Firstly don't be fooled by the nice 5 star reviews on Hello Peter by people who say Bonitas Medical Fund gave good service. I will agree their service and response is good but is that what you really need when you in a medical emergency. Let me tell you why bonitas gets a 1 star from me. I have been with them for probably last 4 to 5 years. This year all my benefits for General practitioners and Specialists are finished. You know why. Because Bonitas in their educated surveys they said they did found it OK to allocate only R4500 for 3 people for both General Practitioners and Specialist visits. So Bonitas thought it good to combine General Practitioners and Specialist visits for R4500. Let's do the math's. No GP charges less than R500 and no specialist charges less than R1500. So I saw a specialist once and my child saw a specialist once. That means R3000 off from this R4500. That leaves you with R1500 to use at GP which means about 3 visits or if you dare to do a follow up to the specialist than go once. Bonitas has become the capitalist of the medical industry. Worst is they put their premiums up in April 2023. Let's do more maths.Altogether we pay R5000 per month for this medical aid. If I was to take out a hospital plan for emergencies it would cost R2000 max per month. R3000 saved per month I can have R36000 for GP and Specialist. That is 24 specialist vista. Or 70 GP visits. Who is robbing who here. I can't wait for NHI to put companies like Bonitas out of business. I just feel for the people working there trying to sell this over the hill medical aid to poor unsuspecting customers. BOTTOM LINE, STAY AWAY FROM BONITAS, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE A SINKING SHIP. RATHER LOOK AT DISCOVERY AND SIZWE. BUT BONITAS. AS SOON AS I HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE I'M LEAVING THIS SHIP AND RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES IN THE SHARK INVESTED WATER. GOODBYE BONITAS I WILL ATTEND YOUR FUNERAL.
Sentech is responsible to install the TV top boxes provided by the government to pensioners. My uncle who is a pensioner has applied in September 2023 for this installation. As of this date Sentech has still not issued this installation to a certified installer. I know this because I contacted them by email and was told the installation has not been issued to a installer. What is worse is that there are pensioners from the same old age home my uncle is from who has applied before my uncle and they have not received their installations.
I have been with using Home Connect for Fibre Internet Provider for a while. Recently they pushed up their MI thly fees from R388 to R488 without increasing their download or upload speeds or any other service. So prospective customers be aware you may fall in this trap.
We buried my father with Doves. All went well till they day of the funeral when they sent a hurse to drive the funeral that had a big damage to the lefthand side of the rear fender. Confronted the manager about it he admitted to damage and even says that it would cost to much to rent another hurse for the funeral.
On the link below they say on their website that application for donations are closed till April 2022. Yet it is April 2022 already and they not accepting applications. When you call the call Centre to ask for assistance with this they very incompetent they don't want to answer calls and assist. Very very bad service from Mr. Price who has forgotten who made them great. https://mrpricefoundation.org/contact-us/
We had our internet down because of some issue from Frogfoot. This issue was resolved but my internet was still down. I logged a ticket with Home-Connect and a support technician named Jocelyn contacted me. She was very professional and knew what she was doing. Once again thank you Jocelyn and Home-Connect, give that girl a raise.
I was with them for a very long time longer than I wish to remember. Now that I recently phone them with an enquiry on my account they treat me as if I'm a leper. If you call them and you choose the option that you are a new client then one two rings and they pick the phone up. But God forbid you choose option two on the automated voice prompt. Loyalty is the last thing they concerned about all you get when you choose option two is waiting 10 to 20 minutes with only the automated voice telling you we experiencing high call volumes. But just try it out hang the phone up call again and choose option one then just like that a rude African lady you clearly knows nothing about customer service tells you send an email to csu@debtbusters.co.za...guess what I have done that they don't respond. MY ADVICE TO ANYBODY WHO ARE THINKING OF USING DEBT BUSTERS... DON'T... THEY OBVIOUSLY ONLY LOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS AND ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH HELPING THE OLD GET OUT OF TROUBLE THEY WILL LEAVE YOU IN DEBT TILL GOD COMES AGAIN.
Tried calling 0414059111 to find out how my aunt was doing since no visitors is allowed in hospital. I choose the final option offered which was for the operator but no answer. When I called again I tried the number 8 option which was information. Here all they did was to put me on hold directly and then phone went off.
I gave Rain 1 star rating above not because they deserve it but only because I could not continue writing a review here unless I give a rating. If I should be honest Rain deserves a negative rating. My reasons for this is because Rain obviously falls into that sector of service providers that offers you the world and once they have your payments they forget about you and dont even want to hear your complaints. For this reason I am very grateful for platforms like Hellopeter that gives normal isolated individual customers back their dignity and power so that other people can not fall into same trap as those who have gone before. Even more importantly that companies like Rain either get their act together or they get out of business...so thank you Hellopeter good job...My review is aimed at those who come to this site and being wise enough finds out all they can about the many internet service providers they have a choice about...when I joined Rain the first month was good...no buffering everything was great...second month I started having downloading speeds of 0.5mbps and uploading speeds of 2mbps...this is dinasaur speeds and you can do absolutely nothing with it...I can still forgive this as something went wrong so just contact us as Rain and we fix it for you...forget about it ever happening...Rain has no fixed cell number or phone number to contact them...only way of contact is a online form you must fill in and then they get back to you in the next 24 to 48 hours...IMAGINE THAT YOUR CHILD HAVING TO DO SCHOOL WORK OR YOU WATCHING A MOVIE NOW IMMEDIATELY BUT THEY WILL HEAR YOU THE NEXT DAY...LOL...was my problem solved...lol I am on Hellopeter so no...the only time a person from Rain contacted me with the name Fatima was when I first posted on Hellopeter and she emailed Hellopeter to say sje will contact me soon...the weekend go past no contact only the next week Monday do a Donne A contact me to enquire about my problem. She tells me what to do to improve speeds and tells me I must contact her if I have any problems...I do all she says in her email it still doesnt improve...I email her no response...I see there a cell number on the emails she sent me 081610 1000...all they say on there is they dont take calls or emails or any communication because of Covid...lol...so what about us...they have my R479 already what now...after hellopeter and having warned potential buyers not to use Rain so Fatimas and Donnes and others at Rain can not have their next salary for their no service they provide I will report them to their adopted father CellC and then Icasa...FINAL WORDS STAY AWAY FROM RAIN THEY ABSOLUTELY SUCK AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET..
FIRST MONTH OF HAVING MONTH TO MONTH UNLIMITED FOR R479 WAS OKAY. SECOND MONTH SPEEDS DROPPED TO DOWNLOADING AT 0.5MBPS...UPLOADING 2.5MBPS...TRYING TO CONTACT RAIN IS WORTHLESS THEY USE ONLY EMAIL AND THEIR RESPONSE TO IT IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED WITH ANY PROVIDER...THEY SAY IT MONTH TO MONTH WHERE YOU SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER TO PAY OR NOT BUT THEY DEBIT MY ACCOUNT...GOING TO COMPETITION COMMISSION WITH THEM I DONT BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE OPERATING IN OUR MARKET THEY CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE....
