Upgrading, downgrading or cancelling your service
Your needs change. Households grow, businesses expand, people move overseas. This guide covers how to change your package or end your service, and what to expect in each case.
Upgrading to a faster package
Upgrades are the easiest change to make and usually the quickest.
- Usually no new installation is needed. In most cases we change your profile remotely and the new speed applies within 24 hours.
- Contact us to request it — by phone, through the contact form or via the client portal.
- Billing is adjusted pro-rata, so you pay only for the days at each rate.
- Restart your router once we confirm the change has been applied.
- Some upgrades need a site visit — for instance moving from fixed wireless to fibre, or to an enterprise dedicated service. We’ll tell you upfront if so.
Run a speed test on a cabled device during your busiest evening. If you’re consistently reaching the limit of your package while people are complaining, an upgrade will help. If the line is delivering full speed and things still feel slow, the problem is more likely Wi-Fi — and an upgrade won’t fix that.
Moving to a smaller package
- Downgrades normally take effect from your next billing cycle.
- Contact us with at least a few days’ notice before your billing date.
- Minimum-term conditions may apply if you’re within a contract period — we’ll explain any implications before making the change.
- If cost is the issue, talk to us. A smaller package is far better than a suspension, and we’d rather find something workable.
Cancelling your service
We’re sorry to see anyone go, but if you need to cancel, here’s how it works.
- Give notice in writing. The request must come from the registered account holder. Email or the contact form is fine.
- Observe the notice period. Your service agreement states the required notice. Give it in full to avoid additional charges.
- We confirm the details. We’ll write back confirming the cancellation date, any final balance and arrangements for equipment.
- Settle any outstanding balance. Including charges up to the cancellation date.
- Arrange equipment return or collection. See below.
- Receive final confirmation. We’ll confirm in writing once the account is closed. Keep this.
If you’re leaving because of a problem — speed, reliability, cost or service — please tell us before cancelling. Quite often it’s something we can fix, and we’d rather fix it than lose you. If you’re moving, see moving home — you may be able to take the service with you.
Returning your equipment
Some equipment remains the property of Flexi Networks and must be returned when service ends.
- Typically ours: the ONT, any outdoor wireless radio and mounting hardware, and any router supplied on a rental or subsidised basis.
- Typically yours: equipment you purchased outright, and your own cables and accessories.
- Don’t remove anything yourself. Outdoor equipment and the ONT are professionally mounted — our technician handles removal. Damage from self-removal may be charged for.
- The fibre stays with the property. Don’t cut, pull or coil it — the next occupant may use it.
- Return equipment in good order. Missing or damaged equipment may attract a replacement charge as set out in your agreement.
We’ll confirm exactly what needs to be returned and arrange collection or a drop-off at our Ezulwini office.
Contract terms
Whether a minimum term applies depends on your package and any installation or equipment subsidy included when you signed up. All terms are set out in your service agreement, and our Terms & Conditions cover the general provisions.
If you’re unsure what applies to your account, contact us and we’ll tell you plainly — including any early-termination implications — before you commit to anything.
