Webafrica to acquire Mweb

[Rickster]

How is this even possible with their tiny market capital?

That's like a local spaza shop owner buying Pick n pay.

Web Africa buying low. Props to them.

Did WebAfrica not just migrate their network to Dimension Data? Coincidence or condition of the sale?

Webafrica chief commercial officer Greg Wright said the

... new merged entity would henceforth be known as Webafricamweb and that he has already registered the domain name for it.

It goes to show what a few hundred thousand compulsory R999 cancellation fees can accomplish!

Condition.

Anyone got a reference to when, around 2010, MWEB was the first to launch true uncapped ADSL and WebAfrica was one of the most vocal critics, saying that it was "unsustainable" and bad for the industry? Weird how it all ended up working out.

MwebAfrica

That implies there is mweb in other countries. Please no.

Nice to know they were always useless.

Great, now that MWEB just about finished migrating the netactive and optinet networks, they can start doing it all other again.

Time to move from mweb... been putting it off... been impressed with afrihost hosting.. tech skills and self service platform... still waiting for mweb to enable dkim and spf on my mail account.. been a year they have no idea... didn't think there were still people daft enough to use web Africa.

In this case a negative + negative definitely doesn't make a positive.

 

[supersunbird]

Talk about going from the big black box into the fire... RIP MWEB customers.

Great ads.

Could be worse. Webafrica could've bought OpenWeb.

MWEB has been selling assets and departments for years now. Not much of it left.

 

[ISP cash cow]

two turds don't make a gold bar

both of them are just as bad as one another.

and to think I was a customer of both of them back in the day and both of them during those times, were great and then just evolved into useless ISP's.

 

[Avbob se stoep]

Webafrica are by all accounts the most useless pos company around. Anyone still on mweb should probably start migrating.

No no, Telkom has reserved that position many years ago.
