reviews and complaints

Worst app ever. This business is a scam, you subscribe to their service and they treat you like [censored]. No customer's service, can't pick up the phone and get help. They say we have a Whatsapp and agents but they all are useless. The Facebook administrator is a racist and discriminates against you when you try to post on Facebook. Fire that Facebook admin idiot. Don't use webafrica. Try anyone else you will be better off

I'm so disappointed I'm trying to make payment since Thursday! I work from home so funds go into FNB account then I transferred to my Capitec or I do a deposit at my bank.The transaction is saying pay R5 everytime I try to pay I called every number to webafrica no help so unfortunately I get unfriendly staff ,no Assistance what's so ever I can't work without WiFi 😭 I will change my WiFi once I get my quotes no problem but dealing with a robot on what'sapp who can't help me is terrible! I don't know who is going to refund me all my R5 I was charged the amount is saying R0.00 I need billing to change it R399 Is that so hard? I'm so upset I called and spoke to Mandisa and Craige they work from home who can't help me but they work for webafrica imagine ! It's so disappointing .

My husband contacted this joke of a company and they asked for his account details which he gave (not debit order forms or contract was signed) they told him x2 to x3 different amounts that he had to pay and he said he would not accept or sign any contracts and they have now taken money from his account with no acceptance of anything nor any service being provided. They even called to tell him they would get a manager to call which never happened and then when he said he doesnt want to talk to them an operator apologized but said a manager woukd still call and try get him to pay. These people are crooks.

I'm absolutely disgusted in Web Africa this morning I woke up to no internet I whatsapp someone who took half an hour respond and when I ask her why they taking so long this person told me they busy with other chats and I'm not the only one they assist how utterly rude to speak to me a customer since 2019 I'm appalled

Then when I finally spoke to another consultant I'm told I must wait 24 to 72 hours for a technician to came back to me in all the while I'm sitting without internet my two toddlers are at their wits end bored and now I'm getting frustrated at them

I'm seriously done with webafrica this is not the first time this incident occurs I pay full money every month but then there days when I don't have internet is this fair

I'm.moving on to Mweb I'm done really done with you

Good day

I sent a whatsapp request to change a debit account from fnb to standard bank on 22 February 2024.

An agent called Zolani S assisted with lining a new debit card on the system, today 01 March 2024, an amount of R399,00 was debited from the same fnb account which was supposed to be deactivated.

I was on a back and forth chat with Refilwe from 11:19 to 13:35, a very unproductive chat with a clueless agent who kept on asking me tedious questions on things that are on her system instead of resolving my query.

Can someone with more insight advice on why fnb account was debited instead of standard bank.

Refilled refused to provide me with the complaints email address hence I am using this platform, with her attitude and no empathy for clients I am shopping around for a more professional, efficient service provider

WebAfrica should be held to task at the National Consumer Commission (NCC) as there is no ability to complain about their service, product or business.

WebAfrica ignores all HelloPeter complaints, ignores all complaints shared to complaints@webafrica.co.za and there is no ability to contact them directly.

The WhatsApp and Live Chat is ineffective, you are blocked from being able to escalate matters and you are effectively stuck without any resolution to issues.

Issues with WebAfrica have reached more than a month with no result. Poor line quality, poor service and zero accountability or response from WebAfrica.

If I could give webafrica a number lower than 1 I would. They incorrectly accepted my fibre order. I paid and they delivered a router. After 2 months of following up for the installation of my fibre order they informed me that they do not install fibre in my area. Why did they then accept my order? None the less I returned the router with their courier and after a year of doing this they are still threatening me with a R999 bill for not retiring their router. But how? I sent them the waybill slip and number but they continuously threaten me because they cant find the router. And to top it all off they never returned my R250 fee I paid at the beginning as promised by webafrica. Their agents doesnt listen,you have to repeat the same story a million times. The worst fibre company on earth.

It took 10 days for your team to respond to an issue with an IP address, after changes you made nationally.

Then we had to re-ask for a static IP address, and although none of the settings on our router have been changed, and new IP address inserted, security cameras still not working. It is not an issue with our cameras but an issue on your side.

So for two weeks my security has been compromised, last night the neighbour had an intruder so obviously I am anxious to sort out my cameras. i believe your company often changes servers and i am not prepared to go through this trouble again.

i was given these details :

username :ald430#wafibre

password:g1mh59bv5V

IP 41.132.66.126

I now which to cancel my contract and appoint another service provider.

I moved homes and cancelled my Webafrica service via Vuma and took out another service at my new home with Openserve.

After moving in, I waited a long time for activation and installation of fibre service. I cancelled my service on 2 August 2023 with consultant Lauren Lee Zincke, and their unopened router was collected on 3 August 2023.

I took out another service from Afrihost and was active within 2 days. On 8 August, Webafrica debited my account for more than R400. I reversed the debit and flagged the debit as fraud with Absa.

I have been struggling daily with them trying to sort this out, they are sending me invoices for non payment and will ultimately influence my credit score. this when I never had any service with them at my new house.

