Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 59 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently complained about terrible service, prolonged internet outages, and a complete lack of urgency from support teams. Reviewers expressed intense frustration over endless technical problems that remained unresolved despite numerous calls and logged support tickets. However, some customers also noted unexpected billing charges, unfair contract penalties, and issues with receiving proper refunds. Consumers struggled to reach anyone on the phone because calls constantly went unanswered or automated systems abruptly disconnected them. People felt completely ignored as communication channels failed and support tickets were closed without providing any real solutions.

Pathetic service delivery from the supersonic team. No sense of urgency to their customers despite the number of calls or tickets pleading for urgent resolution. I was supplied a new ZTE router which... See more

Horrible Customer Service

I have been with Supersonic since the very beginning but I will not be making use of your services anymore . Horrible customer service! I can never get hold of them and when when I do they do not respond. The WORST ever!

Absolutely CRAP SERVICE.

Absolutely CRAP SERVICE.. Cannot get hold of technical support... Takes ages on the phone. Sends email to say ticket is closed , although they did nothing... Cannot connect to the 5g supersonic network. Paying for Fibre that I am not receiving.

Disappointed with supersonic fibre

They cut my network on the claims that three months ago l had an arrear. You try to reach them to give your proof of payments to show that you have never skipped payments but they are out of reach. The calls are never answered. All they want is money for the service they have not rendered. This is the most awful service provider ever.

This service is very bad.

This service is very bad.
I called 086 178 7377 for assistance with the wifi speed on the 17th of November 2024, so the lady who answered me let me do 3 speed test and then she logged a ticket SST 521 827 for me at technical SUPPORT. So I waited for them to call me back. Now it is the 20th November and they haven't given me any feedback so I called the number again 2 times and no one answered!

Pathetic service

Billed for 3 weeks of fibre, even though, I had not received the router. Have still not been reimbursed. Waited for 3 weeks for an upgrade with no response. Pathetic customer service and I cancelled and went back to Rain 5g (what a pleasure!). Now billed for R899 for cancelling within 12 months of the month to month contract which I have never received from supersonic!
They should be renamed Superpathetic!

They are crooks

They are crooks. From day 1 of processing the order it took over 2 weeks to receive the router. At the point of turning it on i would go on for days without connectivity, their customer service line never picks up, the whatsapp line goes unanswered. On a request for cancellation you are charged a cancellation fee plus an amount to collect their defective routers. which is either a ploy to keep clients hostage or just daylight robbery. Keep away from this scammer.

0% customer care

Never in my life I had this much trouble getting InTouch with a company... after reading everyone else's frustration i can now believe that tis company is a front for money laundering or something with forbidden substances... wonder if some has gone to their offices to see if there is actually a company...

DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY ANSWER CALLS?

Does Supersonic actually have anyone working in their technical department? No one ever answers no matter the time of day you call or however long you hold. This is one of the worst companies you can deal with. DON'T sign up with them. You will be in for nothing but a headache. They don't even deserve one star!

Supersonic service is really poor

Supersonic service is really poor. I have been without internet for more than 5 days (can you imagine working from home, i had to buy data every day just so i could log on and have meetings). I logged a ticket and keep calling on a daily basis, all they say is they are investigating. No one calls back, and when calling them i have to stay on the line holding for someone to answer the call, for more than 30min. This is really pathetic service. I thinking of cancelling their service.

I regret buying supersonic router i did…

I regret buying supersonic router i did everything online and no one got back to me , What they did is that they just gave me a router which is not registered. I've been trying to call them , sending them emails and WhatsApp but no one got back to me . They just deducted my money for nothing . I ran away from RAIN thinking that ill get a better thing but now I'm stuck with the router that was not even registered .
