AXXESS BUT NO AXXESS

For the last few months I've had a frustrating experience with Axxess as my ISP in Montevista Cape Town. We initially subscribed to a 100/100 Mbps plan but consistently received only 50/50 Mbps speeds. Hoping for an improvement, we upgraded to a 200/200 Mbps plan, but the problem persisted, with speeds still well below the advertised rates. Our attempts to resolve the issue have been met with lengthy calls and emails to Axxess. We have been through 3 different speed test sites and all confirm the lower speeds. We've diligently proven that our home hardware is not the problem by providing screenshots of network speeds achieved via a cat6 cable connection and verifying the network adapters on our laptops. Despite this evidence, Axxess has not taken any meaningful steps to rectify the situation. What's even more frustrating is that Axxess continues to charge us exorbitant amounts for a service we are clearly not receiving. Their tech support has been unhelpful, and our repeated attempts to raise tickets have resulted in automatic closures without any resolution. We keep sending the screenshots and they keep emailing to say they didnt receive it and are dragging their feet. Ticket numbers just to name a few, 4gc2h4dhk8, 78776d8a54 In summary, our experience with Axxess has been a constant disappointment. We're paying for a service that falls far short of its promises, and the lack of adequate customer support makes the situation even more aggravating. We hope that others dont fall victim to this.

Ive never been with an IPS this bad before, constant faulty connection, TERRIBLE customer service, snarky WhatsApp assistance.

If anyone is reading this and thinking of using Axxess for ANY internet service (LTE, Fibre) dont waste your time and money. I promise you that you are not going to get what you pay for. You are going to sit with no connection for weeks every month with NO assistance from their customer service

Axxess service is good until you need…

Axxess service is good until you need to speak to their customer services, I got robbed and called them to request a sim swap, they sent me a new SIM card and the SIM card still does not work after 5 days of receiving it. When I call them all their advisors give different information some say they entered the wrong serial number of the SIM card and others are saying there is an issue with sim swaps. On the other side my SIM card is being used because I still receive emails from them for data usage which means the sim swap has not been done and whoever found my phone is using my data and I still don’t have a SIM card. Their customer services advisor place you on hold for 20 minutes just for asking a simple question.

Terrible

Terrible service but most of all the connection was terrible. Faults all the time, up to 3 times a week with a 72 hours waiting time with no internet. They cancelled my connection 4 days in advance. I missed the second half of the rugby finals because of their nonsense. I do not recommend them at all. Bad accross the board. An actual waste of money.

During September 2023 I was searching for an internet service provider. Google advised axxess. After reading the many bad reviews from, I suppose now ex-customers, I decided to refrain from even contacting axxess. Word-of-mouth has proven to be the best information any consumer can get! Thank you to those consumers for speaking up.

Customer Service Lacking

Sigh. This company can't resolve a recurring issue where my router can't connect my laptop to the net. It's an issue that they've been able to resolve before. To say that it causes a great degree of professional discomfort is an understatement. Tech support seems to have been down skilled. Maybe it's better to give them a skip.

Don't bother with Axxess. They don't care

If there were no stars to give I would. Terrible service. Added another address omto my account which I've had for years, it's been 5 days, still no activation. No cares given. No communication, just say they'll escalate. Spent 2 hours on the phone resetting my router, only to find out next day Vuma has not even activated the line. Seriously costing me business, loss of income and no cares given. Pathetic

If I could give this 0 stars I would

If I could give this 0 stars I would! It’s been an absolute FREAKSHOW. I cannot believe they call themselves a company! I applied for fibre at the end of April 2023. Within 3 days I got confirmation that they would come install my router (since there was already a line). They came that Friday and started installation, until they said the fibre line was too long and that I should wait for maintenance (they left all wires open in my garden in the rain). Maintenance NEVER SHOWED UP. Called them multiple times that day, the next day, the next Monday and Tuesday. They showed up Wednesday evening and again was so rude it was unbelievable. Then the next problem (that took a week to resolve) cane up. Our router was not registered. Had to send them images and struggle for another few days. This brings us to yesterday (17 May) and they said it’s active, yet I have no internet connection. Now they are demanding payments within 24 hours or my line will be suspended and my account will be cancelled. What am I supposed to pay for? I have been yelled at, sworn at and disrespected this while journey AND I STILL HAVE NO INTERNET.

From ok to worse than telkom

They were good back in 2017/2019 but this year has been absolutely terrible. They are like the new telkom and vumatel. Terrible service and only a handful of staff are good but unfortunately they are working in a terrible environment

Axxess lies to customers and refuses to help

Axxess has the WORST support team ever, I have been literally begging for help from them and hundreds of emails and calls later they still refuse to help me.

I have been having an intermittent connection for almost a month now and they keep asking me for more and more proof of my issue and the more I send the more they ask.

At this point it feels like they are stalling and that I have sent screenshots of where my packet loss gets to 45% and they still say they need more proof.

DONT put yourself in this situation ,they wont help you and its the WOST Isp support I have ever seen and experienced!

They even lied to me and told me on a call my issue has been logged and 2 days later when I asked for an update another agent told me no they never reported the issue and that I still have to send more proof.

I still have not been helped as of today. Dont go for Axxess!
