It is next to impossible to get ahold of anyone furthermore I have attempted to cancel my service via the app, WhatsApp and phone call on multiple occasions, it keeps saying that my service is cancelled but then I get hit with an outstanding bill, do not waste your time or money with these guys, it’s easy to sign up but impossible to cancel

Hello Brandon

We understand how frustrating this experience has been—especially when you’ve made multiple attempts to cancel through different channels, only to still receive billing notifications. That back-and-forth, combined with the difficulty in reaching support, can be incredibly discouraging.

From our side, we can see that our Billing Support team has engaged with your account and clarified that there are outstanding amounts for April, June, and July, along with a termination fee, and that April’s balance needs to be settled to resolve the billing discrepancy.

That said, your concern about the cancellation process and conflicting messages on your service status is completely valid. This is not the seamless experience we aim to provide. To assist, we have arranged for our Collection team to review your account and call you to discuss the account status and the next steps ASAP.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Morning Ashley

We understand how frustrating it must have been trying to get assistance while your connection was down, especially after being transferred multiple times and not getting a clear resolution.

We can see that our support team did connect with you on Saturday and assisted with troubleshooting—confirming your line was active, guiding a router restart, and verifying with your household that the connection and speeds were restored. They also clarified the upgrade payment query and advised that no further payment was needed.

Warm regards,

I warn customers to carefully think about using WebAfrica. All they care about is Sales. Dont waste time in calling the 021 no nor the what's app no. We have tried for _ days to SPEAK to someone; ive made a record of dates and times. You get put through to robots and your query does not fall in any of the 3 listed categories. Tried all 3. You get asked if we want "human" help; type in YES. You then get routed to the 3 categories again and again and again. Pls dont waste time with WebAfrica; go via Vodacom, Telkom etc for wifi services. At least they are reputable and you get to speak to people.

Lack of service

We have a logged a call with your call centre to have our line connected due to branch that fell on line and snapped it off completely. Were told they will send out team to have line reconnected within 72 hrs and then when deadline past they closed case and said there is nothing wrong with line and its connected. This is not even a software issue where it can be disputed as this line is literally hanging so what how they concluded that its fixed maybe you can share.

Hello Alvin

We hear how frustrating this must be, especially with a visible line break and conflicting updates on the case.

We can confirm that this should not have been closed while the line is still physically disconnected. We want to get this properly investigated and resolved without further delays. Please email customer-reviews@webafrica.com with your review details, a screenshot or link to this post, and your registered email address so we can securely access your account and re-engage our network partners with the correct context.

We will ensure the fault is reassessed as a physical line issue and that the necessary team is dispatched. Once we have your details, we will take ownership of the follow-up and keep things moving toward a clear resolution.

Warm regards,

Hi Shanni,

Thank you for your follow-up. We understand how frustrating it must be to still be seeking a resolution to your billing concerns, especially after previously reaching out for assistance and waiting for feedback.

We've reviewed the account and can see that you were sent feedback by email confirming that the June subscription will be credited to the account. We can also confirm that the credit has been successfully applied.
Based on the account review, the remaining balance relates to the R999 cancellation fee together with the May subscription. As the cancellation request was submitted during April, the required one calendar month's notice applied, which meant that the service remained active during May. This is why the May subscription charge remains payable and why you're seeing the debit order attempt for R1518.00.
We recognise that this outcome may not be the one you were hoping for, however we'd like to assure you that your concerns have been reviewed.

Your feedback regarding your experience will also be shared with our Service Quality Team for review and improvement.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

I got everything fast on time

I got everything fast on time, they registered me yesterday, and today the installation team came to install, after 2 to 3 hours I received an sms for activation and the password.

Am so happy for Webafrica they are really trust worthy. Even the agent Lady didn't want the upfront payment.

Hi Raquel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it must have been for your upgrade journey not to progress as smoothly as expected, particularly when you were trying to arrange an upgrade and were left without connectivity for two full days. We can appreciate the impact this had on your household and daily activities.

While we're pleased that you were eventually assisted, we recognise that the overall experience fell short of the standard of service we aim to provide. Clear communication, accurate information, and a smooth upgrade process are all important parts of the customer experience, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.

Please be assured that we take feedback like this seriously. Your comments regarding the upgrade process, communication, and payment arrangements will be shared with our Service Quality Team for review to better understand what went wrong and identify opportunities to improve the experience going forward.

We're committed to delivering a service that meets our customers' expectations and to continuously improving the support and experience we provide.

After the installation of the WiFi

After the installation of the WiFi, the installers left without finishing everything and said there's still a problem outside, they then left without the service running , however on another day,the service did start running but the installation setup is not complete, fibre wires are still exposed to rain and the weather ,also these cables are a threat to visitors and children that may visit. yesterday we did not have WiFi all day because of this setup. Can we please get an installer to come fix this problem , thank you.

Hello Mathapelo

It’s clear how stressful this has been, especially with your children needing a stable connection for schoolwork. Not being able to get online after making payment, along with login details not working, is incredibly disruptive.

Our Support team connected with you via chat earlier today and worked on your line remotely. As part of the troubleshooting, we asked you to restart your devices to restore the connection. If you haven’t already, please try restarting your router and devices again and test the connection.

If the issue is still not resolved, please reach out to us via WhatsApp so we can assist you ASAP. There is a possibility of a line fault, in which case we will work with our Vumatel partners to restore your service as quickly as possible.

We are committed to getting this resolved so your household can get back online without further disruption.

Hi Jeanette,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we're truly sorry to hear about your experience.

We also appreciate your concern about being billed while you're still waiting for support.

To help us investigate this matter thoroughly, please email us at customerreviews@webafrica.co.za with your account details and a brief summary of what you've experienced. Our Customer Reviews team will review your case and work with the relevant team to assist you further.
