Good day


Good day

Please can someone assist me with my wi-fi.

I have been struggling to get reconnected again.
Every time another story.
Every other time there is no one to assist me, because that person is on a tea break.

I have been struggling for more than a week...
I have paid my reconnected on 4/09/2026.

And ever since I have been waiting.
There is no installation nessasary, because I have everything.

I just need to activate the account.
Why is this happening?
Why is this taking so long?

I truly don't understand the problem.

And it is costing me money, ekstra money. Buying data from MTN to do my work!
No one is going to repay me for that!!!
No one is going to pay me back the money I have spend calling to follow up and asking for help.

And then there is a complaint email address to. Where I did leave my complaint. Just by receiving a mail back, saying they do not handle it from there..
Really!!!!

Please assist me. I am really not happy with this service.

Please contact me urgently.

Regards
Veronique

Can't get hold of Supersonic

Supersonic is meant to be a company that keeps you connected in order to be able to communicate. Yet, they do not answer Whatsapp, telephone, emails, internet tickets. I have been holding on for over 2 hours. Accounts does not send Statement advising if an account is arrears, they just cut you off with no forewarning. Then, once paid, to get reconnected is impossible as you can't contact them.

⚠️ Thinking of getting MTN Air Fibre

⚠️ Thinking of getting MTN Air Fibre? Do yourself a favour and check the Supersonic reviews first.

The contract is actually with Supersonic, not MTN. MTN is essentially the network provider behind it.

My experience? 9 days without service, with the response basically being: “There’s an outage, please be patient.”

Just do your homework before signing that contract. 👀
Because you will be let down at some point and not even MTN can help you

Pathetic service

Pathetic service. I've had their service for over a year now I'm moving home. Due to very bad circumstances. I've been trying to reach them from the 31 July till today no answer. When someone picked up they transferred me I tried to cancel online they want a one month notice and want me to pay for 1 extra month when I wont be at the property

Recurring Faults, No Accountability and Continued Billing

I would strongly advise anyone considering MTN/Supersonic Air Fibre to think twice before signing up.

My experience has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever encountered. For months, I dealt with recurring technical faults, slow internet speeds, incomplete installations, poor communication, and a complete lack of accountability. Despite logging numerous support tickets, the same problems continued to resurface, and many were never properly resolved.

The following tickets demonstrate the ongoing pattern of poor service:

SST1314450 – Slow speeds (28 May 2026)
SST1315798 – Installation not completed
SST1324019 – Previous tickets not resolved (8 June 2026)
SST1332596 – Connection issues (18 June 2026)
SST1339030 – P1 Air Fibre Line Release / MTN Request REQ000006787052 (25 June 2026)
SST1357180 – Cancellation request (17 July 2026)
SST1359918 – Please invoice cancellation fee only (21 July 2026)
SST1360120 – Cancellation fee and equipment collection (21 July 2026)
SST1364833 – Slow speeds again (27 July 2026)
SST1372337 – No feedback from the technical team (4 August 2026)

What makes this experience even more unacceptable is that, despite formally disputing charges on my account, MTN/Supersonic has continued to deduct funds. Instead of investigating and resolving the dispute before processing further debits, money has continued to be taken from my account. This is not only extremely frustrating but demonstrates a complete disregard for fair customer treatment and proper dispute resolution.

I have spent countless hours following up, repeating the same information to different consultants, waiting for updates that never arrived, and chasing a technical team that simply does not communicate. There appears to be little to no coordination between departments, leaving customers to do the work that the company should be doing.

Even cancelling the service became an exhausting process, requiring multiple tickets just to address cancellation fees and equipment collection. No customer should have to fight this hard to receive the service they are paying for—or to stop paying for a service that consistently fails to meet basic expectations.

Reliable internet is an essential service. MTN/Supersonic failed to provide a stable connection, failed to resolve recurring faults within a reasonable timeframe, failed to communicate effectively, and has continued to deduct disputed funds while my complaints remain unresolved.

The volume of unresolved tickets, the repeated failures, the lack of accountability, and the ongoing billing issues paint a clear picture of a company that has failed to put its customers first.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend MTN/Supersonic to anyone. I hope this review serves as a warning to prospective customers and encourages MTN/Supersonic to seriously improve its technical support, customer service, and billing practices.

I have been with Supersonic for six…

I have been with Supersonic for six years. They were great in the beginning but customer service went down fast and despite this, I stayed loyal until my internet got patchy and after six months of double billing due to an accounting error and bad internet, I changed. To date no refund for the additional money I was charged and I have been charged an additional month's subscription because their client portal doesn't register cancellations and I can't prove that I canceled my subscription :(

ABSOLUTE NEGLIGENCE: Router sparked, fire hazard completely ignored by staff!


I have been struggling with a failing Supersonic Wi-Fi connection for a month, which was clearly the hardware slowly dying. This morning, the router completely short-circuited and threw sparks in my house—a severe electrical fire hazard.When I contacted their WhatsApp support to report this life-threatening safety issue, the agent completely ignored the hazard, refused to give me an escalation reference number, and literally typed "Thank you for contacting supersonic enjoy your day" before closing the chat.I have spent all of my airtime over the past month trying to call them about their broken service and now have no way to reach them. They are leaving a customer stranded with dangerous, burnt hardware. Absolute disgrace and zero regard for human safety.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. Called several times and sent multiple messages to complain about the Wi-Fi not working and nobody came back to for multiple days. I’m very disappointed .
