Bad service, false information and poor ethics

I app**** for an ADSL line upgrade from 4 to 10 Mbps. I was told it would take 48 hours for the upgrade, but it took nearly 3 weeks before my line started syncing at the higher rate. No explanation as to why this was the case in dozens of calls, emails and online chats over nearly the entire 3-week period. I literally wasted hours and endless frustration begging to be updated. After the issue was resolved, there was no follow-up whatsoever. <br> <br> I was also told IN WRITING that the upgraded line bundle would cost a discounted R458/month. Afrihost then completely backtracked AFTER the upgrade was done and told me I would have to pay R578/month.<br> <br> I have cancelled my account and want absolutely nothing to do with Afrihost. My main purpose here is to warn others considering Afrihost as their ISP -- expect an unacceptable level of disorganised, ill-informed and tardy service, as well as questionable business ethics (bait-and-switch tactic, not honouring agreement, breach of trust, poor customer relations).

Hello DSP1sign,

We're sincerely sorry for the delays in having your line upgraded, sometimes Telkom can process the order a little later than originally planned. We can confirm that the line is at a 10Mbps sync though.

We can't seem to find the mail mentioning different pricing, only direct quotes from packages via our website. We tried getting in touch last night via phone and reached out via mail, sorry to hear you don't want to take this further.

We sincerely wish you the best of luck going forward.

Regards
The Afrihost team
