I have had constant problems and dropping of the connection. They are as bad as Telkom when it comes to no credible support processes or staff. They constantly tell me my equipment is faulty. I have swopped the wan connection from Sonic to Telkom LTE connection then all the problems i have with buffering and dropping connections disappear, yet they will continue to tell me its my equipment. Today i could not host aa teams video call where i am the host, i then tried to watch the F1 online streaming what a disaster, i had to watch the race using my mobile data whilst i am paying for an uncapped internet service.

Since I've been using this isp its been a constant fight over slow/no connection, wifi problems and service delivery. There customer service is utterly useless in resolving issues. You wont believe the amount of tickets logged per week. This is just a never ending story of bad service.

I am disgusted with the lack of support i am getting from your company, I have logged my request on 3 different platforms last week - until today the matter has still not been resolved. An agent Thompson confirmed to me via email that someone would call me at 6 - I'm still waiting 36 hours later. Your whatsapp chat also useless - 4 hours - still nothing and I sent a message twice !! My request is so simple i cannot believe that its taking nearly 3 days to get it resolved. This is extremely annoying and just a complete waste of my time. Better yet send me the instructions and i will change the details myself

On Friday evening 31 January 2020, about 22h45 internet connection was lost, which eventually lasted until Saturday afternoon about 12h00. Needless to say Sonic's Facebook page almost exploded as a result as they don't provide a 24hour support service and their first response was only received after 08h00 on Saturday morning 01 February 2020. In the mean time neither their email support or their Whatts App support provided any feedback until very much later on the Saturday as well. Then on Sunday morning 02 February the internet connection was lost again and needless to say Sonic's Facebook page again exploded from unhappy customers demanding to know what is causing it etc. No detailed feedback other than an excuse that it was beyond their control, something to the effect of their upstream provider which is at fault was provided. Then all of a sudden about a hour or so later they decided to discontinue their Facebook page comments, as they presumable couldn't stomach all the negative feedback they received from justifiably irrrate and unhappy customers. Honestly being with Sonic for over 5yrs on wireless internet at first, this was the first time since I switched to Fibre with them on July 2019, that such an outage occurred, hence my personal experience is perhaps much better than some of the other customers who voiced their unhappiness on FB of course. But the manner in which they handled this crisis (which was a massive one, the biggest I've personally experienced during a 5yr period) was not good at all. Sonic will have to seriously consider providing a 24hour service and subsequently train their support staff how to react to such issues by responding to their customers immediately via their email and Whatts App support options. Not every one is on Facebook and clearly they didn't like the negative response on their page, hence the comments were discontinued, but what do you expect if you don't react promptly to the customer's concerns when such a huge outage occurs. So time will tell if they are able or willing to provide a 24 hours service in the light of the vast amount of money one spends on internet services per month, which would be a good starting point for sure.

I recently moved from Telkom to Sonic/ GE Force - What a JOKE - SHOCKING SHOCKING service. They DONT disclose information regarding contracts. Once you sign YOU cant get out of the contract and they are NOWHERE to be found after the contract is signed. They DONT disclose properly to you and now you are in bed with Sonic/ Mercantile Bank/ GE Force. I had to get Vodacom over and above these Jokers. Please NEVER EVER TOUCH these companies - You will be ever so sorry. Bad Service/ Lies/ Deceit #101

Another outage, this time the entire Northern Suburbs are affected!!!! I'm tired of these people and the service, every time "something" goes wrong it is an upstream provider, or Eskom, or another provider or better still, theft but never their own systems that go down. Ping times are the worst, packet drops every 5-10 packets.There is no stand-by, after hours if something goes wrong it takes hours to restore the service. I have had enough as a premium paying customer I have had it now. You only have excuses, no "proactive" approach to your technical issues but a reactive, "we will react only after a client complains" seems to be your motto and then it still takes hours, perhaps your staff is not adequately qualified to deal with the problem. Get your act in order!!!!
