Terrible service

Despite me begging them to stop sending me irrelevant emails about services that were cancelled years ago, they continue to do so... at a spam level. They assured me that my email address had been removed from their database, however it just continues. I've given up with them. Terrible service!

WORST COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA!

WORST COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA.
I have never dealt with a company this frustrating and useless as 1-Grid. My website has been down for months. Ive been trying to get my emails working again after they did some update for the past 2 weeks.

i have logged numerous tickets, tried their live chat, tried calling them and sent emails but still cant get ANYONE to contact me.
