PATHETIC

I only give 1 star because I cannot give 0 stars.
They are absolutely horrible. The service is shockingly awful! Pathetic! I am waiting on their “easy peasy” support system on the app for half an hour every time they transfer me. Last time I waited a full hour before just giving up. I wanted a simple upgrade!! That’s it. All the people assisting (if you can call it that) were incompetent. I have been transferred sooo many times just for a simple upgrade. It’s ridiculous honestly!

PATHETIC!

Hi Marisa,

Trying to get a simple upgrade done while being transferred repeatedly and left waiting for extended periods can be extremely frustrating, especially when it turns something straightforward into a prolonged and exhausting experience.

This is not the level of service we want you to have when reaching out for assistance, and it’s clear that the process has fallen far short of expectations.

Your query has been escalated to the team handling orders, with a request for urgent follow-up and for detailed feedback to be provided to you via email.

Your experience has also been shared with our Service Quality Team to review the support process and improve how upgrades and customer interactions are handled going forward.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Worst ISP in existence.

Worst ISP in existence.
Complete lack of understanding that their online portals are insufferably frustrating...waiting for extended lengths of time for responses, days of holding on WhatsApp, continuously being transferred to another agent, the whole experience was torture and probably by design to make sure you can't cancel your subscription - which is inevitable as a result of their appalling service.

Hi there, we can hear just how frustrating and exhausting this experience has been for you. Long wait times, repeated transfers, and struggling to get a clear resolution, especially when trying to cancel, is not the experience we want anyone to have.

To make sure this is handled properly and without any further back and forth, please email us at customer-reviews@webafrica.com with the following details:
• A copy or screenshot of your review
• A link to where it was posted (if applicable)
• Your registered Webafrica email address

Once we’ve received this, our team will verify your information and take ownership of your case, ensuring the right team assists you with your cancellation and any outstanding concerns. You can expect feedback within 24 hours.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’re committed to turning this around by getting you the resolution you’ve been trying to reach.

Warm regards,

Hi Errin,

We understand how frustrating it can be to see billing that doesn’t seem to match what you initially signed up for, especially when it relates to a promotional offer.

Upon reviewing your account, we can confirm that your 2-month promotion was applied from 8 May to 8 July, and you did receive the discounted rate during this period. For transparency, here’s how the billing was structured:

Invoice IAB2474042 – May subscription billed at the promotional rate
Invoice IAB2693653 – June subscription billed at the promotional rate
Invoice IAB2929202 – Includes the prorated promotional amount from 1–7 July, and the standard subscription rate applied from 8–31 July after the promotion ended

This is why the July invoice reflects a higher total, as it includes both the tail end of the promotion and the start of billing at the full package price.

Your feedback has been shared with our Service Quality Team to improve how promotional terms and billing transitions are communicated, ensuring clearer expectations for our clients.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Hey there, we’re really sorry to hear how this has impacted you, especially with being without a connection for several days. We understand how serious this is, and that it’s affecting more than just your service. That’s not the experience we want for you.

Please reach out to us via WhatsApp, so our support team can assist you directly and prioritise getting your connection restored as quickly as possible.

I was a customer of WebAfrica for just about two years.I was very happy with their service then someone try to upgrade my account to a Premium service.After the upgrade everything went wrong no service at all they want me to pay every month for no service. Cancelled the contract but now I try for a refund on the months for no service but they demand I must pay the cancellation fee of R 999.00 before they can refund me for no service. The worst internet supplier of all times . Stay away .

Hi Philippus, we understand how frustrating and unfair this must feel, especially after experiencing service issues following your upgrade and now trying to resolve billing and refund concerns. That’s not the experience we want for you.

We can see that our support team assisted you earlier this month regarding your cancellation, including explaining the termination and clawback fees linked to the agreement. These fees are part of the service terms, which you can review here:

Firstly the billing is way over the amount you agreed on. Secondly their customer service it’s so bad. You trying chatting with them in whatsapp you will wait for over 3 hours. I’m disconnected as Webafrica is claiming I’m owing R1098 which is June and July but June was paid. If you thinking about ewebafrica please don’t you’ll be frustrated

Hi Qaqamba, we can understand how frustrating this must be, especially when there’s confusion around billing and your service has been suspended while you believe payments have already been made. That’s not the experience we want for you.

We’ve arranged for our Collections team, who handle service suspensions, to investigate your account in detail. They will review the June and July billing, verify the payment received, and assist you directly with a clear way forward to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

We also hear your concerns about the long WhatsApp wait times and overall support experience. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams, as improving response times and communication is a key focus for us.
