VUMATEL COME ON, GET YOUR SH#T together

VERY slack service, I understand that the load shedding must have an adverse affect, but it still feels like VUMATEL has just given up. My parents live in an old age home and they have been without internet for 5 days now. Little action from MWEB and less action from VUMATEL. My parents sim cards don't connect in the home and the ONLY contact they have with me and emergency services comes from WHATSAPP and Internet connectivity. If i could bill for the amount of hours I have spent on the line trying to get resolution, I would be an exceptionally wealthy person....

Hi,

I appreciate the quick response.


The account is Brian Grunebaum
Unit E1
Golden Acres, 85 George Street Sandringham
Acc number(MWEB): ***2

Fault was logged with MWEB on the 22nd of Feb. There has been some back and forth in us calling, and being told the fault is being worked on and then was sent to Vumatel (according to MWEB) for repairs.

If you can assist, PLEASE, I would be grateful, my Father has Alzheimers and my mother has to leave their unit in order to contact MWEB or Vumatel (as I mentioned, the Cell doesn't work in the apartment), which means my father wanders off when he is alone (plus the fact that they need the internet in order to be able to contact myself or emergency) makes this a very difficult situation for us.

Don't know how to change the rating, but since I put in my complaint, Vumatel contacted me almost straight away, their technicians went to my parents today and sorted out the fault. MY ONLY complaint is WHY did I have to get to this level of frustration to get this resolved. BRILLIANT customer service. My parents are in contact and sense of peace and safety has been restored. SO HAPPY
