Reviews and Complaints

My account (Account number: [protected]) is active since 12 April 2021, since that time I only manage to connect to the internet a couple of times, the router is on and my network/computer sees it, but when connecting it shows no internet available.
The fact that I am paying for a service and not getting what I am supposed to get is very annoying. Please do not send me a message with instructions on how to do the setup, send somebody to come and fix the system.
If I do not receive proper feedback and assistance you must come and remove the installation as this is unacceptable, and I am not prepared to pay for sub-standard service.
I need the system up and running ASAP to be able to do my work.

Have to pester them to get installation done.
Installation damage costed me more than installation cost.
Poor service - no one knows anything about anything - you get pushed from one department to the next
Then you get told MAYBE someone will call you back
Supposedly faster speed- was very very slow
Needed an extender - they couldn't help me, couldn't recommend anyone who could help
Said ‘wasn't their problem'
Eventually the manager admitted that they offer just a service - not a value added one

Avoid mweb!

On 01/04/2021, I received notification that Order No. X6170237 was placed with Openserve. Tracking the process I received the following message: "A delay has occurred with your order. We are working with Openserve to resolve and will keep you updated via SMS". Unfortunately, the wrong address was entered. Please cancel the request.

On the 4th of March I placed an order for MWEB's promotion of 25mbps up and down for 499 uncapped unthrottled. I received a call to say they could pin my address and could I please send a copy of the municipal bill. I did so and also sent them a screen shot of my checking my coverage on the open-source website. I received my order number on the 4th with details to create my login to my mweb account. I went and completed all the necessary and started tracking my order. The next day I saw that my order had reached the received and being processed section for the Fibre and the order placed with the courier for the router. The following week the installers came to my next door neighbour's and while they were there they said they would install fir us to to avoid having to dig up the driveway twice. They told me they needed an A and B number to come back and activate the line. I tried without success to contact mweb... Sent emails, Facebook messenger messages and tried to call but could not get through to a single person to assist me. This morning I received a message that my order had been put on hold due to problems with infrastructure installations... But it's all installed on my side, it just needs to be activated but I cannot get through to someone who can help me... It's rediculous. If I have not heard from nweb by the end of business on Monday I am going to assume me order has bedn canceled and I will move onto another service provider to assist me. My contact number is [protected].

I signed up for Fiber last year November but it was never installed, so in December I called to cancel the service as Mweb debited my account an the service was not installed yet.

They said they would cancel it but it was never cancelled I have spoken to numerous consultants in the billing, technical and what ever department.

Please call urgently the service is pathetic.. Service agents Marlon, Rafieka Jolene (who said she will escalate to her manager on the 17/02/21 an turn around time is 24hours the manager has since not called me back. Reg MWB17088320
Today is spoke to a Rushaan in the billing department

I have tried, on numerous occasions, to contact the customer care line for assistance with internet, or rather the lack there of. I have decided to cancel our relationship with MWEB. Please contact me @[protected], Jacqui. This is extremely important.

I'm paying the 50mbps uncapped package and I'm barely getting 1Mbps. My connection is incredibly unstable, it goes off several times every few minutes and online gaming and streaming has become impossible. Now I'm obligated to stay with mweb or pay the full cost of the installation and router. Mweb are terrible, feels like I've been scammed. I would've took the cheapest package if I knew my speed would be this bad

On the 23 Feb 2021, i received a notification to pay R 399.00 for my Mweb Fibre order, I paid immediately. On the 26 Feb 2021, I confirmed my installation for the 29 Feb 2021. However no one pitched up at my address at the scheduled time. I called Mweb and was told that they will call me back. Over the next few days I called Mweb to see what was going on, none of the representative could provide me with any information. After 6 days and still no feedback, I decided to cancel my Fibre order as well as my current ADSL service which was with Mweb. I requested the cancellation on the 04 Feb 2021. Although I received my refund on the 17 Feb 2021, Mweb has still not cancelled the order. Therefore when I approached another ISP to handle my fibre installation they advised they cannot assist me as Mweb has not released my line. They have also billed me incorrectly this month. When I call after sales department was was told my cancellation would be process in 7 days. When it wasn't I called again and was told it was 10 days, when I followed up once more, I was told that it would take 14 days from the 28 Feb 2021. Clearly no one knows how the cancellation process works. I desperately require the fibre installation to take place however the other service provider can only assist me once Mweb sorts out their mess. I have been a customer with Mweb since 2012 and this is the first time I have ever had an issue with their service. I have called the after sales department about 12 times since the 04 Feb 2021, I am constantly promised that some one will call me however no one calls. On 3 of these occasions I was told Carmen he manager will call me. To date Carmen has not called. If this was not bad enough they have billed me incorrectly. I called the billing department but was once more told that someone will call me back. this been 5 days since that enquiry and still not feedback.

