MWEB.co.za - Worst experience of my life
Trying to change my companies existing mweb fibre line into a personal fibre line has been the most frustrating, stressful and expensive experience of my life! They had no problem cancelling my company account and had no problem taking my money for the new account but I've been sitting without Internet for 16 days. There staff are either not trained...
Read full review of MWEB.co.za and 1 commentExtremely Disappointing Service Experience with Mweb
Dear Reader, I feel compelled to share my recent experience with Mweb, and it pains me to say that it has been nothing short of a nightmare. The level of service provided by Mweb has left me extremely disappointed and frustrated. From unresponsive customer support to unresolved technical issues, my journey with Mweb has been filled with inefficiencies and lack of accountability. It's disheartening to see such a renowned company fall short in delivering basic customer service. I urge you to tread carefully if considering Mweb for your internet needs, as my experience has been far from satisfactory.
Sitting without wi-fi and internet access for 5 days - no response from mweb
Am downgrading my package with MWeb, when i try to phone, its the annoying recording "our phones are ringing off the hook" how many agents are there to assist? Wait for hours only to be told we will transfer you, then again its listening to the recording where there is no one to assist at all so just end up hanging up, frustrated and annoyed, I logged a query on the mobile app which I had to download via mobile data just so that i can possibly track the order, no response from anyone at MWeb
Recommendation: Think twice before using MWeb, there are many more ISP's
Hey, it sounds really frustrating trying to get through to MWeb. Since calls and the mobile app haven't worked, you might try reaching out via their social media platforms, like Twitter or Facebook, if they have them. Companies often respond quicker there to avoid public visibility of the issue. Additionally, look for an email address for customer support on their website; it might be another way to get a documented trail of your downgrade request. Keep all correspondence in case you need to escalate your request.

down grading not done
I've applied to upgrade my fibre, but before that was done I received a mail to inform me that I need to make sure that my router will be sufficient for the upgrade. When I phoned the tech support guy said it is not sufficient, hence I ask to be down graded to my original plan. When I checked my billing it was still not done. I did phone again to have it down graded. Still nothing, then I chat on the app and the lady said it has been uploaded, it will take 72 hours, that is now days ago. I have been phoning a few times but without any luck getting to the correct person
Desired outcome: To be down graded to my original plan

Fibre service
I signed up on June 26th, made my payment on July 4th,and to date, I still can't use my fibre service. We already had an existing fibre line and router, so no technicians were needed. Yet, after numerous calls and complaints, we still the "no internet connection" error. This is highly frustrating. I work from home, and I've had to leave the comfort of my own home because I can't use the fibre service I've paid for.
Agents keep telling me my service is active, while I have an activation request pending for over 5 days.
Claimed loss: R399

Billing
I am very frustrated, after calling in on the 23 April 2024, notified you as Mweb that I am being over debited, as Last month in March I was over debited with R1885 taken from my account, this after we downgraded in February to a package of R369, the agent I spoke with than explained that it was an error on Mweb side and would be reversed, today 26 April 2024 I am debited a whole R3023,03, yet the matter can not be resolved
Claimed loss: I am now in a minus where I still need to pay on my other debits one being for my car
Desired outcome: The debit needs to be refunded, and I would like to terminate all services with Mweb

Increased monthly fees without notification in December 2023 and again May 2024, unacceptable
I took the Mweb Black Friday promotion in November [protected]@ 689 per month and first month free,but connection commenced 10 January 2022, as per below email.
Subscription increased, without notification to R739,00 in December 2023 incorrectly since Mweb delayed installation and 6 months later, in may 2024 to R789,00.
Nb: due to delayed installation,my annual fee increase, changes by a month.
Please be advised that I’m currently unemployed, This increase is unacceptable.
I’m currently reviewing competitor uncapped wifi prices, noticed Mweb current promotion is between R299 / R 599 per month . Why am I being unreasonable invoiced R789.00.This is daylight robbery, disappointing service
Should I not hear from you within 24hours I will be escalating complaint and considering, other WIFI options.
I kindly request a call back from mweb manager,please.
I look forward to a favourable, urgently reply.
Many thanks
Desired outcome: Your currently monthly WI-FI promotional R to R599 monthly

