    Avoid 1-Grid. Looking for a new cost effective host

    Hi everyone I'm fed up with 1-Grids reoccurring billing issues. A domain has expired as I assumed my card will get debited automatically as always. Instead 1-Grid is blaming me on their system failure as the invoice was generated, but not paid automatically. Looking for a cost effective host...

    Hostking lost all my e-mails. Looking for a reliable hosting provider.

    All my e-mails suddenly disappeared from Hostking's shared server without any explanation. Fault logged with them to investigate and restore but they cannot help and no answer as to what happened to my IMAP e-mails. Very unreliable.

    Business Debit Order Collections

    Does anyone know/have any recommendations on what companies or banks to use when it comes to business debit order collections? I have tried Standard Bank - sent them a bunch of emails, sent a business relationship manager a bunch of emails and eventually tried their call centre. The lady we...

    Afrihost Unresponsive in cancellation request [#RKF-331-99874]

    In November 2021 when my lease ran out at my apartment I suspended the aforementioned service with Purple Forest / Afrihost. To my fault as I have dozens of services with Afrihost and have been a client of theirs for over a decade, I did not check to ensure the service was cancelled, and merely...

    Afrihost & Vumatel non existent support,

    I am at wits end here and do not know what to do. We ordered a new fibre installation through Afrihost over a month and a half ago, eventually after rectifying a issue with a wrong address we finally had the fibre installed on the 2nd of November by two uninterested Vumatel engineers. They came...

    Anyone else at the wits end with Afrihost's WhatsApp support?

    I am so incredibly disappointed with the bad attitude of the staff serving clients on Afrihost's WhatApp support. 1. On average it takes over an hour to get a response, sometimes only the next day; 2. Staff make you reset everything before they help (as I haven't tried that before I reached out...

    RAIN 5G signal, service and attitude is terrible. Who has had luck with a quick cancellation?

    All was good until a month ago. Since then my access has been shocking. What is worse, is that I have logged at least 10 support tickets over the last 2 weeks. The only response I got was a single generic copy and paste asking me to reboot my router and move it around. No regard was given to my...

    Not getting reaction from Discovery Bank regarding complaint

    My credit card has been migrated from FNB to Discovery Bank (Actioned by Discovery Bank). After the migration was done I was contacted by a Discovery Bank representative and instructed to download the Discovery Bank app on my mobile in order to request a new credit card. This step was required...

    What does it take to get RAIN to attend to a request?

    After having signed up for the Black Friday special on Rain's 5G, it turned out that the service wasn't going to work for me, so I decided to return the router and cancel the subscription. It took a few tries (four) to contact the support team to get someone to actually phone me to arrange the...

    Vodacom online Unacceptable service

    This month December 2018 i was due for an upgrade, i decided to rather upgrade online than going into a store, which typically takes forever. Anyway i went through the process, it was simple and easy to do and once done, i thought to myself that was fairly painless and is a great service...

    Telkom Mobile Non-Delivery

    I've ordered a Huawei P10 lite on a Freeme mobile contract on the 8th March 2018. On the 14th of march I received and SMS saying the delivery will take place within 3-5 days, with an order number to use as a tracking number and the debit order going off in my account. After 3 days, and the...

    Evetech- Worst service ever

    What an unbelievably horrible experience buying from these people. I purchased a mouse from them on the 27th of Feb and paid a courier fee to have it delivered and I am still without a mouse (14 March). They sent me a faulty one which I eventually received around the 5th or 6th of March. I...

    Why is Afrihost Support so slow and bad

    Good day to everyone on this forum I used to use Afrihost Capped DSL, and was fairly happy with them. I tried out another provider for about 6 months, and when I came back to Afrihost, I was absolutely shocked by the way their support seems to have deteriorated. I was overbilled on my...

    Avoid Asus and Ensure Services At All Cost

    This is not my preferred approach but after 3 months of trying to speak to a human being that cares, I feel I have a responsibility to warn would be customers. My drama started in October 2017 with the failure of an Asus approximately 3 year old laptop. I suspected a hard drive failure and at...

    Afrihost & Pathetic service

    I have no words to describe my utter disappointment with Afrihost's service. The only reason I've not moved to another ISP is that they are probably all the same. They all have great technology and infrastructure etc but they all employ people that are completely useless and disinterested. They...

    MYZ refuses refund of brand new unused purchase?

    As a pensioner, I asked a local repairman "Efas" to test a non-cooking microwave oven. A neighbour had asked me (do electrical/electronics) to check his micro. Having never tested the HT side of a micro, I wanted his advice. After testing with my DMM, he told me the Magnetron is blown so I...
