FAULTY ONT BOX - 462621 / 462274 / W2706108 / 33771

So my Fiber was installed on the 17th of June 2026. not even a new line only a little white ONT box that took nearly 2 weeks to be done. when the 5 minute installation job was done on the 17th on the sign off sheet i noted that i was not happy with the installation as the fiber kept connecting and then all of the sudden it says no internet access. since the 17th i have brought this up with webafrica numerous times. first off i delt with a useless consultant and after getting put through to 7 others i finally got a reference number for the complaint. every day i have been following up on this as i am now using my neighbors ONT as they are away as mine is faulty. if i plug my neighbors ONT in i dont have any issues as soon as i plug min in it says no internet access. its a constant back and forth between webafrica blaming TT connect and TT connect blaming webfafrica. the best is the original ref number i got 410299 after phoning TT connect came up as a Afrihost ref number so webafrica is LYING the whole way. the other ref number is WA2857916 that i got that is just useless. after confronting webafrica about laying i got given new ref numbers on the 26th 462621 / 462274 / W2706108 / 33771. still to this date the ONT has not been replaced. i am fed up with Webafrica. i will be persuing legal action now with a lawyer and the Ombudsman as i am done dealing with this incompetence now - quick to take your money but useless at providing a service and sorting out stuff.
consultants that i have delt with : Winnie and Chanelle.
if i could give 0 stars i would.
would not recomend at all.
WEBAFRICA YOU GUYS ARE BEYOND USELESS AND I HAVE HAD IT NOW.
WILL CANCELL MY FIBER WITH YOU GUYS ON MONDAY AS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NOW

Hi Mariska, we can hear just how frustrating and exhausting this experience has been for you, especially after dealing with repeated follow-ups, conflicting feedback, and a service that has not been stable since installation. Having to rely on a neighbour’s ONT to stay connected is certainly not what you signed up for.

From what you’ve described, the issue does point to a faulty ONT, and we can see how the back-and-forth between providers and the multiple reference numbers have made this even more difficult to resolve. That’s not the level of clarity or ownership we aim to provide.

We’ve arranged for our Retentions team to contact you as a priority to discuss your experience in detail and take full ownership of the next steps. This includes reviewing the ONT replacement properly with the relevant fibre partner and that you receive clear, consistent updates going forward.

In the meantime, your case has been flagged for urgent review so that there is a single, focused path to resolution without further delays or confusion.

We truly want to turn this around for you and restore your confidence in the service. Please keep an eye out for the call from our team, they will work with you directly to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Limited communication

I disliked that I had to open a chat to request a link to make the payment, because there was no communication for several hours after signing up and placing the order.
And the technicians were late for the installation appointment and did not notify when they were on their way.

Hi Nolly, thank you for sharing this with us. We can completely understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive timely communication after signing up, and then needing to reach out just to get a payment link. The delay with the installation team and lack of updates on their arrival would have added to that experience.

We’ve noted your feedback around both the communication gap and the technician arrival, as this is not the smooth, well-informed journey we aim to provide.

To make managing your billing quicker and more convenient going forward, the Webafrica App puts everything in one place. Here’s how you can manage your billing easily:
Link: https://bit.ly/3R3sTPm
• Log in to the Webafrica App
• Navigate to the “Billing” section
• View your current balance and invoices
• Make secure payments directly in the app
• Download invoices and track payment history
• Update your payment method if needed

This helps you stay in control without needing to request links or wait for assistance. We’re here to make this simpler and smoother for you going forward.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

I really wish there was an option for minus 5 stars or less because that would've been my rating. The worst service, the worst coverage. I have had nothing but issues since day one. Installation was a problem, connectivity was a problem, now speed and coverage is a problem with less than zero customer support. I cannot wait to boot Web Africa and get another supplier. Be well warned before signing up.

Hi John, we hear how frustrating this journey has been for you, from installation challenges to ongoing connectivity and speed concerns. That’s a lot to deal with, and we understand why you’d feel disappointed.

We can see our technical support team worked with you on Saturday to resolve the Evotel speed issue, and this has been logged on your account, so we can continue tracking your experience closely.

To help you get the best possible performance, here are a few quick tips that often make a noticeable difference:
• Try connecting via LAN cable where possible for more stable speeds
• Position your router in an open, central space away from walls or large electronics
• Limit the number of devices streaming or downloading at the same time
• Restart your router periodically to refresh the connection

We’re committed to improving your experience and making sure you feel confident in your connection.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

We're especially pleased that the installation team represented Webafrica so well through their professionalism, care, and respect for your property.

Experiences like yours are exactly what we strive to deliver, and your feedback is fantastic encouragement for everyone involved.

We’ll continue working to provide the outstanding service and smooth onboarding experience that make joining Webafrica a pleasure.

Atrocious customer service and a total disregard for reputation.

My FTTH installation (Order #Z2858182) was escalated last week. Both Webafrica and Frogfoot gave explicit verbal reassurances that it would be handled urgently. Absolutely nothing has been done. Frogfoot still hasn't even called to schedule the installation. When I raised this, the Webafrica support agent simply dismissed me. They hid behind "SLA" and arrogantly told me I could go ahead and complain on social media because they don't care about their reputation. These unfulfilled promises and delays are actively risking my livelihood, as I start a remote-work job on 6 July and require a functional line. Senior management needs to see the reality of how their staff treat paying customers. Disgraceful.

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how frustrating and stressful this must feel, especially with the urgency around your upcoming start date and the need to have a working fibre connection in place. This is not the kind of experience or level of support we aim to deliver, and we can see how this situation has added unnecessary pressure.
We can confirm that installation timelines are typically set at 14 working days by the network provider from the time the order is placed. That said, given the urgency of your situation, an escalation was raised this morning with the network provider requesting priority handling in an effort to speed up your installation.
The team handling your order remains actively engaged with the provider and will continue to follow up to push for the earliest possible installation date. You will be provided with feedback as soon as there is any update following this escalation.
Your feedback regarding your experience, including the interaction you highlighted, will be shared with our Service Quality Team to review how this was handled and ensure better support and accountability going forward.

Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Hi Patrick

That’s a really frustrating experience, especially after trying for so long to get assistance. You should never have to chase this hard just to get a simple request sorted, and we completely understand how disappointing this feels.

We’ve taken action by escalating your profile to our Retentions team, who will personally review your request and reach out to you directly to finalise the next steps. You can expect clear communication and proper follow-through from here.

We’re committed to turning this around for you and making the process quick, smooth, and stress-free from here.