Fibre speed
My problem started around the 6th of June 2023. Contacted tech support so many times and they still could not get the problem resolved. I have a 200mbps/200mbps fibre line and I am not even getting close to 100mbps/100mbps but still paying the full amount monthly for a 200mbps/200mbps fibre line. I need to get refunded for all the months I have been battling regarding this issue. Please can Mweb contact me asap.
Claimed loss: I need to get refunded for all the months I have been battling regarding this issue that tech support could still not get sorted out.

Fibre
I signed up for Fibre on 23 Feb. I explicitly told the sales person I don't want to pay more than R500 per month. I was told I would pay R475 in Feb, R475 in March. That was because they had a promotion. After March I would pay normal rates. Today they are billing me for March and April together. A whopping R1000 which was never mentioned in the telephone discussion.
Desired outcome: I agree with March billing R475. But I do not agree that i need to pay for April at the same time as March. That was never mentioned.

I signed up for their fibre on 23 Feb. I agreed to pay R470 for the first 2 months Feb and March. I got a pro rata for Feb and paid R110. Now they want me to pay for 2 invoices in one month (March R470 and April 570) a wopping R1040 which I did not agree to.
Mweb fibre
Please cancel my subscription with mweb, the service is totaly non existing, the fake numbers you have for you service is the tops, and your app is set so no one can contact or you, i do think this is just a money pit for you and not a customer service, the local company in Delmas have a better service and is available 24/7 for any technical assistance

Fiber Internet
Hi there,
I am extremely unhappy about the poor quality fiber internet provided to me.
Constantly having connectivity issues and no one attending to it.
I am paying for a fiber connection but the quality is so bad even below the lowest ADSL connection I had previously.
That is absolutely unacceptable. My neighbor has also Vumatel fiber (not via MWEB) and his internet is perfect.
What am I paying for?

Fibre product
I called mwebs customer care on the 10/01/2024 to downgrade my package of R529 to R399. The consultant advised me to do so closer to the debit date. I did so I think it was on the 24/01/2024. The person assured me it's done and on the 26th the amount of R399 will be debited from my account. The morning of the 26th I woke up to see they tried to debit an...

I cant get through to an agent, online complaints, emails - I NEED OTP
I am trying to pay my monthly subscription. I do not know why, but the OTP is not coming through. My cell number is correct on your system, but the OTP is not coming through. I cannot continue my transaction with the OTP. I have been trying for more than hour to either speak to an agent, logging on the system or emailing, but all with no success. When I finally think Im getting through to an agent I get a message that says "due to unforeseen circumstances, we cannot take your call, please try again later". This message has been going on for more than hour. What is happening. All I want to do is pay my account. Why is it always so difficult to get assistance from MWEB. Nothing seems to be working, not the website, email or telephone enquiries. I would like this matter to be resolved as soon as possible.
Desired outcome: I want my problem to be solved. Please contact me urgently on [protected].

My router needs to be repositioned from my lounge to my office in my home
My Router was repositioned from my officce upstairs, which was working perfectly, to in my lounge, downstairs in our double story home.
Unfortunately, the router was positioned in my main lounge, and needed to be installed in my office.
We are having intermittent communication on wifi, and I cannot get an order to be placed by MWEB to Metrofibre to do this.
I run two international businesses and 2 bnbs off this communication system, and it is not working as it should, nor is it in the right place.
Can someone reposition this URGENTLY?
There is no option for repositioning online, as we are in the same building, same address, but the online option will not accept this.
I have spent the best part of 2 days (no jokes) on emails and mobile phoene
for some response.
PLEASE HELP
Desired outcome: reposition my router to my office
