Hello WA

After all these service feedback forms and words like "we aim to give you the best possible service" has just ticked me off in all the wrong places.

I want to love webafrica and I am from CPT, hell i even went for an interview there.

But holy hell
You have like 1 helpful person in support.
Hosting is useless
Support is on vacation 99% of the time, I'm shocked.
Generic responses everywhere
On hold on phone for days

You guys just have to look at Hetzner (which we opted to go for instead for the past few years) and you will see that all of the services and support you have is dismal in comparison to a company that actually means what they say.

Before you look down on this post, I am support staff for the company i work for so it bugs me how lack luster you guys are for such a big company in SA.

Another thing is even your MyBB rep has not gotten back to me about an issue which was MONTHS ago.
You do the least possible wherever possible.

Honestly, you guys need a wake up and your technical managers should go on a course because they literally know nothing, for females im suprised they got the job in support management without knowing the basics.


So please, just pull up your socks, in a general manner.

you think of webafrica and its like "oh ye there capped adsl is good" and thats about it.
 
+1 for Hetzner. I currently have 3 dedicated servers with them and their support is world class. I've even been woken at 3am with a phonecall from their support team because one of my servers went down and they wanted to get hold of me urgently to sort it out.
 
their billing department is even worse, try wanting to pay and close your accounts, took about 12 days to get a response, so guess I'll also wait 12 days before I pay.

Hi Belligerence,

Reading a complaint like this is not good at all and I need to apologise for the way things were handled. Definitely seems like we dropped the ball on your issues so you have every right to be angry with us.

I have asked our team to contact you and get to the bottom of this issue.
 
Add to that nobody working on weekends - an ISP that closes on weekends.

Our support center are open ever day (incl. weekends) from 06h00 to 00h00. They could have just been busy at the time of your call.

Please drop me a PM if you there are any outstanding issues on your account.

Hi, nerevar,

Sorry for the delay in our team getting back to you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
