ONT continually flashing. Webafrica act like it my issue.

Since the 7th of November - I've been trying to get WebAfrica to get my ONT device working (Continual flashing PON). Ive spoken to numerous agents. First a Michael O on the 7th who said just wait a few days. Then a Ridhaa on the 10th who transferred me to SFiso who said the Provisioning team will assist. Then Bakang M _ who said they will send someone over from Zoom to replace the ONT. On Monday Thabo from Zoom came and installed a new ONT and said i must wait a few hours and it will be working. Still no change in the ONT PON flashing. This Monday I spoke to a Jean-Pierre who said its the router that must be rest. Did that but as that has nothing to do with the ONT there was still no internet. on Tuesday (18th) i spoke to Azola C who gave the same instructions. "Reset Webafrica router". Did that again. Yet the ONT PON light still just flashes indicating no connection. on Wednesday i again spoke to Azola C again, who logged a callback that never called back. And finally today I spoke to Siphokuhule Z who tried to brush me off by saying there is an outage in Welkom (the home is in Brittania Bay West Coast) and my neighbors fibre is working. Siphokuhule Z then said my service needs to be activated from the backend. Whatever that means.

In short WebAfrica continue to ignore the fact that the PON light is continually flashing and make out as if I can troubleshoot this issue. No customer can fix a flashing PON on an ONT. Thats an issue with the Fibre line owners (Zoom) and the service provider (WebAfrica). But Webafrica just doesn't get it.
