Herotel Truecom
Based on recent customer reviews, Herotel Truecom is facing significant dissatisfaction across multiple branches and service areas. Customers consistently mention prolonged internet outages, inconsistent connection speeds that fall short of paid packages, and difficulty reaching support through phone or WhatsApp channels. A recurring theme is unresolved technical tickets, missed installation and relocation appointments, and billing or account confusion. Reviewers frequently express frustration with unhelpful call centre interactions, automated responses, and a perceived lack of accountability from technicians and management. The field technicians occasionally receive isolated acknowledgement, but overall sentiment skews heavily negative.

Worst ****en experience with Herotel lately in Ladismith, Western Cape. I've been without internet for more then 2 weeks now. I keep on calling them mind you with my airtime because everytime they said they will call me back but that never happens. Im still waiting for them to come out and restore my internet connection. So they expect me to pay for a full month where for more then half the month i didnt even have internet connection.

I app**** for home wifi to be installed, I made the application on the 9th, a confirmation was made that they will come on 16th, they did not come, called them they said I must give them an hour they are finishing up somewhere, that was around 10 am, only around 15H30 when I call again to ask where they are, I was told they will come today as it is Sunday, no pitch still when I call them their lines are off, this has inconvenienced me because am supposed to be working and I did explain that when I went to apply and I was told it would be done within an hour but am here with no internet coverage and no response what so ever from them.

This service has become incredibly frustrating. We signed up and pay for a 50 Meg line, but performance is nowhere close to what we should be receiving. The internet disconnects around 3 times every hour and it has become impossible to work productively. Complaints and tickets are logged repeatedly with no meaningful feedback. Even more concerning is the condition of the infrastructure. Fibre lines are lying exposed and damaged for days and weeks with no sign of repair teams. Clients are paying customers and should not have to beg for stable internet service.

It brings me great discomfort by not being able to rate this circus of a company zero. Honestly save yourself the worst customer service and most useless accounts department (their accountants have lucky packet degrees from a claw machine) you will ever experience in your life. You get what you pay for in the market and this is really cheap **** to put it bluntly. If Jerry Springer was an ISP it would be villaintel.

First the receptionest has an attitude, if there is 3 or more customers she gets frustrated and her customer service is poor. Not a great way to be greated and serviced. Secondly the worker Erik he has no filter to his mouth,installs something and its not correct to get them out again. He supplies you with a quote and then when you follow up with the receptiones the quote does not corrospond as if he wants to charge more to receive something out and you dont get a slip for purchase, their excuse is it has someones account number on.
