VUMATEL AGENT ( Phumeza who works in the front line ) refusing to assist clients

My experience with VUMATEL was horrible, the cable was cut from outside my yard and I was requested to pay for damages . I refused this is not my fault ,that cable is not even in my yard and way to high that I could reach. I could not do my work at home and forced to go to work and explain to my manager that I could not work due to this matter which is still not solved . On top of it all the customer service was terrible some call center agents to be specific Phumeza who works in the front line she refused to to give her surname . She refused to transfer my call to maintenance or superior she kept telling me she was working from home how do i expect her to transfer tor help me and had attitude . I spend 2 hours on the phone with no assistance she ended up hanging up . Nondumiso was the only person really trying to help me with my case by trying to persuade Phumeza in transferring the call too maintenance and she had no luck they kept putting us on hold and eventually hung up without hearing me out . Phumeza wasted my time and refused to help me. I recorded her and wanted to speak to the manager to hear what they can say about such misconduct . As it is I am told they will not send anyone to fix this unfortunately . My question is since the cables are outside is it my responsibility to climb on top of my roof to check if there are no faults with the wiring or cable ? I am very angry if this was communicated to me I would have never signed up for such . The run around , my airtime wasted , the rudeness of agents is disgusting .

Worst experience ever with vumatel. Technician told me he saw this cable for the fiber was going to cut due to the way the pole was standing and he took pics stating this needs to be fixed September before this incident happened. He was honest and told me he knew the cable would cut and that it needed to be fixed and raised the issue but no one came to fix it. He had pictures that he took when they installed my Fibre but still vuma blames me and my neighbor that it cut whereas it's the people that installed the fiber that didn't care how they do their job. They deducted money from my account for a service they not serving me. I work from home have to buy data use my cell to work due to this. I would never recommend this service provider or Fibre to anyone till this very day they trying to get loop holes about this matter where as they know they in the wrong. They rush to take my money when I need help they give me stories all the time and won't refund me as it is.

Hi Mbali 

The team has advised that a written permission will have to be obtained from your neighbor before a re-installation can take place.
