! We have NEVER had an experience like we have had with Vodacom!! We recently moved from one estate where you could ONLY use Vodacom to another where in the newer area of the estate, we can ONLY use Vodacom. We app**** for a transfer from our old house to the new one months ago, to discover....They have no record. We must send the documents again. We did so. Nothing happened. My poor husband kept getting conflicting emails and smses from Vodacom. He eventually called and they were confused. He eventually had to cancel the transfer and then apply to take over the Vodacom service already at the house.... a few days later....at the beginning of Dec (1st) the internet switched off. He calls Vodacom again....there's no record of a transfer and you can't take over an existing account, you must apply for a new service. please send the supporting documents (he has done this a few times now) He spent over an hour on the phone with Vodacom. This continued for a few days. Eventually, Vodacom said we'll do a fibre installation on Tuesday, 9th December at 09h00. It's Tuesday. NO technicians arrived. I waited an hour before I called. The only way Vodacom communicates with the technicians is through EMAIL!!!! Are you kidding me???? If the technicians refuse to answer the email...you sit and wait. I've now spoken to two different people at the call centre. They've sent emails and the technicians haven't responded. I must wait an hour or two for the technician to call me or respond to their email. You CANNOT be serious???? We need fibre for business. We are unfortunate to have to deal with VODACOM again. If You can avoid them....do so!! Their service to the customer is pathetic. There seems to be no resolutions and we are still sitting without fibre. We started the whole process more than a month and a half ago and did as instructed by VODACOM and apparently they don't actually know what they are doing.

Reviewer Update
It has been 24 hours (within 2 hours). NOTHING was resolved. NO ONE from VODACOM contacted me. My husband spoke to several people, including a supervisor who actually told him that there isn't fibre in our area!!!! How ludicrous. The previous person's router is sitting in the living room and we had access to their internet until 1 December when their's shut off and ours was to be active. Fast forward 10 days and NOTHING has happened. Vodacom cannot legally call their tech team who install, which is what they told us. They can ONLY send emails. We are sitting without FIBRE even though we app**** weeks ago and had a confirmation email and sms for our installation yesterday which NEVER HAPPENED!!!!!! The technician NEVER called me. The agent NEVER CALLED ME as he said HE WOULD TO FOLLOW UP. VODACOM NEVER CONTACTED US, NEVER RESOLVED THIS TO OUR SATISFACTION IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR CLIENTS BUT GIVE THEM THE RUN AROUND WITH PATHETIC INNANE EXCUSES.
