Possibly the worst company in South Africa

What a train wreck. We had our line installed on Monday. It took until Thursday to finally get us live. Yesterday the service went down & it's been down ever since. No one answers the phone, no one comes back if you mail. This is most possibly even worse than Vodacom. So here we sit, with no service & we're paying for this nonsense. And it doesn't help contacting Vox either. If you're thinking of going for either Vumatel or Vox, don't.

I can't believe Vumatel expects me to divulge my address on this platform. Just shows how little they care about client security & privacy.

Thank you for taking our call. Kindly note that we have tried to refresh your port, as well as the IP lease but the router is still not responding. Please contact the ISP for further assistance in this regard.

Absolutely shocking 'service'. Vumatel blames Vox & Vox blames Vumatel. The Vox technician has now been & confirms the problem is on Vumatel's side. But to get hold of Vumatel is impossible. They just do not answer. And still we are offline. Ref no ISP-961028 has now been logged since Vumatel summarily closed the previous log. How do you Vumatel, close a complaint when nothing has been resolved & we're still offline? Pathetic!

We're back online. I appreciate the assistance from Thandizile, but I cannot say that my opinion of Vumatel has changed. I find it unacceptable that a service provider goes out of their way to make it impossible for clients to contact them. Time will tell if they can change my opinion of them
