Webafrica must be one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with and their promise to get back to you within 48 hours needs to be taken with a bag of salt – today is day 17 since my original query and all they have done is to delete the original support ticket from 01 October 2019.
I asked for my service to be increased to 200TB as we had family staying with us who lived on the ‘net and after they left, in August I decreased it to 100TB again. September had the correct amount of R109 but in October my account went up to R209 yet the service details for my account says 100TB for R109.
I created a support ticket with billing to query the amount and said that I will be paying by EFT as soon as I receive the invoice for the correct amount as I have cancelled the credit card used for bill payments, one of a small number of companies that had my card details either sold it or got hacked..........thats why I have easily cancelled credit cards with low limits.
No feedback from Webafrica apart from emails to say that my credit card payment did not go through and on the 4 October I created another support ticket with billing to query the amount as I have had no response from them. On the 15 October I created the below support ticket trying to find someone alive at their office as there was not any response from billing, perhaps their 120 support staff all gone on strike? Luckily Webafrica was my Netflix account so no loss to change service providers

SUPPORT TICKET 865677:

READ THE SERVICE DETAILS - IT SAYS CLEARLY R109.00 FOR 100 GB. TOO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?

IF YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN R109 AND R209 PLEASE ASK SOMEONE WHO CAN TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

EITHER YOU SEND A CORRECT INVOICE FOR R109 AND YOU WILL GET PAID OR CANCEL THE SERVICE, YOUR CHOICE.
 
I've been with WebAfrica for plenty of years now, and just ordered another product from them, because I know them. However, I also found that they just close tickets. My fiber order went nowhere for more than a week, and when I created a ticket, next day it was closed, with no explanation. I did get some feedback later, but I found it strange that the ticket just got closed. @WebAfrica Helper can maybe help out?
 
WebAfrica is the pits - many years ago i went for an interview there - gladly they thought i was not right lol.

Hosting with them is worse than anything - oh and if you have more than one ADSL line with them (clients) They sending you notifications about things but do not indicate which one it is.

Im shocked they are still in business to be honest - how they getting by, I dont know.
Hopefully the CEO is aware of this.
 
Sorry Rohan, GB not TB. Phone's auto correct can sometimes drive me up the wall when it decides to change words
according to some mysterious phone in the sky

@WebAfrica Helper

I have been a customer for 10 plus years, but I cannot stand the poor customer service,
that WA is currently giving their customers. Have you had a look at Hellopeter in just the
last 2 weeks, just wow.

Its actually sad, but the last year or so, something has gone terribly wrong with this company.
