Warning to would be Vodacom Fibre customers

My Vodacom Fibre went offline on 1 April 2021 and is still offline. So I could not stream and my son could not play online over a long weekend. I logged a ticket on 1 April and all I get at every interaction ,whether on a call or twitter, is that it will be referred or assigned to a technician who will contact me. I am still waiting, More than 5 days later. This is the second time I have had experienced terrible service from Vodacom in about 3 to 4 weeks. So this is a warning to anyone considering using Vodacom Fibre. Rather find another ISP that is not also a cellular service provider. Maybe Vox or webafrica would do a better job.

Just spoke to Ameer at @ 13h55. The arrogance he displayed is beyond belief. So I lost my cool and used bad language. Then he calls me back to confirm what words I used. Then drops the phone in my ear. Bad service should not be celebrated and those who provide the bad service should not feel offended when called out on it. This is really the apex of not understanding what a customer is. Working for Vodacom does not make you special.

Once again, I have to question when "in due course" is? I have not been contacted since 1 April. So please don't post generic replies to complaints on hellopeter to create the impression that you care about your customers. The only person who made some effort to seem caring was Dean, who I spoke to on 5 April. He promised that the matter has been escalated to his manager and to the technician responsible for resolving my problem. Still no call from Vumatel or Vodacom.

Day 7 without fibre. And still nobody has called me from Vodacom or Vumatel. This is what Vodacom regards as service. So potential customers beware. Read the complaints from other people before you fall into this trap.

Day 16 and still no fibre. The worst service and nobody has responded to these ratings. So Vodacom really doesn't care. Absolute arrogance is all I can think of when a company just does not bother to fix a problem.
