Placed an order for Fibre with Afrihost to take advantage of the 'Save up to R4000' offer.

Got the 'Welcome to the Afrihost Family' email stating that Fibre is available in my area and that I will be contacted by TT Connect to arrange installation of the Fibre line.

At around the 1 week mark I got an sms from TT Connect stating that they received my order for Fibre.

At about the 3 week mark another sms from TT Connect stating that they will contact me soon to arrange installation.

At the 6 week mark an email from Afrihost stating that TT Connect will not be able to provide Fibre since they do not have infrastructure in my area, so they will be cancelling my order!

WTF went wrong ... Afrihost or TT Connect needs to take responsibility and man up!

Heya J_R. I'm so sorry to hear the long delay with regards to getting your fibre installed. :( As much as we can push from our side, we are ultimately at the mercy of the work orders created by the fibre providers themselves. It's often hard to give a guaranteed ETA as work orders may change. The Fibre provider will generally get in touch to confirm a date.

Please feel free to PM me your account info and I'll be sure to escalate this with our Fibre Team and get a more definitive answer for you. :)
 
Pomona, Kempton Park ... On the Afrihost map I'm inside the service area, TT Connect however has me outside the coverage area?

Got your PM. :) Let's take it from there.
 
Just got 'Your Afrihost Fibre Services are scheduled for cancellation on 2017-03-17'

Sorry about that, it sounds like they were not able to process the order at this time and may have cancelled the order to avoid confusion. I can confirm for you if you drop me a PM :(
