Based on recent customer reviews, MetroFibre Networx shows a sharply polarised customer experience. Praise centres on individual installers and technicians who deliver fast, professional setup. However, the experience deteriorates significantly post-installation, with persistent complaints about unreachable support, AI-driven call deflection, billing errors, prolonged outages, and accounts being suspended despite proof of payment. Customers describe feeling trapped between MetroFibre and their ISPs with no accountability.

However, the experience deteriorates significantly post-installation, with persistent complaints about unreachable support, AI-driven call deflection, billing errors, prolonged outages, and accounts being suspended despite proof of payment. Customers describe feeling trapped between MetroFibre and their ISPs with no accountability.
MetroFibre Networx's biggest strength, according to Hellopeter's AI analysis, is Installation, Activation & Setup. Installation (6.1) is the strongest area, with named technicians like Ben W, Riaan, Mohamed, Adolf and Bert repeatedly praised for punctuality, professionalism, clear explanations and quick same-day or next-day setup. However, activation delays and missed appointments still pull the average down.

Hi I have been with the network since 2024 and have experienced several issues, which I have previously let slide. However, this recent experience has been the worst to date. On multiple occasions, when someone in my complex reports an issue, technicians are dispatched to reconnect their service, after which my connection gets cut off. I have raised this with Metrofibre before, but no resolution was provided. Most recently, I lost connection on Saturday, 23 May Morning, shortly after a technician left the premises after reconnecting another user. I immediately called and was advised that the same technicians would return to reconnect my service. Guess WHAT!! no one attended to the matter. I logged the issue again the same day and was informed on Monday that the query was at the top of their list. Despite numerous follow-up calls and emails, I was only reconnected this afternoon—six days later. This prolonged outage has had a financial impact on me, as I had to purchase mobile data to continue working during this period. I would appreciate urgent feedback on this matter, as well as clarity on the steps being taken to prevent this from happening again.

Between March and April ,I did not pay for Fibre as I was aware that there is no contract in place. In addition, metrofibre works on a PREPAID basis on their Month to Month deal and on the 5th , they will automatically disconnect a line for nonpayment. On the 5/05/26 , payment was made and my connection was restored until the 21/05/26.After enquiring, I was told that my account is in arrears! -How does a month to month end up in arrears? -I do not have a contract with metrofibre and their website it states that their services are prepaid, how is possible to be in arrears? And by the way, PREPAID means that if one does not pay upfront, you do not receive the services and there will be no financial liability - Metrofibre has been suspending services, monthly, on the 5th, if payment has not been done. How then does one owe an account that operates on a prepaid basis? I find Metrofibre to be disingenuous and misleading consumers by claiming that their plans are month to month and that their model operates on a prepaid basis. I want my services restored and credited for the days my service has been suspended.

I had speed issues from the last few days. I was on 1000 mbps line but i am only getting 60 mbps which was escalated to metrofibre and they have sent technicians to swap wifi router and lost internet from 11 am before swap was initiated and still no feedback from metrofibre.Now the swap is also unsuccesful.
