Dear @TelkomZA @MTNza @Vodacom @rainSouthAfrica we're competing in @DreamLeague_ftg with gamers from other countries and your network is letting us down. We're losing matches we're not suppose to lose.

Hi @MTNza wifi router is slow in Sandton area. Reset the router and still difficulty. Are your Sandton towers not working? Or not serviced? Happens every other month.

You know where the danger is? Having your Wi-Fi and mobile network from the same service provider. Now the "network is down" and goa teka-teka on both ends. @MTNza bothata ke eng?

During a 48 hour power outage ONLY @TelkomZA & @OpenserveZA managed to keep communications up for Southern Drakensberg @Vodacom @MTNza @FNBSA @CellC you all FAILED AGAIN AS USUAL AND AS WAS TO BE EXPECTED. You should be ******* embarrassed. 👎🏻

At this point, I’m completely done with @MTNNG @MTNza — the network has been absolutely terrible since last week Wednesday. It’s like you shut down your data service completely. I literally have to stand by my door like a security guard, raising my hand just to catch a bar of

Please cancel the contract @MTNza. I left you router at your branch after your consultants were rude when I told them the router is not working. I cannot just pay without service.

The @MTNza app needs a security revamp. I’ve had a torrid weekend after my son was victim to OTP fraud. My phone is still not working because no one at MTN can seem to remove the SMS roaming that was set up on my number. The app also allows hackers to access old sessions.
