Hi stevenv, I am sorry to hear about your experience.
I will follow up on this immediately
Mweb was totally hassle free to cancel for me. Sent me the form, a couple of email follow ups. Done.
I agree with Markface.
I cancelled two accounts I had with them. It's a matter of filling in the form and emailing it through. You don't HAVE to fax it. Nor is it any more complicated than that.
The only annoying things are filling out that form and waiting for the calendar month notice period to finish.
That's not hassle free, with Openweb I sent one email requesting cancellation and it was done, Afrihost I don't even have to email, even better.Mweb was totally hassle free to cancel for me. Sent me the form, a couple of email follow ups. Done.

Why should you have to fill in a form and then email it to cancel a service? Do you know how crazy that sounds? It shouldn't take more than 1 click of a button to cancel.
LOL, its hassle free coz I didn't even have to get off my ass to do it.What is hassle free about filling in a form and having to follow up with a few emails?
FTFYLOL, its hassle free coz I didn't even have to get off my ass to do it.
1) Decide you want to cancel mweb
2) Email cancellations@mweb to tell them
3) Wait and receive nothing
4) PM Mwebguy to send you form
5) Fill in the form, scan it back to them
6) Wait a few days
7) They claim it can't be processed because they can't find the account
8) Resend again telling them the form is correct
9) Wait a few more days and again pm mwebguy
10) Receive confirmation email that its cancelled
11) Pray to god that no more mweb incompetence will befall you.
I'll admit, more of a hassle than most though.
I think things went wrong for me after some sales guy from MWEB phoned me after I requested the cancellation. After almost half an hour call, he convinced me to let him change the account to a 1GB prepaid and to load 6 months credit. The "sales pitch" was that by having six months credit, it would make it easier for me to come back if I ever wanted to. I was also told that after the six months if I hadn't returned, the account would be cancelled completely. The month after that call, they didn't cancel the uncapped portion of the account and I had to phone and shout at someone to get them to fix that. Now that the six months is over, I'm being charged 1GB prepaid and have to start shouting at people again. I don't like shouting at people, this company makes me do that
Easier to come back? Bull****! mweb gives you no hassles when you want to join, its when you want to leave that the problems arise, as you've experienced.I think things went wrong for me after some sales guy from MWEB phoned me after I requested the cancellation.

4) Receive confirmation email that its cancelled
4) Profit (quite literally considering their prices)

MWEB have the kakkest account admin on the website.
I can't even login to check if the account I cancelled is well and truly cancelled. Don't feel like any surprises for Christmas, a lekker blacklist letter.
But as I am no longer a customer (I hope), far be it beyond me to actually try recommend they overhaul that POS website of theirs. I tried when I was a paying customer.