I keep getting transferred from retentions to billings and back. Today has been 6 times. It is like they are trying to frustrate me purposefully. I need an intervention please.

[08/02, 11:04] Webafrica: *Nomthandazo*: Hi there, my name is Nomthandazo, how can I assist you today?

[08/02, 11:04] Gadija: I would like to know why you guys have debited my bank account for the passed two days for the amount pf R249 when i have never given you my banking details?

[08/02, 11:12] Webafrica: *Nomthandazo B.*: What have you been using to make payment all along ?

[08/02, 11:13] Gadija: My husband's bank account which you debited yesterday as well for my installment

Webafrica is truly a web of deception and lies. We have had no service since Thursday 27 July 2023. We logged a complaint early in the morning about 7h45. Some idiot consultant came on and told me I need to reconfigure the router. I didn't know. He/she was unable to guide me through the steps so I asked for another consultant. She told me that it is offline a logged it to technical. The what's app group is disgusting repeating yourself. When you want to cancel, then they put you through to a chick Aaisha Abdul who convincess you to stay and assures that they are working on it. Upon our frustration we started looking into other service providers and discovered we are actually paying so much more for less. Despite our discovery we decided to take the sweetly put offer of an openserve option and a months credit. I stressed that I cannot be without wifi for so long as I work remotely and I assured the company I had a good secure service provider. I cannot afford to lose my remote work. I think we have spoken to every Tom, Dick and Harry in that company all say it's been escalated all to find out it can only be escalated on the 3rd day. So they are in the habit of not telling the truth. Aaisha even gave us her email and guess what we get in response. THIS IS AN UN USED MAILBOX AND NO LONGER IN USE. SO the deception continues. We have a a screenshot to prove it. It has been 5 days no calls from vodacom. No where near sorted and I am unable to provide my services remotely. I am now at risk of losing the little I get to feed my family. To top it all they still want to hold you liable for 30 day notice and not release the line early. But wait they will take their payment tomorrow and idiot sitting without a service I pay for in advance. I want them to release my line so that I can at least get another service provider so I can at least make a little living for my family.

Just to be fair I didn't want to give web africa any star because you have to earn stars by rendering a service of high standard and improving on it it increases. We logged the call on saturday 15th july after chatting on whatsapp answering the same questions over and over finally we received the ref #146487 and from saturday nobody came out and checked only to find out they closed the call on wednesday 19/07/2023 without resolving it we got a second ref#147484 with no help and nobody responding. We have been without internet for 4 days and we need to run the business from home where the internet is our primary source. Web africa has no contact number no emails and no response to resolve this issue. Charlotte [protected]

I signed up with webafrica in June 2021.

I since learned that i could get faster coverage from a local provider at almost half the cost.

The Only way one can talk to webafrica is by there chat page. To reach the cancellation operator one needs to go through at least two other operators, starting each conversation over and answering the same questions. With each question it takes them at least 5min to respond.

The issue I have is their fraudulent way of bullying you to stay with them.

I firstly were threatened with the R999 cancelation policy they got in place in 2023 to stop their clients from leaving. I were asked to accept the following.

" Aaisha A.: PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR SERVICE:

YOUR FREE-TO-USE ROUTER

When you signed up for your service you were given a free-to-use router. Please note that within 20 days after your service is cancelled you will be required to return the router. If you do not, you will be billed R999.00 for the router.

I, DJ Schneider, agree that I have chosen to cancel my service on 2023-06-26, and that I agree to return my router within 20 days of my cancellation, or if failing to do so will pay the R999. I also agree to pay any outstanding setup fees R0. I also accept that my line will not be released (in the case of moving to another ISP), until my Webafrica bill is fully paid up." Aaisha A.: Please advise if you agree to the above?"

No, The above is all untrue! I can not accept that, she were fraudulently trying to con me into paying R999 and returning a router at my cost after more than 2 years with them. Nowhere were that written in there policy before 2023, only a 30day cancellation policy!

I am still trying to get my cancellation confirmation, this service provider is fraudulent and should be held accountable for their of operations!

I gave them adequate (23rd of May) notice before relocating from Capetown to Joburg. The first person I communicated with on WhatsApp advised me that someone from Webafrica needed to come install the line and retrieve my router. When I followed up a few days (25th of May) later the next agent told me that I need to take my router with me and that it doesn't need to be uninstalled. Once I got to Joburg (1st of June) I followed up once again, the agent then told me that I am liable to pay for June and that the new tenant can use my line since I didn't give them enough notice of my relocation (UHM WHY WOULD I PAY FOR A LINE THAT I CAN'T MAKE USE OF?). I then followed up with my new address installation which I followed up with about 5 times. They only installed at the new address on the 12th of June. By this time they have suspended the line in Capetown but now want me to pay for the line plus excess and still pay prorata for the new address. Honestly disgusting customer service from this company. I will NEVER RECOMMEND WEBAFRICA to anyone. Terrible
