Hi Captain Axxess,
I need urgent senior management intervention regarding my pending Vumatel line activation. My physical Fibre Termination Box and ONT were installed more than a week ago under the explicit promise that activation would take 2-3 days.
Instead, I have been caught in a frustrating loop of finger-pointing and broken promises: 1. On Thursday, I escalated this to the Head of Operations. I received a lengthy apology but no resolution—only further stalling requests for information and photos to prove the ONT has power (which it does).
2. Yesterday (Friday), both Axxess and Vumatel sent notifications demanding I be available at 16:00 to finalise the line. Vumatel even messaged about an unscheduled technician visit at 11:30. I arranged my entire day to accommodate this.
3. Later in the afternoon, without a single courtesy call or email to me, Vumatel simply updated my online portal profile to state the activation is "on hold." This level of customer service and total lack of communication is completely unacceptable.
Both providers have failed to deliver a basic connection despite the hardware being fully installed for over a week. Please pass this directly to your senior network operations managers to get Vumatel to flip the switch.

Thanks for reaching out @TsimaneP,

Looks like there was an issue on the fibre network affecting your address before the installation was completed. We do apologise for this - We're seeing that a maintenance appointment has been booked for today, and we're also escalating this from our end.

Why is this mentioned after my email to the CEO? I have been checking connectivity with other known users of the same fibre line in the estate and they never reported any outage.

Unfortunately, I don't have visibility into emails sent to our CEO, but I would be more than happy to connect you with the appropriate team to assist with your request on that email.
 
It’s not about the email to your CEO, it is about the claim that the line has issues
 
Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us.

As previously mentioned, Vumatel has scheduled a maintenance team to visit your premises to thoroughly investigate and resolve the ongoing issue affecting your line. We fully recognize how inconvenient this delay has been, and we sincerely appreciate your continued patience and understanding while this is being sorted out.

Please be assured that this matter has been formally escalated and is receiving heightened priority from our management team to ensure a quick resolution.

Thank you again for your patience, and we hope you have a pleasant rest of your day.