I had Fibre installed by Mweb on the 26th of February.
The people who installed the box did not install it at my desk, where my router and telephone stands.

I have logged a support ticket with Mweb and asked them to come and install the box at the correct place in my office. It is now the 8th of March and still no response form MWEB,

I have called them numerous times and then I hold on for more than 30 minutes and I also get cut off.

No one seems to be interested in helping a client that is paying for a service, and I can't even terminate this service because it is a 12 month contract.

The service is terrible.

Good day

My dad David Skinner who is 85 years old has relocate and he is struggling to get his ADSL line cancelled at Mweb. He was calling their [protected] and the voice prompt of Mweb is not even working . this is now going on for more than 2 months. He cannot cancel his Telkom line for he needs to cancel his ADSL line with Mweb... He drove through to Mweb Head Office in N! City just to see that their offices is closed this was 05/03/2021 and the same damn number as above onthe doorthat you should call.

His email address is [protected]@gmail.com and mine is [protected]@kelderhof.co.za

I will be sending you emails the whole day

I can't get through to those numbers

What must I do -I am asking you guys about the increase

Not about cancelling my web WFI

Did you not read my emails

please call me [protected]

My accounst still shows inactive i am unable to use or creat my email there is no website builder i can use

Our email address [protected]@icon.co.za is currently not receiving any incoming mail, and I am unable to get through the MWeb Technical Helpdesk to find out what the situation is.

Sending emails is not a problem however.

When is this likely to be resolved?

Order Fulfillment - Order Status Query - Ref No: MWB16785492. I have been waiting since the 13th of Jan for my fiber line. Hardly any communications from Mweb, Cant get hold of them and forced to leave a a number . Every time I call...famous words is " I understand your frustration" They promise to give feedback and call me the next day to ask me exactly what I told them the day before.

Installation and operation of fibre was supposed to be done within 14 working days.

The above mentioned ref number has been moved to previous queries and is no longer regarded as an active one on the customer portal. I NOT able to add comments all of the sudden as of today. I suspect that the functionality has been disabled due to my daily interaction with the "active queries".

Appreciate the assistance in resolving the matter as working from home becomes a nightmare without the proper infrastructure/connection.

Regards

I have been trying to get a hold of someone in Mweb to cancel my order for fibre. The call centre cant help me, they say I have to log in. I have done so, but it is not allowing me to send in a query through their system. Please do not deliver, and please do not charge me.

I ordered on the 21st of January 2021, and I would like to cancel before they install.

My name is Michael Eliason. My ID number is [protected]. My email address is [protected]@mweb.co.za. My telephone number is +[protected].

I have been trying to contact mweb since last week. I get through but they keep transferring me to a different department each time. I have changed my phone number therefore I cannot get the one time pin number. I hold on for ages to get someone to answer me. I am calling internationally and it is so expensive to call, hold on, be transferred and never get to speak to anyone that is able to help me. This is a business account so I need it urgently.

Please help.

I tried for several months to find an email-address, but I couldn't. Therefore I decided to complete the "file a complaint" on Mweb Complaints. When I downloads the AVG Internet Security (from Mweb's webpage) I, m told that I have only the "trial" and that it
expires in 23 days. When I enter the activation code, they says it is wrong. In other words: I don't have an activation code and I, m paying for it!

On 9 December my MWeb was, supposedly, connected. Today, 20 January, it has still not been connected, although I have been billed monthly for service. Efforts to get help telephonically are a joke, the phone has rung for 45 minutes unanswered. Complaints via email are never acknowledged. I legally have a 3 month "cooling off" period and am considering using this.

Ek sukkel al van Junie 2020 met my fibre lyn. Op 2021-01-14 het die wifi afgegaan 3 keer. Ek het 08:00 geskakel en met Michael gepraat hy dit aangesit 12:00 het dit weer afgegaan het toe met Laura McKenzie gepraat sy het dit weer aangesit, om 17:45 het ek weer geskakel en met Mpolela gepraat en sy het gese ons moet die broadband konneksie toets om te kyk of daar n fout op die lyn is en of die router foutief is.
Ek will weet wat is die volgende stap, want ek kan nie so aangaan met sulke diens nie.
Hoor graag van U.
