Pathetic service from VUMATEL

I woke up 25th April to an outage which was in Bluedowns when I question webafrica which is an ISP for Vumatel mind you I live in Khayelitsha. I followed up on Monday and they said Bluedowns is fixed, but I was still offline. I followed up again and my los red light was not going away. still today 13 May I am still offline. WEBAFRICA keeps on telling me they waiting on update from Vumatel. How are my kids expected to do school work, I pay my account I am supposed to be wroking from home.

Hi Vuma team

I understand your concern about your safety. When you installed my connection last year Khayelitsha was still and has been a high risk area. What about my connection, what about me, I am supposed to be working from home...how long do I wait until this is resolved cause I am sure you also dont know.
It is a very huge inconvinience, so long I keep on paying for something not working. For three weeks no connection, I need..... actually demand a refund.

No one has even bothered to call me to check what seems to be the issue. All you know is giving me starndard responses. Haver you actually looked, I have over 8 emails from Webafrica and 4 emails from Vumatel telling me about my problem being escalated....what is the problem????
your tickect response speaks about you responding form 4-72hrs. but still today no one has bothered to contact me via telephonically and ask for me to reboot or something and I am not talking about speaking to a robot. Have comapsion people, your company is a company because of people like us. what if the whole of khayelitsha can be offline tomorrow.... are you going to tell them about safety issues. No man, no, no.
