Anelisa T was an amazing representative. She should get a promotion. This agent made a huge difference on how I felt about this company. She was caring helpful. We've been on my query for almost 2 hours and no complaints from my side . She was wonderful and did everything to the tea. You go girl. Just for verification this is Denworia giving you this feedback. Clock it girl. You people better give her a promotion excellent customer service. However the Company I don't like it. The feedback is for the agent not the company you are a horrible service provider

Hello Clyde
We hear how frustrating and exhausting this has been, especially being offline for two weeks and having to repeat the same troubleshooting steps across multiple agents. That is not the experience we want for you, and we fully understand how this impacts your day-to-day, especially your work.

Your case has now been prioritised for focused attention, and our technical support team is scheduled to contact you on Friday. They will take full ownership of your query, review the history of the three tickets and previous tests, and work towards a clear, final resolution without putting you through the same steps again.

ON BOARDING

So far, I am very impressed with the service and the turnaround time of the installation. I applied on Thursday afternoon, and by Friday at 9:30 a.m., Ntokozo was already there and completed the installation in less than 15 minutes. Within 40 minutes or less, my internet was active. I hope the service continues to be this reliable going forward.

Communication could be a bit faster

Communication could be a bit faster, as response times were sometimes slow and updates were not always immediate. However, my order was eventually processed successfully and I am happy with the fibre service and installation overall.One area for improvement would be reducing the waiting time for Vuma installation. In my case, it took close to two weeks, and a quicker turnaround would make the customer experience even better.Despite these delays, I am satisfied with the end result. The fibre connection has been great, and I appreciate that everything was eventually completed successfully.

Release my fibre line

I called this service provider to simply release my fibre line from their side as I want to make use of my own service provider because the service was already inactive when i moved to the new house. However it seems as though this service provider wants me to use webafrica by force not by choice as they are not responding to the requests to release the line from my service provider. i tried to contact Webafrica but they gave me more excuses than solution to get me to use them instead of what i want. I feel that the delay to release the line is intentional by webafrica since it is their fibrebox they literally want to bind me to make use of their services and i am entitled to freedom of choice you cannot force me to do anything. Release that fibreline you can come take that box as well i will get another one from my service provider because this is pathetic

Hi Zwakele,

Waiting weeks after placing your order and still not having the service active can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you're expecting a smooth and straightforward sign-up experience.

We'd really like the opportunity to take a closer look and understand exactly what is holding up your order. Please email customer-reviews@webafrica.com with your review details, a link or screenshot of your post, and your registered email address so we can securely verify your information and investigate further.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I recently received. I reached out for assistance, but unfortunately, my issue was not resolved, and I did not receive the level of support I expected.
Despite my efforts to seek help, there was a lack of communication and follow-through from your team. This experience has been frustrating and disappointing, especially as I trusted your organization to provide reliable and efficient service.
I kindly request that this matter be reviewed as a priority and that appropriate action be taken to address my concern. I would also appreciate clear feedback on how this issue will be resolved and what steps will be taken to prevent similar situations in the future.
I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution. Your team is nonchalant they drill wall but to give me feedback as to why there was no installation they didn't bother.

Hi Phumzile,

We hear your frustration, and this is not the experience we want for you at all. Being left without clear feedback after a visit, especially when work was already done on-site, is understandably upsetting.

We have taken action to move this forward. We have arranged for our onboarding support team to call you to walk through exactly what happened during the installation attempt, clarify why it could not be completed on the day, and guide you through the next steps to get your Vuma Reach fibre service fully set up.

In the meantime, we are also engaging directly with our installation partners to get a detailed report on the visit, including why communication was missed, so we can address this properly and prevent it from happening again.

We are committed to seeing this through with you and ensuring you are kept informed every step of the way. If there is anything specific you would like us to prioritise ahead of the call, feel free to let us know here, and we will make sure it is included.

We appreciate you raising this with us and giving us the opportunity to make it right.
