Terrible customer service

Vox is very quick to take you on as a new customer and they send you all the documents within a day. However, when it comes to them fulfilling there obligations, they are a no show.

Got an order update on 2 February 2023, saying that Vuma will be in contact with regards to the installation of infustructure within 14 working days which would be 22 February 2023. Haven't received any communication and when contacting Vox, they say they will escalate it. No response from them either. Cancelled my current fibre with effect from 28 February. In terms of the contract with Vox, it should commence on 1 March 2023 which is tomorrow. Now I won't have any fibre from tomorrow. If I had known this was the service I would receive, I would never have cancelled my current contract. Very poor from Vox.

Thank you, but how does that help if we need the internet from tomorrow as per the agreement in the contract?

Got a call from the Project Management team, they can't tell me when they will sort it out. So now I must go without internet because Vox didn't do what they were supposed to do. Why do you give time frames in the order updates and agree upon a date for the contract to commence if you can't up hold to it?

On 2 February, I got the timeline regarding the process. However, if the order was placed with Vumatel by Vox on 2-3 February when I received the order update, it would have been done within 14 business days which would have complained by 22 February - the latest. Now I'm without fibre, got university and work to do. Vox placed the order with Vumatel today (1 March), so that means I will only have fibre from 20 March latest but according to the contract my fibre should have commenced from today. So I don't see how that is acceptable? Now I must purchase mobile data so I can get my stuff done. So in effect, I'm responsible for this problem as Vox could not fulfill there obligations within the stipulated time frame.

So it's been three days now since commencement date and we still don't know what's going on. Got contacted yesterday regarding our ONT box and then again today requesting pictures of our equipment. The ONT box is the property of Openserve, so that has nothing to with Vox and Vumatel. The woman I spoke to, asked ''What do you want us (Vox) to do?''. I don't know, maybe have my fibre installed as per the agreement. Vox is the ISP, they should know what has to be done. This getting really pathetic now.

The woman I spoke to yesterday said she would speak to her manager and get back to me. Haven't heard anything and now it's weekend, so now I have to wait for Monday and that's not even a guarantee that things will get sorted out. Why does it need to keep going back and forth to different people?

What does it take to get fibre from you? This is really poor customer service.

Guess it will be another day of no fibre and not knowing what's going on.

We still don't have fibre. Vumatel hasn't installed the infrastructure yet so I don't know how the line is active and installation is done. Vumatel was here yesterday to have a look at what needs to be done but nothing was done. Got a notification from Vox to say billing has commenced however we still don't have anything besides a modem.

Our installation from Vumatel has been put in, however it still needs to be spliced. Who does that and how long does it take before someone comes?
