The customers should ask for the voice recording to see if the sales consultant said anything about keeping the price at Rx for 12 months.

Everyone is going to hike it, this 'deal',

“MWEB are advertising R399 uncapped un-throttled internet with Openserve and free router – fantastic deal so you sign up and a month later you get an email – ‘sorry prices going up to R449 a month from Jan 2020,'” said the user.

was inevitable to be hiked, it is simply not sustainable.

Yes, it was a strategy to grab market share.

FINE ALL these unethical and unscrupulous ISPs HEAVILY as they are ripping off clients. I use to highly respect mweb for breaking the back of high data prices but it seems that they have toxic a management head.

They so busy defending their right to do something, they forgot to ask if they should. They could have weighted the increase depending on when people signed up, or created some threshold before which the increase was void. They're apparently a technology company unable to deploy sufficiently interesting billing technologies that allow them to continue to profit whilst also being warmer. This cold & clinical tone from them isn't great.

These people must approach the NCC, we need a court to rule on the exact meaning of "from time to time" as according to the CPA, next, I'll grab a loaf of bread for R15, walk to the till, charged R18 and be told that the prices are amended from time to time.

And your new logo is still some bland copy paste nothing. You threw out the character and became a machine. What a mess you've become @MWEB.

Because MWEB.

People have no excuse for not researching who to avoid these days.

If you choose MWEB or Telkom, remember to pay your TV license too...
