yep, complete rubbish as usual.
a shame their damn invoice system never goes down.

Same here, and we dont have a lot of options in that area. Telkom LTE and 4Mbps adsl. We need some fibre in that area!!. Neotel LTE has become so unreliable now, worse than telkom adsl.

The last feedback I got was that they are aware of the congestion problem and they need to build more towers in the area. 6 to 8 months.

Can you guys post your line stats when performing a test?

My line seems to be happy 95% of the time (unless it is being jammed...)

Sent them an email a while ago, regarding this product. Their sales team too in the rigion or a week or two, or three to reply. Decided there and then that I'll rather stick to my ADSL.

Does anyone have contact details for senior management at Neotel?

I cancelled this piece of trash service 15 March 2016 in writing, obviously no reply.
I follow up again first week in April asking them to knowledge cancellation, no reply.
15 April follow up again with mail and calls, they say they'll get back to me.
Meanwhile March...April...May deductions keep going via unauthorized debit order.
End May they sent a team to come and collect their @#$@ equipment.
Called bank in May to enable stop order. June payment goes off, I have bank reverse it last Friday.
Low and behold today I get threatening letters from a debt collection agency saying NEOTEL has handed me over and that somehow April (which they got paid for) and June payment which I reversed are all sitting in 60 days.
WTF!
WTF!!
WTF!!!

They use name.surename@neotel.co.za email address format. You can try and email the directors https://www.neotel.co.za/wps/portal/neotel_leadership_team

Edit : They need to update their website as the MD, CEO and CCSO left Neotel last year.
