Throtteling of feed

Since i joined Voxtelecom almost a year ago ,i noticed that my internet speed was getting slower near half of a month and normal again at the start of a new month.On complaining, Vox was of the opinion that the fault was at Telkom.Vox sent Telkom to my house who determined that Vox is throtteling my internet feed.I have an uncapped 4mbps contract at Vox.Tests done on the speed gives results of less then 1mbps.Only good for cellular usage and not for streaming my series' on my lovely Showmax.After numerous emails Vox responded saying that they have a fair usage policy.This means that if a user used a certain amount of data that such user is limited to 1mbps for the duration of that month.I am not getting that even.I have forwarded results of tests to at least 3 persons at Vox.No response.I enquired as such policy was not in my contract.No response.I received an email that my query was solved and that they spoke to me.I disputed this and complained again.No reponse from Vox.I sent numerous emails to employees at Vox whom i dealt with.No response.According to my contract I should contact a certain body should I have a complaint with my service provider.That email address for complaints on a template does not exist.I did reasearch and found a new address for this body.Requesting that they should contact me.A month went by without response.I want to get rid of this contract but my contract does not stipulate the procedures.Stupid of me but I never contemplated divorce.I hope through this forum,Hellopeter,that Voxtelecom could at least contact me.I still pay my monthly fees.

I was contacted by Brandon of Voxtelecom.He wants me to believe that:1)fibre is slower than adsl(i was under impression that it is the other way around);2)that Vox does not throttle but that Open Serve does !!!I find this ridiculous.That is why the throtteling aspect is not in my contract!!3)that capped lines are better and faster than uncapped lines.I always thought that an uncapped line brings comfort and assurance.Vox never responded to my allegations on how this matter was handled and the drawn out processes to address it....I find this unproffessional.I mentioned to Brandon that since we are at the beginning of a new month ,I would expect to receive my full 4Mbps as per contract.I do not.On 4/02/18 my internetspeed was 2,3Mbps.I want to get rid of this company.Still they do not respond on how the contract can be ended as it is not stipulated in the contract.

Dear hellopeter,thank you for this forum.The relationship between me and Voxtelecom was ended.I do not believe that this would have been the case if it was not for you.I still do not have closure on my "short paid" internet speed.But some things are better left for sake of sanity.Thank you.
