Communication could be a bit faster, as response times were sometimes slow and updates were not always immediate. However, my order was eventually processed successfully and I am happy with the fibre... See more

Worst treatment Ive ever received from any company
I spent the whole of Friday trying to get any kind of basic assistance from them. I was passed from
One agent to the next. I waited from 8am to 11am to get someone to even chat with me. I had to explain I am transgender because they have old details of mine from more than 10 years ago. The agents made fun of me, ridiculed me, passed me to different agents until 5pm when they transferred me to Mweb inside of their own support channel. They made me very upset and behaved like sociopaths. They also deducted money from my account even after I tried the whole afternoon to cancel my order. I just moved so losing money is really tough right now.
Please cancel my order. I dont want to ever be abused like this again. Please can you cancel it? I have also reported what happened on ISPA. Im scared they will abuse me more and steal more money and they refuse to cancel my order.
Followed all instructions but have not yet received feedback or acknowledgement of my mail. At least they reply on here but it doesn't seem like they will reply anywhere else.

My wifes business has been brought to a stand still because you guys refuse to accept payment for our wifi. I have tried to use your online portal, it doesn't work i tried reaching out to your customer service team (you guys should teach them about average contact handling time and contact avoidance, based on their reply times they don't know what it means) i would just like to have my wifi turned on and i have no idea who to talk to because all of your agents have the same line "we are transfering you to the provisioning team"

I've been experiencing the worst customer service from you , guys little no help at all. To the point I was passed around to every agent. No payment links they supply u with works and when they " transfer" u no one come back or communicates. What's the use setting up a payment link that does absolutely nothing the website isn't even a help a all. This is affecting my life negatively especially that I work from home. Service sucks

Hi Sherlane, we can completely understand how frustrating and disruptive this has been, especially when it’s affecting your ability to work from home. Being passed between agents without a clear resolution is not the experience we want for you.
To complete payment, please go to pay.webafrica.co.za/vumatelreach, enter your registered phone number, verify with the OTP sent via SMS, and follow the prompts to pay by card. Once confirmed, the service should activate.
Warm regards,

My partner has been without wifi for 3 days. We have requested for a payment link to pay for the wifi daily with no answer. Every single agent you speak to says they are transferring you to the provisioning team. Our business has been ona. Standstill for 3 days and when you ask to speak to a supervisor to assist the agents ignore you

Hi Calvin, we can completely understand how disruptive this has been, especially with your business impacted and the delays in getting clear assistance. Being passed between teams without resolution is understandably frustrating.
We’ve run checks on the line at your Eastridge address and can see it is currently up and running. Please restart your router hardware and then try reconnecting.
Your feedback has been noted, and we’re working to improve how we handle escalations and communication, so you receive quicker, clearer support going forward.

Consultant called after I made Payment and installation was scheduled for Wednesday 01 July 2026. On Wednesday, an hour after we waited for them, consultant called to apologise that you won’t make it and we agreed to reschedule for Friday 03July. At noon on Friday, I called the same number trying to figure out where the issue is since no one called to apologise for not coming or reschedule, the phone rang unanswered. Today, Saturday morning someone else calls and say they are in the area and coming. Mind you, I wasn’t expecting anyone today as this arrangement was not communicated, 2 we had a family thing going on and now this inconvenience. They came and after they were done they just left, no information on whether we need to wait a moment for it to connect or the information will be sent to me once activated.. nothing!! Poor service

Hi Londeka, we can completely understand how frustrating and disruptive this experience must have been, especially with the missed appointments and lack of clear communication around your installation. That’s not the smooth onboarding journey we aim to deliver.
We can see our Activations team has assisted with your installation query, and a dedicated onboarding support call back has been arranged to guide you through the connection setup and next steps. This will ensure you have full clarity on your service and what to expect.
Your feedback is genuinely appreciated; it helps us improve how we communicate and deliver a more seamless experience going forward.

Well at first I was frustrated about the service because I tried to transfer my fibre connection to a new address. I spent more than 10minutes in on hold waiting in line for an operator to take ny call. 2 days before I've been chatting to robots trying to resolve my issue. My patience grew thinner by the day. After finally getting through to an operator, my issue was resolved within a couple of hours. They understood the task and delivered as promised. My frustration grew into pure relief and joy.
I will highly recommend this service provider to anyone out there. Mistakes were made but clearly rectified as soon as possible. Nobody is perfect and every business has it's good or bad days.
Gladly my bad day turned into an excellent day.
Great service.
Thank you kindly to the Team to responded to my needs.
Have a great day
Keith.

I am mortified by the customer service I receive from webafrica on a daily basis I wait hours for replies I’m never assisted and they always ended the chat I have screenshots of the past 4 days where I just wasn’t helped with all mi soul id like to switch to a different provider but I can’t because my complex doesn’t allow me too . Thokozani , usiphe kutlwano , Luyanda and Anele these are probably just fake names all ended the conversation without helping me and when I asked for a link to rate the service I was ignored I NEED A NEW PROVIDER IM FEDUP

Good day,
We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you. Waiting hours without proper assistance, and having chats end without resolution, is not the experience we want for you, especially when you rely on your connection daily.

Hi Lebogang,
Thank you for sharing your experience so openly. We can completely understand how frustrating and exhausting it must have been to wait from 08:20 to 16:00 without receiving the help you needed, especially after being passed between agents. That’s not the level of support we aim to provide, and we hear your concern around the experience you received.
We have arranged for our onboarding support team to get in touch with you to assist with your Vumatel connection setup as a priority. The focus will be on giving you clear, consistent guidance and getting everything up and running without any further delays.
Your feedback around the chat experience and consistency of support is important to us. It highlights where we need to improve to ensure every interaction feels seamless, informed, and supportive from start to finish.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’re here to turn this around for you.
Warm regards,
