AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, MetroConnect is facing significant dissatisfaction across its fibre and prepaid internet offerings. Customers consistently mention frustration with unresolved support queries, with a recurring theme of being passed between departments without resolution. Many describe lengthy delays in installations after payment, poor communication following system migrations, and difficulty reaching agents through phone, email, or WhatsApp channels. A common sentiment is that billing and deductions are processed promptly while service activation, technical fixes, and follow-through fall short of expectations for an essential connectivity provider.

Terrible customer support, poor communication, and unacceptable service
I have been trying to get assistance from Metro Connect Fibre since 08:00 this morning and now it’s 12:30pm with no success. The support process is extremely frustrating — you are first handled by an automated system, then transferred to an agent, only to be told that your issue belongs to a different account or department. However, no one provides a direct contact to reach the correct team. You are simply sent around in circles. To make matters worse, when you finally speak to an agent, you are told that there is an “upgrade” being carried out. It is very concerning that such upgrades are being done during normal working hours, causing service disruption to customers. Even more surprising is being told that the team responsible for this work only operates during standard business hours (08:00–17:00). For a technical service provider, this type of arrangement is unacceptable. As a customer, this reflects poor planning, lack of communication, and no regard for service availability. Metro Connect needs to improve their customer support process by: - Providing direct contact details for relevant departments - Ensuring proper internal routing of customer issues - Scheduling maintenance or upgrades outside of peak usage hours - Taking accountability instead of passing customers around At this point, the service experience is extremely poor and needs urgent attention.

Bad internet and customer service.
After being moved to a new customer system, my wifi has not been working for tbe paat 4days. I kept on phoning, since Saturday, and still nobody can assist me. They are too busy. I must wait for a call back, even that also doesn't happen. After spending almost R300 on airtime, again holding on for 40 minutes this afternoon, I was told they will again request a call back. Metro Connect moved their customers to this new system without letting us know. And now they just pulling up their shoulders, and the customer must pay the price. Such bad, very bad service provider.

Absolutely shocking service from Metro Fibre/ Connect – Paid and ignored for a full month
I registered for fibre installation with Metro Fibre on 25 February and was clearly told the process would take 7–14 days. Today is 25 March — a full month later — and there has been zero communication from their side. The only thing Metro Fibre was quick to send was an invoice, which I paid immediately. After taking my money, they completely disappeared. No installation date. No updates. No explanation. Nothing. I have spent the entire day calling, texting, and emailing with no response and no solution. This is beyond poor service — it is blatant disregard for customers. At this point, it honestly feels like once payment is made, customers are no longer a priority. This level of incompetence and lack of accountability is unacceptable for any company, especially one providing an essential service like internet. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed. If this is how Metro Fibre treats new customers, I strongly advise others to think twice before signing up. DO NOT ****ING DO IT! I expect immediate contact and a confirmed installation date.

Overdue Installation Services
I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks waiting for an installation. Everyday I’ve been calling, always excuses. Every agent says they are escalating the issue. Emails they don’t reply, WhatsApp they don’t reply. Even their lines, always busy. I wish my area had a different fibre provider really.

30-day free pass access Not Loaded
I registered on their website and paid an activation fee for a prepaid service around last month. That time I still held an account with MetroFibre. The first time one of their install agents came through, he saw that I still had an account with MetroFibre. He said he can't do the install until my service with MetroFibre is terminated, told me to get to it and call him when the service is terminated. I then terminated my service with MetroFibre who scheduled the said termination for end of January. On Thursday the 5th of Feb, MetroConnect sent their agent to come and do the installation. But there was no connection. I notified their office; they then sent me a document on Feb 8th (Sunday). On Tuesday (Feb 10th) I managed to complete the activation but couldn't confirm if it went through because the free 30-day network access was not loaded. On Wednesday I managed to load a one-day access just to test if the connection was activated. I tested it and it was indeed activated. I then notified them that I managed to complete the activation, but they need to load my 30-day free pass as per their package activation agreement. The are not responding, I'm being ignored. This whole process should have taken a day, on the installation day. They don't communicate, to tell you what's next, they don't have a process to tell customers what they need to do after installation to actually be able to connect. If the expectation is that customers have to self-activate, they should tell them in advance before the installation is done. This way the customer can do it immediately after installation. The 30-day free pass should be activated as soon as the activation is completed, that way the customer can test the connection and be online immediately. This whole process included me having to initiate communication to say the device is installed but I can't connect. They don't even bother to respond; I have to keep asking them to respond to my emails. I still don't have my 30-day free pass, no response from MetroConnect. The admin service is just ridiculous; they don't respect their customers. If you are selling a service, you need to have a process in place to have it activated and not wait for customers to keep running after you. Irate Customer

Long periods of maintenance with no connection
Worst service received from this company. It’s almost a week now with no internet connection. I keep calling and getting passed around from Connect to Fibre to Go it’s so frustrating with no clear indication to when the internet connection will be resolved. I paid for interview connection only to sit with no internet and no ETR!!!!!!
