Hey :)

I know you guys frequent this forum and this appears to be the only way of getting hold of you.

I've tried to send to [email protected] with no result.
I've tried to send to [email protected] with only a form email "Thank you SO much for your email!" as a return and nothing else.
I've tried your support number 0861 22 44 66 and it's eternally unavailable.

Is there something I'm missing? :)

I don't mean to be annoying about this but our organization applied for Uncapped at the beginning of February. Openweb said they didn't get the application. Fine. We then reapplied, sent it in and confirmed it had been received.

Two weeks later when I'd heard nothing, I asked Openweb and was told that IS had lost the application. Fine, not a problem (would have been nice to be told about it beforehand but fine) I sent in another application.

I've yet to hear from you on this one and the month of March is slowly ticking by. I'm still with an ISP I don't want, paying prices I don't want and running out of cap.

Now this is despite the fact that we've paid for the first month of access (as requested) as well as the deposit for the router. You guys are very quick to ask for cash but not so fast on the service so far.

Now, I don't know if I even particularly want to be with Openweb if this is what the support is going to be like but I know they're a quality company and I know that many people here have had fantastic experiences with them.

Please guys, don't prove me wrong here.
 
I had a similar problem with the support panel. It turned out the messages were not being delivered (I received news of this in my spam folder). Try sending a PM to mrbeep because that worked and he was quick to sort it out. Not sure if mrbeep is aware of the message delivery problem, though.
 
Thanks lws, I'll try giving that a go.

Getting frustrating now. Can anyone else get through on the 0861 number?
 
I am having the exact same issue.
I finally thought i sorted it out today. But all i got was a 2 line answer. It looked like my user name and password word. I am not sure.
I have tried it and got 0 response.

I am seriously thinking about moving my business.. This is shocking
 
Don't do it gumpie - give them some time. Openweb have a long history of being a great company and MrBeep has been very active on these forums :)
 
Ja, i think something is definitely wrong at OpenWeb lately. I had been with them for nearly a year, and the last 2 to 3 months things were really bad. The last straw was when I got no response to my problems. I have since left them and am paying R8 more per month for my ADSL but I am getting the desired service. ITs a pity, I l really liked being with OpenWeb, maybe I will try again in a few months.
 
I'll reserve judgement until/if I hear from MrBeep or someone at OpenWeb. Thing is, we've now been with uncapped for more than a month and costs are starting to pile up.
 
Hi Friends

We at OpenWeb strive to provide the best support possible to our valued clients. Sometimes, our suppliers let us down, upon which we need to slap them across the knuckles.

As for our Contact Centre, the lines were very busy over the new month, but I have ordered another 8 lines to make up for this.

I do apologise.

Kind regards
MrBEEP

If I recall correctly, you've stated this quite a number of times in the past, are these different from the previously stated lines to be installed?

For eg : http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showpost.php?p=2357106&postcount=55

This seems to continue to be a problem, with people not getting through to your support centre =P
 
You could always install some Generic hold music and a "Thank you for your call". It may be annoying but it does seem much better than "Beep beep beep beep beep"

Thanks for the reply MrBeep - have replied as well.

For those that care, IS is currently configuring the router.
 
The 8 lines ordered is in addition to previous ordered lines.

Our level of growth have outnumbered our lines from 1 March.
